INTRODUCTORY NOTE. 



Tliis repoi't docs not aspire to the dignity cf a history. It is Imt a compend of 
well authenticated facts, reliable official documents and accurate statistics. Pos- 
sibly it may furnish some njaterial for history hereafter. The chief design in view 
has been to show what was done by Indiana, during the war, in raising troeps, 
furnishing arms and supplies, atibrding relief to the sick and distressed, and in 
many other ways contributing to the efficiency of the two hundred and eight 
thousand men sent to the iiold, and to the success of the measures of the government 
in suppressing the rebellion. 

If any excuse, be needed for faulty composition, or incongruities of style and 
arrangement, it will be found in the statement that other laborious and exacting 
official duties have allowed but little opportunity for producing the report in a 
form that might be more acceptable to professional literary taste, or more creditable 
to the patriotic soldiers of Indiana, in whose interest it has been prepared.

INDIANA IN THE WAR 



E EEBELLION 



■MUl'TANT GENERAI/S REPORT- 



CONDITION OF THE STxVTE 

AT THE CO:^r MEN CEMENT OF THE WAR. 

At an early period, while Indiana was yet a territoiT; a militia 
system was devised which gradually grew into one of considerable 
importance and efliciency. From the formation of the State 
Government to 1830, the militia was in high repute and af- 
forded the surest channel through which civil positions could be 
reached. In 1828, there were sixty-five regiments organized into 
eighteen brigades and seven divisions, with an aggregate of about 
forty thous'cind ofTicers and men ; and in 1832, the date of the last 
returns, the aggregate number of officers and men reached fifty 
thousand nine hundred and thirteen, of which thirty-one were 
general officers, one hundred and ten general staff officers, five 
hundred and sixty-six field officers, tv\'0 thousand one hundred and 
fifty-four company officers, and fifty-one thousand and fifty-two 
non-con)missioned officers, musicians, artilicers and privates. The 
number of public arms distributed can not now be stated. Gradu- 
ally the interest, which had been felt in maintaining the militia^ 
weakened and failed to secure that sacrifice of time and means 
upon which ils success had necessarily depended, so that by the 
year 1834, the organization was entirely abandoned. AVhat be- 
came of the arms, it is now impossible to tell, but judging from 
the experience of a later date, it is reasonable to presume that they 
were scattered and lost, or retained by the disbanded troops.

4 ADJUTANT GENERALS REPORT. 

of argament and ceased to discuss measures niid plans fortlie peace- 
able restoration of the national authority in the revolted States, and 
with singular unanimity and determination, accepted the issue of 
war as the only means left to save and perpetuate tlie national ex- 
istence and the priceless liberties so long enjoyed. 

The unprepared condition of Indiana at this juncture has already 
been alluded to. She had no money, no arms or munitions, no or- 
ganized militia! The position of Governor Morton, who had 
barely entered upon the duties of liis office, was surrounded wiih 
responsibilities and embaiTassments before unknown and seemingly 
almost insurmountable; but with a full understanding of the patri- 
otic disposition of the people, and an unfaltering coniideiice in the 
justice of the cause in which he was about to engage, not a moment 
was lost in hesitation or distrust. 

The lelegra|ih on the morning of the 15th bore the foUovv-ing 
message from the Governor to President Lincoln at Washington : 

" Executive Department of Indiana, 
"Indianapolis, April 15tli, 1861. 
-'' To Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States: 

" On behalf of the State of Indiana, I tender to you, for tlie defense of the Xatioii. 
and to uphold the authority of the Government, ten thousand men. 

(Sigued,) " Olivku r. JMouTON, 

" Govei'iior of Indiana." 

The same day the President issued his proclamation* calling 
forth the militia of the several States of the Union, to the aggregate 
number of seventy-five thousand, in order to suppress the rebellion 
and cause the laws to be duly executed. The quota of Indiana 
was snb--equently fixed by the Secretary of War at six regiments 
of infantry, or riflemen, comprising in officers and men, four thou- 
sand six hundred and eighty -three, to serve for the period of three 
months, unless sooner discharged. On the 16th, the Govern.or 
issued a proclamationf briefly reciting the acts of rebellion which 
had brought on the war, and calling upon the loyal and patriotic 
men of the State to the number of six regiments, to organize them- 
selves into military companies and forthwith report the same to the 
Adjutant General, in order that they might be speedily mustered 
into the service of the United States, The Honorable Lewis 
Wallace, of Crawfordsville, who had served in the Mexican war, 
and had, as a legislator and citizen, taken a deep interest in military

affairs, was appointed Adjutant General. Colonel Thomas A. 
Morris, of Indianapolis, a graduate of the United States Military 
Academy, and an eminent citizen, was appointed Quartermaster 
General ; and Isaiah Mansur, Esq., of Indianapolis, an experienced 
and prominent merchant, was appointed Commissary General. 
These appointments were made without solicitation and were in 
every way unexceptionable, and gave entire satisfaction to the people 
of the State. 

Indianapolis having been designated by the War Department as 
the place of redezvous for troops, the commodious Fair (^roundsof 
the Indiana State; Board of Agriculture, adjoining the city, were 
secured for that purpose, and named, in honor of the Governor, 
" Camp Morton." Instructions were issued in general orders by 
the Adjutant General for the formation of companies; the several 
military de|)artments were speedily organized for business, and all 
available measures taken to fill the quota with the least possible 
delay. 

To meet the extraordinary condition of afftiirs, the Governor 
issued his call on the 19th of April to the members of the Legisla- 
ture, requiring them to convene in special session, at the State 
Capital, on the 24th. 

In the meantime, every class of community manifested the wild- 
est enthusiasm and most intense excitement; public meetings 
lo facilitate the formation of companies, and to give expression 
to the sentiments of the people touching their duty in the pending 
crisis, were held in every city, town and neighborhood, and an 
ardent and unquenchable military spirit was at once aroused that 
l)id fair to embrace in its sweep every able-bodied man in the State. 
The day after the call was made five hundred men were in camp, 
and the Governor, apprehensive (as was the whole country at the 
Time) that an etlbrt would be made by the rebels to take possession 
of the Federal Capital, proposed to send forward half a regiment, if 
required, although unable to furnish the necessary arms and equip- 
ments. Receiving no reply to this offer from the War Department. 
it was renewed on the day following and the number increased to 
one thousand men. By the 19th — three days after the call — there 
were twenty-four hundred men in camp, and arrivals continued by 
every train. So rapidly did volunteering proceed, in less than 
seven days more than twelve thousand men, or nearly three times 
the quota required, had been tendered. Contests to secure the 



6 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

acceptance of companies were earnest and frequent. The qnestiou 
was not " Who will go ? '' but, " Who will be allowed to go ? " , In 
many cases companies came forward without orders, or rather in 
defiance of orders, in the hope that they could be received, or that 
a second call would at once be made, and frequently their enlist- 
ment rolls contained twice, and even thrice, the number of names 
required. Hundreds who were unable to get into companies at 
home, came singly and in squads to the general rendezvous on 
their own responsibility, and, by combining with others in liUe con- 
dition, and with fragments from companies having a surplus, formetl 
new companies and joined in the general clamor for acceptance. The 
response was as gratifying as it was universal and left no doubt 
ns to the entire and lasting devotion of Indiana to the fortunes of 
the Union. Like the sunlight, the "war fever" permeated every 
locality. The " Old Flag" at once became sacred and was proudly 
displayed in every breeze from the highest peaks of churches, sciiool 
houses and private dwellings. The presentation of a stand of na- 
tional colors by patriotic ladies to each company was rarely omitted, 
•and, whenever practicable, brass bands were provided to escort them 
to the general camp. 

Throughout the State the people acted in the most liberal and 
patriotic manner, providing the men with blankets, underclothing. 
and other necessary supplies which the authorities could not at the 
moment furnish. Families, suddenly deprived of husbands, fathers 
and brothers, upon whom they vt^ere dependent, were the recipients 
of all the assistance that abundant hands and free hearts could 
give. Several railroad comj'janies, operating in the State, announced 
that they would carry all regularly enlisted volunteers free. Dona- 
tions of money, in munificent sums, were made by cirizens and 
by the authorities of cities, towns and counties to aid the cause in 
various ways; and a number of banks and many wealthy capital- 
ists ofTered to advance large sums to the State until provision 
should be made by the Legislature, or the General Government, 
for equipping and {>roviding for the troops. The eminent house of 
WiNSLow, liANiER & Co., of New York, long and honorably iden- 
tified with the financial history of the State, tendered a loan of 
twenty-five thousand dollars, without stipulations as to interest or 
the time when it should be repaid. 

The Getieral Government, being unable to furnish clothing and 
equipments, required by the large force so suddenly brought into 



ADDITIONAL REGIMENTS TENDEKICD. 7 

service, the State was compelled, through the Quartermaster- 
General, to become a purchaser of these supplies, in open markei, 
at home. The duties of the Commissary General, in subsisting 
the troops, were equally as important and responsible. Indeed, 
every dejiartment connected with the service was taxed to the 
utmost; the duties were novel, and the officers assigned to dis- 
charge them inexperienced and unskilled; yet better supplies were 
not furnished at any subsequent period during the war, or at so 
cheap a rate. 

On the SOth (Saturday), five days after the call, orders were 
issued for the organization of the regiments. Drs. Jon.v S. Bobbs 
and Alois D. Gall were appointed Medical Inspectors, and Major 
(now Major General) Thomas J. Wood, of the regular army, who 
had been specially detailed by the War Department for the pur- 
pose, proceeded to muster the troops into the service of the United 
States. 

On the same day, the Governor finding it impossible to restrain 
the tide of volunteers within the narrow limits of the three months' 
call, and being impressed with the necessity and importance, as 
well as to the General Government as to the State, of immediately 
placing an overwhelming force in active service, tendered to the 
Secretary of War six additional regiments, without conditions as 
to the term of service, with the assurance that they would be organ- 
ized, if accepted, in six days. Communication with VV'ashington 
City by telegraph being cut ofl^, no response to this ofle;r was re- 
ceived. On the 23d, in a dispatch forwarded by special messenger, 
it was renewed, and the Governor at the same time expressed his 
determination to at once put the six additional regiments in camp 
and under discipline, and hold them subject, at least for a time, to 
the demand of the Government. In every quarter, and especially 
in the counties bordering on the Ohio river, the most serious fears 
were entertained that the State would be invaded by rebel bands, 
known to be organizing in Kentucky, the tov.ns on the border 
plundered, and the country devastated. Every movement of the 
enemy indicated an early demonstration against the loyal people 
north of the Potomac and the Ohio. The determination of the 
Governor to anticipate a second call of the President by organizing 
and holding in readiness a well disciplined force, was therefore re- 
ceived with much satisfaction, particularly by the volunteers who 
had tendered their services, and were impatiently awaiting at their 



» ADJUTANT GENERAL S UEPORT. 

homes orders to march. Public confidence was further encouraged 
by the prompt measures set on foot by the Governor to procure, 
through agents dispatclied to the eastern cities and to Canada, a 
supply of first-class arms for State use, and by the organization in 
many counties of companies of Home Guards, who were armed for 
the time being with squirrel-rilies and fowling-pieces gathered up 
in their respective neighborhoods. 

The Legislature met in extra session on the 24th of April, and 
in a spirit of entire harmony, proceeded to the important duty of 
devising such measures as the critical state of the country seemed 
to demand. The Governor, in his special message,* after reviewing 
the history of the secession movement, and the part already per- 
formed by the State in compliance with the President's call, made 
the following recommendations: 

" 111 view of all the facts, it becomes the imperative duty of Indiana to make 
suitable preparations for the contest by providing ample supplies ot" men and money 
to insure the protection of the State and (General Government in, the prosecution 
of the war to a speedy and successful termination. I therefore recommend that one 
million of dollars be appropriated for the purchase of arms and munitions of war, 
and for the organization of such portion of the militia as may be deemed necessary 
for the emergency ; that a militia system be devised and enacted, looking chiefly to 
volunteers, Avhich shall insure the greatest protection to the State and unity and 
efficiency of the force to be employed ; that a law be enacted defining and punish- 
ing treason against the State ; that a law be enacted suspending the collection of 
debts against those who may be actually employed in the military service of the 
State, or the United States ; that suitable provision be made by the issue of bonds 
of the State, or otherwise, tor raising the money herein recommended to be appro- 
priated ; and that all necessary and proper legislation be had to protect the busi- 
ness, property and citizens of the State, under the circumstances in which they are 
placed.'" 

The Legislature, to replenish the treasury, promptly authorized 
a war loan of two millions of dollars, and made the following ap- 
propriations : — For general military purposes^ owe million dollars; 
for the purchase of arms, live hundred thousand dollars ; for con- 
lingent miUtari) expenses, one hundred thousand dollars ; and for 
■expenses of organizing- and snpporling the militia for tvjo years, one 
hiuidred and forty thousand dollars. The following laws were also 
passed: To organize the Indiana militia; to provide for the em- 
ployment of six regiments of State troops; to provide for the ap- 
pointment of a State Paymaster; to authorize counties to appro- 
priate moneys for the protection and maintenance of the families 
of volunteers, for the purchase of arms and equipments, and for

raising and maintaining military companies; and to jirovicJe for the 
jmnishmcnt of |)er.sons guilty of giving material aid and comfort 
to the enemies of this State, or of the United Slates, in a time of 
war. 

The three months' regiments were fully organized by the ap- 
jiointment of field and staff officers on the 27th of April, and a 
tliorough course of military training immediately instituted. In 
the Mexican war the State had five regiments, numbered from the 
first to the fifth inclusive; to avoid historical confusion, therefore, 
the new regiments were iinmhered by beginning with the sixth, as 
follows : 

Sixth Regiment, Colonel Thomas T, Cr[TTendi:n. 

Seventh Regiment, Colonel Ebenezer Dumont. 

Eighth Regiment, Colonel William P. Bf.ntox. 

Ninth Regiment, Colonel Robert H. Milroy. 

Tenth R,egiment, Colonel Joseph J. Reynolds. 

Eleventh Regiment, Colonel Lewis Wallace. 

These regimeiits constituted the First Brigade, Indiana volun- 
teers, under the following brigade officers, appointed and commis- 
sioned by the Governor:

Brigade Inspector; Milo S. Hascall, Captain and Aide-de-Camp. 
Subsequently Cyrus C. Hines was appointed Captain and Aid- 
de-Camp, and John A. Stein, First Lieutenant 10th Indiana 
Volunteers, was detailed as Acting Assistant Adjutant General, 
and added to the Brigade staff. 

The regiments composing General Morris' command, after being 
well arm.ed and thoroughly equipped by the State, were ordered to 
Western Virginia. Sketches of their movements and services will

Brigadier General Morris also issued the following congratula- 
tory address : 

Headquarters First Brigade Indiana Volunteers, | 
Indianapolis, July 29, 18G1. ^ 

To the Officers and Soldiers of the Brigade: 

The term of service for this Brigade, in the army of the United States, having 
expired, and the relation sof officers and soldiers about to be dissolved, the Gen- 
eral, in relinquishing his command, deems this a fit occasion to express his entire 
approbation of the conduct of the Brigade, whether in camp, on the march, or on 
the field of battle! The General tenders to all, his thanks for the soldierly bearing, 
tlie cheerful performance of every duty, and the patient endurance of the priva- 
tions and fatigues of campaign life, which all have so constantly exhibited. Called 
.suddenly by the National Executive from the ease and luxuries of home life, to 
tha defense of our Government, the officers and soldiers of this Brigade have vol- 
untarily submitted to the privations and restraints of military life ; and, with the 
intelligence of free Americans, have ac<|uired the arts of war as readily as they re- 
linquished their pursuits of peace. They have cheerfully endured the fatigue of 
long and dreary marches by day and night, through rain and stoim; they have 
borne the exhaustion of hunger for the sake of their country. Their labor and 
suffering were not In vain. The foe they met and vanquished. Tlioy scattered 
the traitors from their secure entrenchments in the gorges of Laurel Hill, stripped 
of their munitions of war, to flee before the vengeance of patriots. 

Soldiers! }ou have now returned to the friends whose prayers Avent witli you to 
the field of strife. They welcome you with pride and exultation. Your State and 
country acknowledge the value of your labors. May your future career be as 
your past has been, honorable to yourselves and serviceable to your country. 

The General in command, sensible of the great obligation he is under to the 
members of his Staff, can not refrain from this public acknowledgement of the 
value of their services. 

To Brigade Major Love, he can but feebly express his obligations. To his rijje 
and practical judgment, his accurate knowledge of the duties of officers and soldiers, 
his unremitting labors to secure instruction and discipline, to his cheerful and valu- 
able counsel, the General is greatly indebted. 

For the valuable services of Captain Benham, of the United States Englneei-s, 
not only In the appropriate duties of his station, but In his voluntary and arduous 
labors in the field, the General desires, in the name of the Brigade, to thank him. 
lie has proved himself not only the skillful engineer, but competent to discharge 
any and every duty incident to military life. 

To Captain Illnes, Ald-de-Camp, and to Acting Assistant Adjutant General 
Stein, the General tenders his acknowledgments for their ready and cheerful per- 
formance of the severe duties imposed upon them. 

By order of Brigadier General T. A. Morris. 

J. A. Stein, Acting Ass't Adj. Gen, 



SIX REGIMENTS — STATE TROOPS. 11 

An account of the re-organization of the regiments composing 
the First Brigade, for three years' service, will be given under the 
head of "Raising and Organizing Volunteers" in this volume. 



SIX REGIMENTS— STATE TROOPS. 

TRANSFER TO THE UNITED STATES SERVICE. 

Upon the organization of the six regiments of three months' men, 
under the first call, so anxious and enthusiastic were the people to 
serve the country, there remained in excets at the general rendez- 
vous, Camp Morton, twenty-nine companies ; besides, sixty-eight 
companies had been raised in different parts of the State and ten- 
tered to the Governor for active service ; and many more compa- 
nies would have been raised had the State authorities been able to 
give any assurance that they would be accepted. 

With a view, therefore, of meeting the wishes of the troops 
already enrolled, as \vcll as to foster and encourage the exuberant 
spirit of loyalty and patriotism so generally and suddenly mani- 
fested by the people, and being fully satisfied that additional forces 
w^ould soon be required and called for by the General Government, 
the Governor, on his own responsibility, and under the power vested 
in him as the Commander-in-Chief of the militia, determined to 
organize five regiments of twelve months' volunteers for the defense 
of the State, or for general service as the future might require, the 
regiments to be composed of the first fifty companies already raised 
and tendered. Instructions were also given to discharge from camp 
immediately all volunteers enlisted under the first call who were 
unwilling to enter the service of the State for one year. 

On the 6th of May the organization of companies sufficient for 
five regiments being about completed, the Legislature, then in extra 
session, passed an act authorizing and requiring the Governor to 
call into the service of the State six regiments of volunteer militia, 
(five being already raised,) to be composed of the companies that 
had been previously organized and reported to the Adjutant General 
and which had not been mustered into the service of the United 
States, the same to be received and mustered into the service of 
the State in the order in which they were organized and tendered, 



12 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

providing, that if the comj^anies so organized and tendered were 
not sufficient to complete the regiments, preference in the formation 
of the remaining companies should be given to counties which 
were not already represented by companies in the State or United 
States service. The act also contained the following provisions : 
The term of service to be twelve months; the regiments to be di- 
vided into cavalry, artillery and infantry, as the public service might 
demand, with the usual officers; the troops to be subject to the 
order of the Governor wath power to transfer them to fill any future 
requisition rtiade for forces on the State by the President of the 
United States; the regiments to constitute a brigade, and the Gov- 
ernor to appoint and commission a Brigadier General for the sarne ; 
the articles of war and the rules and regulations of the United States 
army to be observed, except that while in the service of the State 
the commissioned officers should only receive three-fourths the pay 
of officers of the same grade in the United States army; the Gov- 
ernor to have power, if in his judgement deemed advisable, to tem- 
porarily retire the force, or any part thereof, on half pay from active 
service, after they should have been sufficiently drilled and disci- 
plined, with authority at any time to recall the regiments to active 
duty, when required for the public safety. The act was approved 
and put in force on the 7th of May, and orders for the organization 
of the force were immediately issued. The regiments were desig- 
nated and camps of rendezvous established as follows : 

Twelfth Regiment, Camp Morton, Indianapolis. 

Thirteenth Regiment, Camp Sullivan, Indianapolis. 

Fourteenth Regiment, Camp Vigo, Terre Haute. 

Fifteenth Regiment, Camp Tippecanoe, Lafayette. 

Sixteenth Regiment, Camp Wayne, Richmond. 

Seventeenth Regiment, Camp Morton, Indianapolis. 

Colonel Joseph J. Reynolds, of the Tenth Regiment, (three 
months' service,) then in command of Camp Morton, was appointed 
Brigadier General by the Governor, and charged with the organi- 
zation of the regiments. On the 11th of May the Adjutant General 
reported five regiments as having the full complement of men, 
to-wit: the Twelfth, Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth and Six- 
teenth, with a surplus of six companies in camp from which, with 
new enlistments, the Seventeenth Regiment w^as subsequently 
formed.

The President iti liic meantime, as was anticipated by the Gov- 
ernor, having called* for an additional volunteer force, requisition 
was made on the Slate l)y the Secretary of War, under date May 
16th, for four regiments of volunteers to serve for three years or 
during the war. This call afibrdcd the Governor the opportunity 
to relieve the State of a portion of the burden incident to main- 
taining the six regiments already nearly ready for the field, and 
accordingly, on the 2ist of May, orders were issued transferring 
three of the regiments formed for State service under the Six Reg- 
iment bill to the United States' service, and authorizing the organ- 
ization of an additional regiujent (the Seventeenth) out of the 
companies in Cam]) Morton, not mustered into any service, and from 
such other companies as had been tendered, in their order, leaving 
two regiments in the State service. 

The question of entering the United States service for three 
years was at once submitted to the State regiments. The 'I'hir- 
teenth. Fourteenth, Fifteenth and Seventeenth regiments promptly 
accepted the proposition, except a few hundred, who declined to 
volunteer for three years, and who were at once discharged. These 
regiments were mustered into the United States' service and 
marched for Western Virginia, as follows:

Volunteers on the 10th of May, 1861. Sketches of their services, 
during the war, will be found in the second volume of this Report 

The Twelfth and Sixteenth Regiments remained in the State 
service until the 18th of July, when the Governor procured an 
order from the President accepting them into the servic(^ of the 
United States for the unexpired portion of their twelve months' en- 
listment, with the agreement that the General Government should 
assume all expenses and charges paid by the State on their account. 
The Twelfth was stationed at Evansville; the Sixteenth at Rich-

nioad. They were formally transferred to the United States on 
the 2od of July, and immediately left for the Potomac, joining the 
forces under General Banks, at Pleasant Valley, Maryland. The 
second volume contains historical sketches of their services and 
subsequent re-organization for three years additional service. 



RAISING AND ORGANIZING VOLUNTEERS. 

The reader of this Report has already been informed of the re- 
cruitment of six regiments of three months' troops, and of six regi- 
iments of State troops, afterwards transferred to the general service 
of the United States. It now remains to follow up the plans and 
efforts made by the Executive of Indiana to further increase the 
army by the recruitment of additional forces. 

Previous to the return of the three months' troops from the 
Western Virginia campaign. Governor MoktOxN dispatched mes- 
sengers to all the regimental commanders with letters urging them 
to reenlist, after remaining a reasonable time at their homes, for 
three years. The regiments returned the latter part of July, and 
after being paid and mustered out, arrangements were made to 
reorganize them with the least possible delay. This was accom- 
plished in a very short time under the auspices and direction of 
their former Colonels. 

Other calls had in the meantime been made, and were in progress 
of being filled. To give them in detail here would greatly encum- 
ber this sketch ; reference is therefore made to the tabular statement 
in the Appendix marked Document No. 12. 

Indiana, as will be more fully shown under other heads in this 
report, never flagged in her efforts to raise men and fill the ranks of 
her regiments and batteries in the field. If there was any distin- 
guishing characteristic of Governor Morton's administration, it 
was a desire, determination and ability to recruit troops. Ever 
alive to the importance of repairing the waste and ravages of battle 
and of disease, he regarded it to be his foremost duty to place 
every able-bodied man, or as many as the wants of the Govern- 
ment demanded, at its disposal. The crowning wish of the Gover- 
nor, as well as of the people, was that the armies, however large 
they might be required, should be raised by voluntary enlistments. 



PLAN OP KKORriTINa. 15 

Not only were the great forecs, whieii the Government pul into the 
field at the beginning of tlie contest, composed entirely of volun- 
lecrsj but the ranks were kept fnll from the same element, and — 
with the exception of a few men drafted in October, 1862,* on \hr 
ground of equalizing- the burthens in localities in arrears — no 
other resource was resorted to than volunteering in Indiana, until 
after three years and-a-half of war. And even then, the number put 
into the field by conscription was comparatively small, and the war 
was closed, mainly, as it was begun, by volunteers. This was one 
of its great peculiarities — it was fought, and brought to a successful 
termination, by men who chose to defend their country of their 
own accord. 

In these annals of^vliat Indiana did in the ivar, it is but just t<» 
future times and to the great history hereafter to be written, that 
the/ac^5, as they occurred, should be permantly recorded. It is not 
invidious to say that no State was more prompt, in furnishing 
troops, than Indiana. Call after call was made; our men were 
among the iirst to respond, and it is a gratifying truth that no de- 
mand made upon the State was ever evaded or delayed. Not only 
were the small contingents in the early part of the war furnished, 
or anticipated, but the large calls — made after the magnitude of 
the contest was more clearly seen — were always met with a quick 
response. No complaints were ever made by the State author- 
ities that the calls were too frequent or too large — though a feel- 
ing sprung up that other States were doing less than their share of 
the work. Being terribly in earnest in the prosecution of the war, 
(Tovernor Morton repeatedly urged the necessity of making our 
forces overwhelming, and no effort was spared to furnish the last 
man demanded. This earnestness at the head of the State govern- 
ment was contagious, and a large majority of the people were not 
only united in urging a vigorous prosecution of the war, but their 
best efforts were exerted to make it vigorous, and the soldiers who 
went steadily forward carried with them an enthusiastic determin- 
ation to bring the struggle to a speedy close. The spirit, and 
valor, and victories of our heroes at the front, in turn, reaclcd upon 
the people, and recruiting was greatly stimulated by the fame 
v/hich the earlier troops acquired by their splendid services in tlie 
lield.

16 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

The manner in which this great work of recruiting was carried 
on in Indiana must be briefly explained. 

Upon receipt of a call from the President, the Governor's plan 
was to issue a proclamation, stating the requisition made for addi- 
tional troops, and call upon the citizens to fill it at once. 
He always endeavored to get' the influential men in every 
neighborhood enlisted in the work. Meetings were held, patriotic 
and stirring speeches were made, and regularly commissioned 
recruiting officers were induced to zealously exert themselves every- 
where. Under nearly all, if not all, the calls, new regiments were 
organized. For facilitating organization, camps of rendezvous 
were established in each Congressional District, and commandants 
quartermasters, adjutants, and examining surgeons, were ap|)ointed 
to superintend and press forward raj)id organization. These indis- 
pensable oflicers were selected from the men of the district, of in- 
fluential character, who were especially qualified by energy and 
capacity for organization, as well as being conspicuous for their 
local popularity. Commissions were then issued to one man for 
each company to be raised, with pay for the service; jjernianent 
commissions in the organization being conditional upon success 
in enlisting recruits. Local committees were formed in each town- 
ship ; and, after the first year of the war, local bounties were very 
generally offered by the counties and townships. A very large 
proportion of the troops furnished by Indiana, however, originally 
enlisted without any bounty further than that allowed by the Gen- 
eral Government. Recruits were in all cases allowed their choice 
as to the regiment in which they preferred to serve, though the 
larger portion of them always selected the new regiments of their 
own districts. 

RECRUITING THK FIRST YEAR, 

In this year were raised the six regiments of three months' 
troops, six regiments of State troops, afterwards transferred to the 
United Sates' service ; the three months' regiments were re-organ- 
ized for the three years' service; the Infantry regiments up to the 
Fifty-ninth, were recruited, and portions of some others; three 
regiments of Cavalry and twelve batteries of Artillery were put in 
the field. These organizations were recruited with the greatest 
ease. For a long time, more comj^anies were offered than the 
Governor was authorized to accept, and, as most of the commands 



SURSKQUENT CATJ.S. 17 

wci-e recruitocl under special authority from the War Department, 
(not being raised to fill a quota under any formal call,) the ne\\\s 
that another regiment, or two more, or three more, or ten more, 
was accepted and hailed with delight, and it was only necessary io 
make selections from the companies tendered, to complete the 
organizations at once. As the war progressed, and the people 
learned of the long and toilsome marches the service required, 
there was a strong jireference manifested for Cavalry and Artillery 
organizations, but in ISHl, this was not the case, and if any arm 
of the service was more in favor than any other, it was the In- 
fantry. General Scott jxjsitiveiy discouraged the enlistment of 
Cavalry, and it was thought that the "regular" batteries of 
*' flying" artillery would be sullicient for all emergencies. 

It is worthy of rema,rk that most of the organizations which 
entered the service during this year re-enlisted, as their terms ol' 
service were about to expire, and remained in the field until th(; 
close of the war, having a part not only in the first victories wdiich 
thrilled the Nation, but in the final surrender of the rebel armies 
which gave it Peace. And there can be no doubt that these early 
volunteers, by their gallantry, not only greatly stimulated all sub- 
sequent recruitment, but, through their long experience as veteran 
soldiers, excited the zeal and influenced the discipline and efficiency 
of all later organizations to an almost immeasurable extent. 

s u li s r: r k n t r a i, i, s . 

The winter of 1861-2, was severe, and the unavoidable suffer- 
ings of the troops in the field, owing to the want of preparation on 
the part of the Government to furnish the necessary comforts for a 
winter campaign — added to the unfavorable nature of the season 
itself — greatly retarded enlistments, and for a time they almost 
ceased. The efforts of the Governor and State authorities were 
not relaxed however, and several fine regiments were organized 
and put into the field before spring. The victories of Mill Sjirings, 
in January, Fort Donalson in February, and Shiloh in April, had a 
marked effect upon the public uiind, and, as the overthrow of the 
rebellion seemed near at hand, there were indications that as soon 
as the spring should fairly open, enlistments would again be large; 
v.'hen suddenly an order w^as received from the War De|)artment to 
stop recruiting entirely. This was a most unfortunate step, but 
all efforts to have the order recalled were imavailing, though the 
Vol. 1.— 3. 



18 ADJUTANT general's REPORT, 

dangers that thickly beset us did not allow the entire suspension of 
recruiting. It was not until the call of July, after the defeats in 
front of Richmond, that systematic and energetic measures were 
permitted to raise a large force. This call came at a most un- 
fortunate time. Our armies had, in some degree, lost their prestige. 
They had not only been defeated but out-generaled, which humili- 
ated and discouraged the troops in the field, and materially de- 
tracted from that enthusiasm which was so needful to encourage 
recruiting at home. Then, the season of the year was unfavora- 
ble; the farmers being employed in harvesting, and every body 
busily engaged. Still the Governor went promptly and energet- 
ically to work; camps were formed, commandants appointed, re- 
cruiting lieutenants commissioned, and the whole machinery put 
in motion. The results at first were not encouraging. Recruiting 
dragged for a time, but the invasion of Kentucky by Kirby Smith 
and the threatened draft under the call of August, were sufficient 
to bring out the latent resources of the State. How grandly and 
promptly the response was made will be described hereafter.* All 
quotas were more than filled, and the encouragement the Govern- 
ment gave, by the adoption of a really vigorous policy in the con- 
duct of the war, restored confidence and created the greatest en- 
thusiasm. 

The first call in 1863, was in June, for six months' regiments of 
militia. Four regiments were raised in Indiana, and sent to East 
Tennessee. Then came the call of October 17, 1863, for three hun- 
dred thousand men ; followed in February and March, 1864, by 
c!\lls aggregating four hundred thousand more. The quotas as- 
signed to Indiana under these calls were all filled without resorting 
to a draft. The " Hundred Days' Movement" followed, and then 
came the call of July 18, 1864, for five hundred thousand men, fol- 
lowed in December by another call, the last of the war, for three 
hundred thousand. These latter calls were filled partially by draft, 
but mainly by volunteers, as will hereafter be more particularly 
related. 

CONDUCT OF THE WAR. 

I will not repeat here the facts so often stated in the Report, 
which show the anxiety and determination of Governor Morton 
that Indiana should do her whole duty in the war. He was ever

CONDUCT OF THE WAR, 19 

vigilant, energetic, expedient. He could not, and did not, wait tin- 
slow and cumbrous movements of the authorities at Washington — 
even of Mr. Lincoln himself — to make our armies so strong as to 
be at once successful, overwhelming. He devised plans of his own, 
and suggested, urged and pleaded with the Government for the 
adoption of a more vigorous war policy, and always in favor of en- 
larging and strengthening, by every possible means, the forces in 
the field. And often, when it seemed that the Government, by 
hesitation, inaction and delay, was on the point of sacrificing, or 
allowing to be sacrificed, the objects of the war by permitting great 
advantages to be seized by the rebels, the Governor took gi-ave and 
weighty responsibilities on himself, determined that no fault of his, 
or of his State, should add to the chances of disaster or defeat. 
Believing in the correctness of his own views with regard to the 
perils of the situation, despite the hamperings and objections that 
continually trammelled him, he often raised troops in advance of 
any call, and on many occasions made offers, when none were de- 
manded, and though his efforts and offers were sometimes criti- 
cized severely, in no single instance did he have to take a backward 
step. The troops were always needed and were always most ac- 
ceptable, but the foresight that provided them, and the pressure 
that attempted to secure their acceptance, did not always receive 
the appreciation they deserved until the contingencies or misfor- 
tunes they were intended to anticipate, or prevent, had aclually 
transpired. 

His views on the conduct of the war were frequently and freely 
expressed to the President, and carried with them gi'cat force. The 
following letter possesses historical interest : 

Metropolitan Hotel, Washington, October 7, 1SG2. 
His Excellency Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States: 

Deau Sir : I could not leave the city without addressing you this note, and my 
intense solicitude for the success of our cause must be my apology. 

In my opinion, if our arms do not make great progress within the next ^^ixty 
days, our cause will be almost lost. Our financial system must speedily end. The 
(Tovernment may subsist for a time upon issues of an irredeemable paper currency, 
which the law has made a legal tender, but the time will come when the people will 
refuse to sell their commodities and receive this currency in payment, and when 
t!iis occurs, financial embarrassment and ruin will overwhelm the country. The 
system may collapse in a single day, and should it occur before the termination of 
the war, will of itself, be sufficient to end it against us. National and individu: 1 
bankruptcy would be followed by public despair, and the war would be abandoned 
by common consent. The danger of foreign intervention is daily increasing. The

they require to achieve victoiy is, th.at they be led v;itli energy and discre- 
tion. The cold professional leader, whose heart is not in tiie cause, and who i-egards 
it as only a professional job, and -whose rank and importance would be greatly 
diminished by the conclusion of the war, will not succeed in a contest like this. 1 
would rely with infinitely more confidence upon the man of strong intellect, whose 
Iiead is inspired by his heart, Avho believes that our cause is sacred, and that he is 
fighting for all that is dear to him and his country, although he be unlearned in 
military science, than upon the cold and ])olished professional soldiei-, whose sympa- 
thies, if he have any, are most likely on the other side. It is my solemn conviction 
lliat we will never succeed until the leadership of our armies is placed In the hands 
of men who are greatly in earnest, and who are profoundly convinced of the justice 
(if our cause. Let me beg of you, sir, as I am your friend, a friend of your admln- 
I-itration, and the friend of our unfortunate and unhappy country, that you will at 
once take up the consideration of this subject, and act upon the inspiration of youi- 
own heart and the dictates of your own judgment. Another three months like the 
last six and we are lost — lost. We can not afford to experiment a single day longer 
with men wlio have failed continuously for a whole year, who, v/ith the best ap- 
pointed armies, have done nothing; have thrown away the greatest advantages; 
evacuated whole States, and retreated for hundreds of miles before an inferior 
enemy. To try them longer, trusting tliat they may yet do something, it seems to 
me, would be imperiling the life of the nation. You have Generals in your armies 
who have displayed ability, energy and willingness to fight and conquer the enemy. 
Place them in command, and reject the wicked Incapables wliom you have paiienlly 
tried and tbund utterly wanting.

It will b(? remembered that in 1862, the conntry was greatly agi- 
tated by tlie proposition to solve the questions involved in the war 
Jby dividing up the States and territories of the Union; and a for- 
midable and mischievous movement was made in favor of the 
establishment of a new confederacy, to be composed of the North- 
Western States. The strong argument urged, and which hiul 
great weight with the people, was th;it those States in their social. 
commercial and political relations were indivisably bound to the 
South, as against New England, and especially that the nndis- 
turbed and undisputed right to navigate the Mississippi, was vital 
to the future prosperity and glory of this section of the country. 
Of course, to make the project of a North- Western Confederacy 
plausible, it was assumed that tlie States in rebellion could never 
be conquered, and that the Uiiion to all intents and purposes was

and form a new one — a Northwestern Confederacy, as a preparatory step to their 
annexation to the government of the South ? This latter project is the programme, 
and has been for the last twelve months. During the recent campaign it was the 
staple of every democratic speech, that we had no interests or sympathies In common 
with the people of the Northern and Eastern States; that New England is fattening 
at our expense ; that the people of New England ai-e cold, selfisli, money-making, 
and, through the medium of tariffs and railroads, are pressing us to the dust ; lliai 
geographically these States are a part of the Mississippi valley, and, in their political 
associations and destiny, can not be separated from the other States of that valley ; that 
socially and commercially their sympathies and interests are with those of tlie people 
of the Southern States rather than with the people of the North and East ; that the 
Mississippi river is the great artery and outlet of all Western commerce ; that llu' 
])eople of the Northwest can never consent to be separated politically from the peoplv 
who control the mouth of that river ; that this war has been forced upon the South 
tor the purpose of abolishing slavery, and that the South had offered reasonable and 
propercompromises,which,If they had been accepted, would have avoided the war. In 
some of these arguments there is much truth. Our geographical and social rela- 
tions are not to be denied ; but the most potent appeal is that connected with the 
free navigation and control of the Mississippi i-Iver. The importance of that river 
to the trade and commerce of the Northwest is so patent as to impress itself with 
great force upon the most ignorant minds, and requires only to be stated to be at 
iince understood and accepted And I give It here as my deliberate judgment 
that should the misfortune of our arms, or other causes, compel us to the abandon- 
ment of this war and the concession of the independence of the rebel States, that 
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois can only be prevented, if at all, irom a new act of seces- 
sion and annexation to those States, by a bloody and desolating civil war. Tlie 
South would have the prestige of success, the commerce of the world would be 
opened to feed and furnish her armies, and she would contend for every foot of 
hind west of the AUeghenics, and in tlie struggle would be supported by a powerful 
party in these States. 

''If the States vt'hich have already seceded should succeed in their rebellion, our 
I'iibrts must then be directed to the preservation of what is left ; to maintaining in 
the Union those States which are termed loval. and the retention of the territories

of tlie West. May God grant that this contingency shall never happen, but it 
becomes us as men to look it boldly in the face. Let us take security against it if 
possible, especially when by so doing we shall be pursuing the surest mode for 
cru'dungout the rebellion in every part and restoring the Union to its former limits. 
The plan which I have to suggest is the complete clearing out of all obstacles to the 
navigation of the Mississippi river and the thorough conquest of the States upon the 
western bank. Between the State of Missouri and the Gulf of Mexico on the 
western bank are the States of Arkansas and Louisiana. Arkansas has a population 
of about 325,000 white citizens and 111,000 slaves, and a very large per centage of 
her white population are in the rebel army and serving east of the Mississippi. Of 
(lie lighting population of Western Louisiana not less than fifty per cent, are in the 
rebel army and in service east of the river. The river once in our possession and 
occupied by our gunboats can never be crossed by a rebel army, and the fighting 
men now without those States could not get back to their relief To make the con- 
ijuest of those States thorough and complete your proclamation should be executed 
ill every county and every township and upon every plantation. All this can be 
done in less than ninetj' days with an army of less than 100,000 men. Texas would 
tlien be entirely isolated from the rebel Confederacy, and would readily f^dl into 
our hands. She has undoubtedly a large Union element in her population, and with 
her complete separation from the people of the other rebel States, could make but 
tVeble resistence. When this shall have been accomplished, a glance at the map 
will show what immense advantages will have been obtained. Tiie remaining rebel 
States, separated by the river, would be cut off effectually from all the territories 
and from the States of Mexico. The dangers to be apprehended from the French 
aggressions in Mexico would be avoided. The entire western part of the continent 
now belonging to the Government would be secured to us, and all communication 
between the rebel States and the States on the Pacific entirely stopped. The work 
of conquest in Arkansas and Louisiana would be easy and certain, and the presence 
of our gunboats in the river would effetually prevent any large force from coming 
from the east to the relief of these States. The complete emancipation which could 
and should be made of all the slaves in Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas would place 
the possession of those States on a very different footing from any other rebel 
territory which we have heretofore overrun. 

" But another result, to be gained by the accomplishment of this plan, will be the 
creation of a guaranty against the further depreciation of the loyalty of the North- 
western States by giving the assurance that, whatever may be the result of the war, 
the free navigation and control of the Mississippi river will be secured at all events. 
" With high regard, I have the honor to be, 
" Very respectfully, 

" Your obedient servant, 

" Oliver P. Mouton." 

The following letter, selected from a great number on the same 
subject, forcibly expresses the Governor's views with regard to a 
vigorous prosecution of the war : 



OVERWHELMING FORCE RECOMMENDED. 23 

EXECUTIVIC DeI'AUTMKNT. 

Indianapolis, January 18, 18G4. 
His Excellency, Abraham Lincoln, 

President of the United States : 

Siu — Considerations of the most vital character demand that the war should be 
juibstantially ended within tlic present year. 

The truth of this proposition need not be enforced by argument, because it is 
apparent to every intelligent mind. I therefore respectfully but earnestly urge the 
necessity of immediately calling for all the men that may be required to bring the 
war to a safe and speedy termination. 

If doubts are entertaiaed that a sufficient number of men will not be procured 
under the last call, let another be made immediately, and my belief is that the 
Nation will respond and by a mighty effort promptly raise our armies to the re" 
<]uired strength. It is much better to make the estimate too large than too small, 
and it is much safer to overjxiwer the enemy by numbers than merely to be his 
«;qual and rely for success upon the skill of Generals and the chances of battle. 

I am also apprehensive that we shall be surprised in the spring by the nuvnbers 
and strength of the enemy. A terrible conscription is putting almost the entire 
male population of the rebel States in the army, and we shall find beyond all 
question that their forces have been greatly increased. If another call for troops 
should become necessary, and be postponed until next spring or summer, it would 
lake months to get them into the field. The Nation would be greatly disheartened 
the continuance of the war be indefinitely prolonged, and our finances deeply and 
almost fataly depressed. 

Men can be more easily raised now than at any future time. It is the winter 
season when the agricultural population is to a great extent unemployd, and will 
enter the army far more readily than after farming operations are resumed in the 
spring. Nothing would so much weaken the administration or repress the ardor of 
the people as the apprehension that our armies are inadequate to the speedy sup- 
pression of the rebellion, and that another call for troops will be necessary at a 
future time. If the war can be ended sooner, by largely increasing our forces, the 
!-ooner our forces will be disbanded, and the immense drain upon the treasury sus- 
pended, which is becoming the terror of all intelligent minds. The leaders of the 
rebellion are making a last and mighty effort to retrieve their desperate fortunes. 
Let them be met with mightier effort by the Nation, which shall certainly over- 
whelm them with inevitable ruin. 

Very respectfully, 

Your obedient servant, 

OlIVEU r. MOUTOX. 

VETERAN R E - E X 1. 1 S T M E N T S . 

The system of accepting men for short terms of enlistment, at 
the beginning of the war, proved to be most unfortunate. If the 
term of service had been uniformally fixed for " during the war,' 



24 ADJUTANT GEXERAl's REPORT, 

the enthusiastic loyalists of the country would have rushed to the 
support of the national standard with the same impetuosity as they 
did when they were called upon to serve only three months. In 
stating tiie truth — that the rebellion was not "put down in ninety 
days ;'' tliat the Union forces did not encircle it and crusli it, "like 
an anaconda," within the cycle allotted by the war-worn and bal tie- 
scarred chieftain who made the prediction — no reflection is cast 
upon those who sincerely entertained such views in the early day.s 
of the war. War was a new thing to the authorities, as well as to 
the masses ; and it was only after the disaster of " Bull Run " that 
a realizing sense of the inefficiency and weakness of the North, and 
the determined spirit of the South, broke in upon the minds of the 
true adherents of the Government. Bluster, which previously 
formed so large a part of the war-stock of the North, speedily 
vanished, and the stern necessity of requiring every man who could 
"lift a pound," as the Westernism is, or "^put a shoulder to the 
wheel " — cither by personal service or influence — became painfully 
apparent. By seizing iijdefensible forts, arsenals, mints and posts; 
by robbing paymasters and confiscating debts due northern mer- 
chants; by "lynching" every man and scourging every family that 
expressed even a lingering aftection for the "Old Flag;" by cor- 
rupting tlie old army and winning many accomplished officers 
TO the side of treason ; by putting forth bloviating pronnncia7nentos^ 
in which the unity, courage and " high-toned chivalry" of the South 
were glowingly depicted, and the divisions, cowardice and mean- 
ness of the North drawn in free and florid colors— the rebels, for a 
time, gained largely in coiffidence, if not in strength. Our "suc- 
cess," so-called, in the West Virginia campaign, in which a few 
Indiana and Ohio regiments skirmished on several occasions with 
about an equal force of the enemy, had more than upset the confi- 
dent assurance of the rebels, and the general feeling prevailed that 
the war was about over and the Union saved. The disaster of 
Bull Run, however, dispelled the hallucination. The rebellion 
proved itself to be a formidable reality, notwithstanding the {)re- 
dictions of leading statesmen and warriors that it would break 
down of its own weakness before it could fairly straighten itself 
upon its legs and make a "show of fight." 

Then came calls for more troops, though timidity and gingerly 
made. Six months' men, one year men, and three years" men were 
accepted; but the War Governors and the people of the West were 



RECUC'rf[N(T' STOI'PFD. 'iD 

tar in advance of the (Tovevuinent, and so great was the pressure to 
get their regiments accepted, the autliorities at Washington had a 
warm fight of it to keep back the forces that were tendered. Tlie 
plea was, tliat uniforms and the necessary paraphernalia could not 
be fnrnished ; that quotas were filled already ; or that the State had 
already been permitted to st>nd forward more than its proportion 
(W' the men required; and the hint was dropped, more than once, 
that the conciliating influences of generalship and strategy wer(^ 
sufficient to bring the "insurrection" to an end, with less blood- 
shed, less expense, and in a more congenial way than could be don(" 
by tlje rampageous policy advocated by the sanguinary-minded 
(Tovernoi's and people of the West. As the war progressed, or 
rather lingered, calls for more men came, day by day, and it is 
hardly necessary to repeat here what Indiana's response always 
was to the demands made uyion iier. In the spring of 186'2 recruit- 
ing was stopped short and square; the regiments then being raised 
were consolidated, and the opinion seemed to prevail that the 
strength of the army was entirely adequate to put a sure and sud- 
den end to the war. Soon, however. Banks, with his army, came 
whirling out of the Shenandoah Valley, defeated and demoralized; 
the National Capital was believed to be in danger, and new and 
nervous calls were again made upon the States. 

In the gloomy days of 1863, the Government, and in fact every 
patriotic supporter of it, began to realize the great want of more 
soldiers. Congress passed the conscription act in March, providing 
fqr the enrollment, and draft, if necessary, of all arms-bearing citi- 
zens. This was a grand stroke, but it ought to have been done a 
year and a half before; this, however, nobody knew, until the pro- 
gress of events demonstrated tjie necessity. But the conscription 
act did not fill the measure of the Nation's needs. It was cumbrous, 
unpopular, and required time to put it in practical execution. 
Meantime, the discovery was made that the large army of three 
years' men, and notwithstanding the new voluntears and conscripts 
tliat might be obtained, there was still danger that the rebellion 
would not be suppressed ; and the chances were that the war 
would be indefinitely protracted. The three years' regiments ot 
1861 were the bulwark and pride of the army. They had fought 
all over Northern Virginia, in Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, 
Tennessee and Kentucky, and their experience, hardihood and 
valor won the respect and admiration of all loyal men. But they 



26 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

were only enlisted for three years, and there was no prospect that 
the war would end within that time. Foreign governments were 
ogleing with the South, and giving fresh encouragement to the re- 
bellion. The confidence in the ability of the North to conquer, 
weakened as the South strengthened ; even our own people 
became divided among themselves, and the loyal cause lost im- 
mensely in that way. Treasonable organizations sprang up in our 
own mid.st ; deserters flocked home ; rebel raids upon our soil be- 
came frequent, and doubts entered the minds of the stoutest and 
bravest as to the final result. 

Governor Morton conferred frequently and freely with the 
President and Secretary of War, and never failed to advocate the 
most energetic policy in regard to prosecuting the war. He never 
lost his self-possession, his confidence in ultimate success, or in the 
least abated his zeal. His views in reference to incompetent and 
procrastinating generals, and the importance to the North- West of 
opening up the Mississippi, have already been quoted. His lead- 
ing idea was that the rebellion could be put down, but only by an 
Qvervvhelming force under the leadership of men who were alive to 
the perils that beset the country, and were earnestly intent upon 
avoiding them by achieving substantial and crushing victories. 
On the 7th of May, 1863, he telegraphed President Lincoln, 
Seeaetary Stanton and Secretary Chase, recommending the en- 
forcement of the conscription act, largely and fully, and that all 
available force, both land and naval, be at once concentrated to 
open the Mississippi, that being, in his judgment, the vital point. 
By personal visits to Washington, and frequent suggestions by 
letter and telegram, he continually pressed his views upon the 
Government, and there is abundant evidence that these efforts had 
important, if not controlling, influence upon the conduct of the war. 

The War Department was at length thoroughly awakened to 
the importance of strengthening the army by the re-enlistment of 
veterans, and on the 25th of June, 1863, promulgated an order de- 
tailing a carefully prepared system, and offering such inducements 
as it was thought would be sufficient to retain most of the old 

troops in the field. The following is the order referred to : 

War Department, Adjutant General's Office, 
Washington, June 25, 1863. 
General Orders, No. 191. 

FOR recruiting VETERAN VOLUNTEERS. 

In order to increase the armies now in the field, volunteer infantry, cavalry, 
and artillery may be enlisted at any time within ninety days from this date, in the 



RE-ENLISTiMENT OF VETERANS. 27 

respective States, under the regulations hereinafter mentioned. The volunteers so 
enlisted and such of the three years' troops now in the field as may re-enlist in ac- 
cordance with the provisions of this order, will constitute a force to be designated 
'' Veteran Volunteers." The regulations for enlisting this force are as follows : 

I. The period of service for the enlistments and re-enlistments above men- 
tioned shall be for three years or during the war. 

II. All able-bodied men, between the ages of eighteen and forty-five years, who 
have heretofore been enlisted, and have served for not less than nine months, and 
can pass the examination required by the mustering regulations, of the United 
States, may be enlisted under this order as Veteran Volunteers, in accordance with 
the provisions hereinafter set forth. 

III. Every volunteer enlisted and mustered into the service as a Veteran under 
this order shall be entitled to receive from the United States one month's pay in ad- 
vance, and a bounty and premium of four hundred and two dollars (6402). * * » 

IV. If the Government shall not require these troops for the full period of 
three years, and they shall be mustered honorably out of the service before the 
expiration of their term of enlistment, they shall receive, upon being mustered out, 
the whole amount of bounty remaining unpaid, the same as if the whole term had 
been served. The legal heirs of volunteers ivho die in the service shall be entitled 
to receive the whole bounty remaining unpaid at the time of the soldier's death. 

V. Veteran volunteers enlisted under this order will be permitted at their 
option to enter old regiments now in the field ; but their service will be continued 
for the full term of their own enlistment, notwithstanding the expiration of the 
term for which the regiment was originally enlisted. New organizations will be 
officered only by persons who have been in the service, and have shown themselves 
properly qualified for command. As a badge of honorable distinction, "service 
chevrons " will be furnished by the War Department, to be worn by the Veteran 
Volunteers. 

VI. Officers of regiments whose terms have expired, will be authorized, on 
proper application, and approval of their respective Governors, to raise companies 
and regiments Avithin the period of sixty days ; and if the company or regiment 
authorized to be raised, shall be filled up and mustered into service within the said 
period of sixty days, the officers may be re-commissioned of the date of their 
original commissions, and for the time engaged in recruiting they will be entitled to 
receive the pay belonging to their rank. 

VII. Volunteers or militia now in the service, whose term of service will expire 
in ninety days, and who then shall have been in the service at least nine months, 
shall be entitled to the aforesaid bounty and premium of $402, provided they re-en- 
list, before the expiration of their present term, for three years or the war, and 
said bounty and said premium shall be paid in the manner herein provided for other 
troops re-entering the service. The new term will commence from the date of 
re-enlistment. 

VIII. After the expiration of ninety days from this date, volunteers serving in 
three years organizations, who may re-enlist for three years or the war, shall be 
entitled to the aforesaid bounty and premium of S402, to be paid in the manner 
herein provided for other troops re-entering the service. The new term will com" 
mence from the date of re-enlistment. 



28 ADJUTANT OKVKRAl/s PKPOl;T. 

IX. Officers in sorviee, wliose regiments or companies may rc-ciilisl. in acoonl- 
;ince with the provisions of this order, before the expiration ot" tlioir present term, 
shall have their commissions continued, so as to preserve tlieir date of rank as tixed 
by their original muster into the United States service. 

X. As soon after the expiration of their original tcriu of enlistment as the 
exigencies of the service will permit, a furlough of thirty days will be granted to 
men who may re-enlist in accordance with the provisions of this order. 

XI. Volunteers enlisted under this order will be credited as three years men on 
the ({uotas of their respective States. Instructions for die appointment of recruit- 
ing officers, and for enlisting Veteran Volunteers, will be immediately issued to the 
(rovernors of States. 

By order of the Secretary of War : 

E. D. Tow.N^iK.Ni), Assistant Adjutant General. 

This order was especially designed to secure the re-enlistment of 
iiiiie months' men, who entered the service under the call of August 
4, 1862, though it included all who had served nine months, as 
well as such men of the old commands as were at that time out of 
service. The result did not meet the expectation of the War De- 
partment, as but very few men were obtained; and on the 11th of 
September following, another order was issued, permitting the re- 
cmlistment of three years volunteers who had less than one year to 
serve, and granting them the $4:02 bounty and premium, as i)ro- 
vided for in the original order. Still the veterans did not show any 
strong disposition to avail themselves of this liberal proposition; 
the re-enlistments were very few, and fell far short of the public 
necessity. On the 19th of September, Governor Morton, in a let- 
ter to the Secretary of War*, stated that quite a number of the 
tirst regiments raised in this State were so much reduced as to have 
each less than one hundred and fifty effective men. He was con- 
vinced that the army could be strengthened more speedily by 
allowing one of these old regiments for each Congressional Dis- 
trict to come home and recruit and re-organize, than noon anv 
other plan. The influence of the old veterans upon their friends at 
home was all important, and the assitance they would receive from 
leading citizens would enable them to fill their depleted ranks witli 
certainty and of good material. 

Again, on the 7th of October, the Governor renewed his propo- 
sition in a somewhat more comprehensive form, by a telegram to 
the Provost Marshal General, as follows :

men wlio reenlist to be mustered out as if their first terms of enlistment had ex- 
pired ibr pi'ist service, and be paid the tour hundred and two dollars ($402 00) 
b nmty av.-ardcd to veteran volunteers for future service. This will place the regi- 
nxMits oi-ganized in 1861, as regards bounty, on the same footing as those organized 
in 1862, and it is believed the plan will take so few men from any one corps as mH 
niaterinriy to .veaken it. [Signed,] O. P. MoiiTox, 

" Governor of ludiaua." 

Ir, will be observed the Governor made it a point to require 
three-fourths of the old regiments to agree to re-enlist for three years 
before being sent home on furlough to recrnit. The reenlistmeni 
of veterans, under the orders of the War Department " hnng fire," 
and some otlier plan had to be resorted to. The country could not 
alford to lose the services of her brave veterans, and it was of the 
tirst importance that their ranks should be tilled up. After delib- 
erating nearly two weeks, General Halleck, then Commander-in- 
Chief of the Army, agreed* tliat Governor Morton might make 
requisition upon each General oflicer commanding a Department, 
in which Indiana troops were serving, for one non-commissioned 
oflicer or private from each company, to be selected by the regi- 
mental cormnander, to be sent home on recruiting service, and j.m-o- 
\idingthat if vacancies for commissioned ottices existed, the non- 
commissioned officers or privates should be entitled to promotion 
on recruiting the company to the minumum standard. If there 
were no vacancies of commissioned officers in any company, the 
commanding officer of the regiment, in his discretion, could detail 
one commissioned officer or one, enlisted man to recruit for each 
company. All were to report to the Governor. 

These details were promptly made from all the old Indiana regi- 
ments ; also from the old batteries. The recruiting ofHccrs were

30 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

assigned to duty by the Governor in the neighborhoods where their 
companies were originally raised. Several thousand recruits were 
obtained, and while many were thus enabled to secure the promo- 
tions which they had so long deserved, the old veterans in the field 
were greatly encouraged by having their ranks filled up with new 
men. 

The more important work, howe^"er, of reenlisting the old veterans 
in the filed, flagged, and it seemed the whole scheme would prove 
a failure. The general terms of the reenlistment and the amount 
of bounty offered were satisfactory enough, but the provision of 
granting furloughs of thirty days " as soon after the expiration of 
their original term of enlistment as the exigencies of the service will 
per?nit,'" was altogether distasteful. They placed but little confi- 
dence in such a promise ; it was too uncertain and too distant. To 
obviate this objection the War Department issued an order on the 
:21st of November, 1863, which authorized "a furlough of at least 
thirty days previous to the expiration of their original enlistment." 
This stipulation was to be entered upon the reenlistment rolls, and 
commanding Generals of armies and departments were required to 
see that the furloughs were granted and that the men were provided 
with transportation to their homes at the expense of the Govern- 
ment. These modifications were well received, and soon reenlist- 
ments began to be made in large numbers. To encourage the 
work. Governor Morton dispatched special agents to confer with 
the officers and men in the field, and to bring such influence to 
bear as would accomplish the desired result. Among the agents 
who undertook this work, the following deserve honorable mention 
for their valuable services: General John T. Wilder, Captain 
Heniiy B. Hill, Colonel Lawrence S. Suuler, Dr. Calvin J. 
Woods, and Simon T. Powell, Esq. All the Indiana military 
agents, and many of the Indiana general, field and line officers, 
took special interest in the matter and contributed largely in secur- 
ing rcenlistmenis. Liberal local bounties were paid by many local- 
ities. Altogether fully three-fourths of the men remaining in the 
regiments and batteries of 1861 reenlisted. Many more would have 
done so but for the opposition of some officers, who were afraid 
their commands might be broken up, and the inattention and 
neglect of mustering officers, which caused vexatious delays; and 
in some cases also, because of a lack of definite instructions and 
the non-arrival of proper blanks. These things, trifles though they 



VETERANS RE-ENI,ISTED, 31 

seem, created difeaffection and a feeling of uncertainty in the rnind.-^ 
of the men and materially lessened the number of reenlistments that 
otherwise might have been obtained. 

The troops commenced returning on furlough early in January 

1864, and continued to arrive, as they could be spared from the 
field, until each organization had been granted this privilege. They 
were received by the authorities and people with every demonstra- 
tion of respect and gratitude. An account of the public ovations 
that were tendered them, will be given hereafter.

RKCEPTiOX OF TROJi'S 

At the expiration of the term of service of tlie three tnonths' 
volunteers, Governor Morton inaugurated a system of receptions, 
\\ lii(;h was continued during the war and which gave much grati- 
lication to the '• 'oyal heart" of the j^eople, greatly encouraged the 
r(.>turning soldiers, and to n considerable extent stimulated recruit- 
ing. These receptions were announced and the time fixed a day 
i)eforehand; a public dinner was prepared, after which the regi- 
ment or battery to be received was escorted with appropriate 
inTiSic, amidst the firing of cannou, to the Capitol grounds, or, if 
liic vvcather was inclement, to a public hall, wdiere addresses of 
v/elcome and congratulatiosi were delivered by the Governor and 
others, on the part of the people of the State, which v^-ere usually 
responded to by the commanding ofiicer of the organization and 
other officers of the command. The Governor's address included 
a short military history of the sevices of the regiment or bai;terv, 
ils campaigns, marches and engagements. 

These reception dinners and meetings were ahvays enlivened bv 
Ihc presence of a goodly delegation of the fair ladies of Indian- 
apolis, who were gratified to wait on the gallant soldiers at table, 
and with them participate in the joyous re-unions which followed. 
At dinner excellent music by a full band gave animation to the re- 
past, as well as on the march to the place of reception and during 
the exercises at the stand. Frequently the occasion was enlivened 
by patriotic and humorous songs, by singing clubs and individuals, 
greatly to the amusement and gratification of all in attendance. 

Every regiment and battery, upon its return to the State, wa.-* 
iionored wiih a reception, such as has been described; the hospi-- 
talities and thanks of the State were tendered in a lavish and 
hearty manner by the authorities, aided ahvays by the patriotic 
citizens, and especially the ladies of Indianapolis; and the happy 
effect and feeling thus produced and inspired among the soldiers, 
were pleasurable features of the war, and were attended v.ith the

best results on the morale of the troops* The establislimentof the 
Soldiers' Home and Rest enabled the authorities to furnish several 
regiments at once with a most excellent dinner, while the fair 
attendants and the soul-stirving music added charms to the occa- 
sion that could not fail to be appreciated by the brave men, just 
from ''the front," who had long been deprived of the comforts and 
graces which abound in tlie abodes of paace. The inliaence of 
these receptions was salutary and cheering, and the weary, war' 
worn veterans, in the enthusiasm with which they were welcomed, 
felt that their many toilsome marches and hard-fought battles were 
amply recompensed by the kind and hearty appreciation of their 
friends at home. 

The re-enlisted Indiana veterans, of whom tbicre were over twelve 
thousand, were granted furloughs for thirty days upon re«eniisting, 
or as soon thereafter as their services could be spared, P^Iost of 
them were in the South, under Grant and Sherman, and returned 
by way of Jc-U'ersonville, where a large hall was fitted up for their 
temporary accommodation, well warmed, seated and liglited ; and 
at all hours hot cotl'ee and a substantial luncheon were ready for 
all who chose to partake. This arrangement was a real relief 
to the many thousand soldiers, not only from Indiana, but from all 
the Northern States, who returned on veteran furloughs during the 
severe winter of 1863--4, and the Governor could not probably have 
devised anything for their comfort and relief which would have 
given more satisfaction than the refreshment rooms at JelTerson- 
ville. 

At Indianapolis, the returning troops were met at the depot by a 
messenger, who at once conducted them to the spacious " Hom(>,'' 
where ccrnifortable quarters and a "good square meal," smoking 
hot, was sure to await them. Half an hour was ample time, with 
the splendid facilities for cooking at the " Home," to prepare an 
exci'llent meal — in which pastry, condiments, and vegetables were 
eons|ncuous — for a full regiment, and as the time of arrival of 
troops was usually telegraphed in advance, delays in the prepara- 
tion of relreshxxients were of rare occurrence. The j)erfection to 
which all these arrangements were brought in the course of the 
war was attested by thousands of soldiers, and reflected the highest 
credii on all concerned. In fact, too much can not be said of the 
muniiicnt liberality which characterized all these efforts, or of the 



ONE nrsDRKi) days' troops. 85 

generous disposition of the loyal peopl(« of the State, who never, 
for a moment, withheld the means to administer to the wants, 
comforts and iieeessities of onr soldiers. 

The good feeling created by these receptions was notioeable on 
all occasions. The men went to their homes, after long absence, 
in good heart, with animated spirits, and were thus greatly en- 
couraged in the patriotic work in which they were engaged. They 
liad not been forgotten; their Governor and the "brave at home,"' 
were not unmindful of their comfort or their interests; their families 
had been tenderly cared for in their absence, and everything con- 
spired to make them contented and joyous. The result was that 
our veteran regiments were greatly strengthened by new recruits 
who flocked to the old standards by hundreds, encomMged by the 
lionors tliat were so freely and heartily showered upon those who 
had pioneered in the glorious duty of saving their Government 
from the calamity of overthrow and dissolution. 

This brief notice would be incomplete without mentioning the 
very faithful and valuable services of the venerable Colonel James 
Blake, v^ho uniformly acted as Chief Marshal at all the receptions. 
To him, and likewise to the many ladies who lent the chatm of 
their presence, and generously attended the soldiers at the reception 
dinners, however inclement the weather, the thanks of the State 
authorities, and of the people of the State are due. 



ONE HUNDRED DAYS' TROOPS. 

The spring of 1864 opened with the prospecL of much desperate 
and bloody work before the armies of the East and South. It was 
urgently slated by Generals Grant and Sherman that every able- 
bodied soldier was imperatively needed. The grand Atlanta and 
Richmond campaigns were about to be commenced, and such 
general mc^asures taken as were believed would result in the over- 
throw of the rebellion. Indiana was relied ujion, with well- 
grounded confidence, and expected to put into play all her ener- 
gies to make the army crushingly powerful. The calls of February 
and March, requiring over thirty-seven thousand men had been 
filled in an ahuost incredible short time, and the troops were hur- 



36 ADJUTANT (iENEKAL'a P.EPORT. 

ried forward as rapidly as the means of the Government wonki 
admit. Tlie twelve thousand re-enlisted veterans, who had been 
granted a farlongh to their hom.es of thirty days, were promptly re- 
Tiirned to their place::- at the front, and vigorous and suceessful 
eti'orts were made to fill the ranks of all the old organizations. 
General Sherman, at this period, took care to impress upon Gov- 
ernor Morton the importance of having every man that could be 
raised, forwarded to his command with t[ie least possible delay. 
Gn the 6th of April, he telegraphed: 

'• The reason is advancing and no excuse can be entertained, such as waiting for 
more recruits. Tiiree hundred men in time, are better than a thousand too late- 
Now is t3)e time e%'ery soldier should be in his proper place — tlic I'ront." 

Again on the 23d, he telegraphed: 

" The force of ten thousand I sent up Red River was intended to fonai a pari of 
my force for the spring campaign, but Banks can not spare them and I will be 
short that number. We can not mount half the cavaby already in the service. Tf 
the new cavalry regiments will not serve as infantry, I see no prospect of using 
them except as dismounted cavalry, Avhich is the same thing. I tell you that it is 
impossible to arm and equip them this season, and even then we could not find 
horses where we arc going. Why not let me use tliem to guard my roads and re- 
lieve other guard troops to that extent? They v.ould be. none the worse cavalry 
tor a few months' service with muskets. I can put them in reserve where drill and 
instruction could go on quite as well as where they now are, and I can arm them as 
infantry. When horses and equipments come they can be mounted and equipped, 
and relieved as soon as furloughed regiments arrive, or as soon aa A. J. Smith'h 
command comes out of Red River." 

The Governor concurred fully with these views, and several of 
the new cavalry regituents were at once sent forward as infantry. 
This unexpected necessity was a great disappointment of course, 
but the men bore it cheerfully v^dien assurance was given them 
that their horses and carbines would speedily follow. General 
Sherman was much pleased with the uncomplaiiiiiig disposition of 
the troops, and on the od of May, sent this telegram to tiie 
Governor: 

" I am well satisfied at the despatch given to the now cavalry regiments, and 
will do all in my power to make them an honor to your State. I wish you would 
use your personal influence to content them with the fact, that all cavalry regiments 
should undergo preliminary instruction in infantry practice, before being entrusted 
with horses. The immense waste of fine cavalry horses in the past two years ig 
])roof of this." 

Yet, notwitlistanding the gigantic efforts that were made, it had 
been for some time clearly apparent to Governor Morton that 



HEAR GUARDS KKLTKVED. 37 

enough men to mnice ii splendid army would bo compelled to 
remniti guarding railroads, depots oi' public, stores, and fortitiea- 
tions in the rear of the advancing armies — and it was further evi- 
dent tjiat if thi.'se men, who were trained soldii'rs, could be relieved of 
guard duty and placed in the advance the chances of success would 
be greatly increased. How this great desideratum could be brought 
about was then an important and perhaps a vital question. The 
quotas having been filled, recruiting for the three years service 
lapsed into insignihcance — it appeared almost impossible to increase 
the army to the standard required for the mighty operations con- 
templated in the plans for the campaign. 

In this crisis Governors Morton and Buougii met at Indianapolis 
and devised a plan, which afterwards ripened into the " One hmi- 
(Ired Days' movement,'' whereby it was hoped the troops then 
engaged as rear guards could be relieved and sent forward for the 
more important work of fighting the enemy. Accordingly, on the 
llth of April, a telegrain was sent to the Governors of Illinois, 
Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan, inviting them to meet the Govern- 
ors of Ohio and Indiana at Indianapolis, in consultation on im- 
portant public business, on the 22d. The meeting was held. Gov- 
ernors Yates of Illinois; Stone of Iowa, Brough of Ohio, Lewis of 
Wisconsin and Morton of Indiana being present. (Governor Blair 
of Michigan, could not attend but telegraphed his readiness to ac- 
cede to any measures, which might be adopted for the benetit of 
the country.) After full discussion, the general features of the 
plan vv'ere agreed to and the Governors immediately proceeded to 
Washington, to urge its adoption by the President. In this they 
succeeded. The proposition v/as in the following form: 

" To the President of the United S'atea : 

T. The Goveriiors of Oliio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa anil Wisconsin ofVor lo the 
Pi-csidcnt inCantry troops ibr tin' approaching campaign, as follows :

hidiana, 20,00". 

Illinois, 20,000. 

Iow:i, 1 0,00(1. 

Wisconsin, f^OOO. 

II. The term of service to be one hundred days, reckoned from the date of 
muster into the service of the United States, unless sooner discharged. 

III. The troops to be mustered into the United States service by regiments, 
%vheu the regimencs are filled up, according to regulations, to the minimum strength 
— the regiments to be organized according to the regulations of the War Depart-

mcnt. The whole number to be furnished v/Itliin twenty days from the date of no- 
tice of the acceptance of this proposition. 

IV. The troops to be clothed, armed, equipped, subsisted, transported, and paid 
as otiier United States infantry volunteers, and to serve in fortifications, or wher- 
ever their services may be required, within or without their respective States. 

V. No bounty to be paid the troops, nor the service charged or credited to any 
draft. 

VI. The draft for three years' service to go on in any State or disti-ict where 
the quota is not filled up ; but if anj' officer or soldier in this special service should 
be drafted, he shall bo credited for the service rendered. 

John Bkougii, Governor of Ohio. 
O. P. Morton, Governor of Indiana. 
RiciiAUD Yates, Governor of Illinois. 
Wm. M. Stone, Governor of Iowa. 
James T. Lewis, Governor of Wisconsin. 

" The foregoing proposition of the Governors is accepted, and the Secretary of 
War is directed to carry it into execution. 

A. LmcoLX." 
'•April 24, 18G4." 

As soon as the acceptance of the proposition had been decided, 
the fact was communitated to lieadquarters at Indianapolis, and 
preparations made for raising Indiana's quota as soon as possible.* 
That the quota was not raised requires a word of explanation. The 
atteiupt was made at the busiest time of the spring season, just 
after the heavy calls of February and March had been filled, which 
the people, who liad been so largely drawn on before, confidently 
believed would be the last. No fears of a draft were entertained, 
and most of the arms-bearing laboring men of the State had entered 
into engagements with farmers for the season. The militia, what 
there was of it, was organized on the volunteer system for the ])ro- 
tection of the border, with the express understanding that it was 
not to be called into service except for home defense. The militia 
law gave the Governor no power to compel service, or to send the 
troops beyond the limits of the State ; this force, therefore, as a body, 
was not available, though many volunteers were obtained from it 
for the call. In Ohio the case was different, and her quota was 
entirely and immediately filled by simply transferring the required 
number from the National Guard to the United States' service. 
Indiana's quota could only be filled by volunteers, and with the 
most energetic efforts the authorities were able to make, only eigiit 
regiments, aggregating seven thousand four hundred and fifteen 

•■'Appendi.x, Doc. No. 120. 



AN F,1U<0R CORRECTED. ?9 

men, could be raised. In Illinois the case was about llie same, and 
f"or similar reasons her quota was not filled by nearly one-half. 
Iowa furnished over two thousand and Michigan nearly four thou- 
sand. 

The Indiana hundred days mv.u served their term in Tennessee 
and Alabama, and by relieving older and more experienced troops 
I'rom the duty of guarding General Sherman's communications, 
supply depots, etc., greatly strengthened his army and assured its 
success in the arduous and stubbornly-contested struggle against 
Atlanta. The regiments were well olFicered, were cotviposed of the 
l)est material, and by faithful service reflected credit upon them- 
selves and the State. So highly did the Government value their 
services, the President issued to each man a certificate of thanks. 

In concluding this account, I desire to notice a statement niade 
by Mr. WniTELAW Reid, in his history of " Ohio in the War.*' 
lie claims that it was upon the " suggestion "' of Governor Brougu 
that the meeting of the Governors was held at Washington, and 
that the proposition which was accepted was "prepared under his 
direction,"* leaving the inference very clear that the One Hundred 
Days movement originated with the Governor. Such is not the 
fact. Governor Brough did a noble part in that matter, and it is 
but just to his honored memory that the highest meed of praise be 
awarded to him. But the idea was first " suggested " by Governor 
Morton. It is known to the writer hereof, who was a member of 
(xovernor Morton's military staft' and on duty at the executive 
office at the time, that he conversed freely on the subject of fur- 
nishing short-term men to relieve the garrisons and guards in the 
rear of Grant and Sherman, and indeed matured, substantially, 
the plan that was afterwards adopted, several weeks before Governor 
Brough came to Indianapolis when tlie matter was first talked of 
b(>t\veen them. In fact. Governor Brough's visit was on private 
business relating to railroad affairs, and he called upon Governor 
Morton through courtesy and friendship, when the latter explained 
his i)lan. The subsequent meeting of the Governors grew out of 
the first interview. Doubtless all of them had thought about some 
such movement, but if there is any especial credit due for first sug- 
gesting it, Governor Morton is clearly entitled to it.

40 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

DRAFT OF 1S62. 

Under the Pre.sidenfs instructions, the Secretary of War issuecS 
orders on the 4th of August, 1862, calling for three hundred thou •• 
riaiid men to .^ervc for nine months, and providing for a diaft from 
tlie militia, if the quotas of the several loyal States were not filled 
by the 15th of August. At the time this call was made, tiie call 
of July 2d, 1862, also for three hundred tiiousand men. was sriti 
pending. Indiana's quotn., under each call, assigned ot! the basis 
of populatioii, was twenty-one thousand two hundred and fifty 
men, making together forty-two thousand five hundred ujen. By 
the 20::h of Sept(>.mber both calls had been filled by volmrteers, ex- 
<'ept six thousand and sixty, and this deficiency was further reduced 
before the draft was made (October 6th,) to three thonsand and 
three rnen, wiiicli r,u;nber was actually drafted. It is now known 
that even this sn\:ill number o!' men Vvas not due from the State; 
on the contrary, if the accounr of troops furnished had b;>en accu- 
rately made up at tiie time, it would have clearly- demonstrated 
that the State had more tiian fdied all her ([uotas. But the ep.roll- 
ment of the militia, and an examination of the best available data 
of troops previously furnished, showed that of the nine hundred 
and sixty-nine townships in tlie State, three hundred and thirty-four 
were in arrears on their quotas, while tiie remaining six hundred 
and thirty-iive W(;re in excess of theirs, or at least had filled tiieiii. 
While the State was not indebted to the Government to the extent 
of one mail, it will be seen that iliree hundred and thirty-four 
townships were behind on their quotas, as already stated, to the 
number of six thousand and sixty men. To equalize the burden 
of furnishing troops between all the townships, which only nov\ 
became a burden because of the forced drain upon the arm-bearing 
population of the State, at a time when loyal and disloyal citizens 
alike had almost "despaired the Re|)ublic," it was decidedly proper 
to require the delinquent townships to make good their deliiKjuen- 
cies, and thus place Mie whole State on an equal footing. This 
was done — pardy by the pressure of the imj)ending draft, which 
secured volunteers for more than one-half of the delinquency, and 
by the draft: itself for the balance. Governor Morton, more than 
any other man, regretted the necessity of resorting to a draft, 
and, while he was thoroughly satisfied tlie State was ahead on her 
quota, and really was not justly liable to be conscripted for a single 



ADJUSTMENT OF CREDITS. 41 

soldier, yet it was apparent that, though many loctilitics had fur- 
nished inop' than their proportion of volunteers, other localities 
had failed U> furnish theirs. A draft was looked upon as a dis- 
graceful thing, but the result of this one brought out the plain fact 
that to makii the burden of furnishing troops bear equally upon all 
localities and communities, all deficiencies should be supplicnl, and 
the draft was the only means of doing it. This was equal, just, 
and right; though it was afterward ascertained that the State was 
eight thousand and eight uicn in excess of her quota, on all calls, at 
the time the draft was made — October 6, 1862. The true account, 
upon subsequent adjustment, was as follows: troops called for prior 
to August 4, 1S63, sixljj'four Ihoasaml seven hundred and sixy-Jire ; 
''roops furnished at date of the draft, ninety-four thousand and 
twenty-three; leaving to our credit a surplus of twenty- nine thousand 
tivo hundred and fifty-eight men, which was enough to fill the call 
of August 4th, and still leave to the credit of the State, applicable 
to future calls, eight thousand and eight men. 

Prior to the issuing of tlic call of August 14th, recruiting v/as in 
a very languid state, and enlistments were made slowly and with 
great reluctance. Disloyal elements were actively at work through- 
out the State ; desertions were encouraged by rebel sympathizers, 
and the slow progress made by our armies in the field, discouraged 
and disheartened the friends of the Union cause to a degree that 
even yet is painful to contemplate. The draft, therefore, became 
an imperative necessity, and, coupled with the extensive rebel raids 
of KiitBY S.MITI1 and Morgan, and the advance of Bragg's whole 
army into Kentucky, which occuiTed while the calls of July and 
August were pending, a most wonderful change was wrought, and 
regiments and batteries were recruited with unexampled rapidity. 
The facts relating to recruiting during this important period have 
been so fully given in another part of this report, under the head 
of " Kirby Smith's Campaign," it is not necessary to allude to them 
here. A brief statement of the manner in whicli the drait of 1862 
was conducted, may, however, very properly be given, as it was a 
new and novd feature in our afil'airs, and deserves a j)lace in the 
military annals of the State. 

T II ]•; E N R L L il E N T . 

No enrollment of the militia had been made since 1832, when 
the militia force under the old act of February 10, 1S31, appears to 



42 ADJUTANT ceneral's K1;P>)HT. 

have been Jiftij-tltree thousand nine hundred and thirteen men. Un- 
der the call of August 4, 1862, it became necessary to eiu-oll in the 
militia every able-bodied white male citizen, resident within the 
State over the age of eighteen and under the age of forty-five years. 
A plan was prepared by the Secretary of War for this purpose, 
but in many particulars it was impracticable, as applied to this 
State, because its execution depended upon county otiicers, some of 
whom were opposed to any and every means adopted by the 
(government to fill its armies; Governor Morton therefore modi- 
fied the plan somewhat, which modification being approved by the 
War Department, the enrollment was made accordingly. 
The plan contemplated : 

1. The appointment of a Commissioner in each county, who 
was required to aj)point a deputy in each township; the deputies 
to make the enrollment; the Commissioner to supervise the work. 

2. Two lists were to be made in each lownship ; one for those 
who were in the United States service, and the other for ail other 
residents between the prescribed ages. 

3. These lists were to be returned on completion, by a day to 
be fixed, to the Commissioner for the county, who should then ap- 
point a time when he and his deputies would sit as a Board and 
hear and determine all excuses. Notice of this day was then to 
be given, and, wh(m all exemptions were marked off, the lists would 
be ready for the draft. Upon completion of the lists, the Commis- 
sioners of the several counties were required to return them to the 
General Commissioner at Indianapolis, to enable him to determine 
the quota of men required from each township preparatory to 
ordering the draft. 

The enrollment was made under many difficulties, and in many 
cases was unavoidably imperfect, but as its defects could not 
easily be remedied, it gave tolerable satisfaction. The total militia 
force of the State, (not including ninety-three thousand and forty- 
one (93,041) volunteers then in service,) was two hundred and nine 
thousand two hundred and sixteen, (209,216;) of this number 
thirty-six thousand and thirty-eight (36,038) were exempt from 
military duty from various causes, leaving one hundred and seven- 
ty-three thousand one hundred and seventy-eight (173,178) subject 
to service. 



PLAN OF Tin-: FlitST DRAFT. 43 



p A s s i; s . 



While the enrollment was progressing, it became necessary to 
establish some sort of regnlalioiis to prevent citizens liable to be 
drafted from leaving the State to avoid comi)ulsory military 
service. A system was therefore devised, with General Asahei. 
Stone at its head, by which passes were issued upon proper evi- 
dence being shown that the persons who desired to leave the State 
were on legitimate business and not fleeing from the draft. The 
commissioners of the several counties were furnished with the 
necessary blanks and instructions, and issued passes in all proper 
lases, fiee of expense. Without a pass of this kind, any citizen 
liable to draft could be detained by a Marshal until satisfactory 
evidence was produced that he was not a fugitive from the draft. 
This arrangement, in itself, amounted to but little, but the moral 
efiect of it was to deter, or frighten citizens from cowardly at- 
tempting to avoid conscription by leaving the State. 

THE DRA FT, 

The mode of drafting was as follows: The drawing was super- 
vised by the commissioner for the county. The names of all 
who were liable to draft in each township, respectively, were written 
on separate ballots, which were carefully folded and placed in a 
wheel or box, from which a person, blind-folded, drew a number of 
ballots equal to the quota due from the township being drawn. A 
notice was then served upon tlie drafted men, by the Marshal, re- 
quiring them to report at the county seat within five days, from 
which place transportation was furnished to the general rendezvous 
at Indianapolis. 

Upon arrival at the rendezvous, such as wished to furnish sub- 
stitutes were permitted to do so. The time for presenting substi- 
tutes was extended to October 31, 1862, and they were in all 
respects placed upon tiie same footing with drafted men. Many 
of them availed themselves of the privilege gi'anted by the Governor, 
of volunteering in old regiments for three years, which afterwards 
caused some misunderstanding, as the principals in many cases 
claimed exemption on subsequent drafts for the full period of three 
years. But as they were only drafted for nine months, it was held 
that the enlistment of s^'jbstitutes for a longer time was a matter

with which principals had nothmg to do, and all such claims were | 

rejected. i 

The draft toolc place on the sixth of October and passed off very 
quietly, considering the high state of" political feeling which existed 

;it the time; and the perfect fairness with which it was conducted i 

was generally admitted, even by op[v.)nents of the war measures of ' 

the Government. There was but one disturbance reported, which ; 

took place in Blackford county, where a few lawless men destroyed ; 
the draft box and by threats and violence prevented the officers 
from proceeding with the draft on th(^ day ajipointed; but the third 
day afterward it was concluded without further disturbance. 

Of the three thousand and three (3,003) men drafted, 2,183 reported i 

at the general rendezvous, of which number fourteen hundred and | 

forty-one (1,441) volunteered in old three years regiments, or in j 

companies for twelve months' service. Seven hundred and forty- | 

two (74:2) men, were assigned, as dr'ifted men, as follows : One I 

i'ompany to the Fifty-seventh regiment of infantry, one company j 

to the Eighty-third regiment of infantry, two companies to th(; ' 
First regiment of cavalry, and about thirty men to the Ninety- 
ninth regiment of infantry. The companies thus organized were 
permitted to select their own captains ; the lieutenants were selected 
by the Gov'ernor from meritorious non-commissioned officers and 

privates aln^ady in the service. Of the balance of the drafted men, ; 

three hundred and ninety-six (396) were discharged for disability ■ 

and other causes, and four-hundred and twenty-four (4::cJ4) failed to i 

report and were classed as deserters. ;

A provision in the Constitution of the State exempts persons, ; 
conscientiously opposed to bearing arms, from military duty, but 
requires that they shall pay an equivalent for such exemption. 
The enrollment of 1862 shows that there were three thousand one 
hundred and sixty-nine men of this class. Governor Morton pre- 
sented the question of commutation for these exempts to the Sec- | 
retary of War, who decided that they should be relieved from the j 
draft upon the payment of $200 each. About twelve hundred ! 
and fifty "conscientious men" were drafted, and the General Comi- ' 
missioner proceeded to collect from them the commutation money, , 
through liis subordinates in the counties. Some tv/enty-odd thou- j 
sand dollars was collected, vv'hen an appeal from the action of the j

CONTINUATION OF THE DRAFT SYSTEM 

lINDKJi THE ENROI.LMKNT ACT OF CO.XGKKSS, 18G3-4-5. 

In the winter of 1862--8, the impossibility of keeping up our 
armies by volunteering was so apparent, that the necessity of some 
more thorough and vigorous system of recruitment was recognized 
by all loyal adherents of the Government. The attention of Con- 
gress being called to the subject early in the session of that winter, 
after careful and anxious deliberation, the act known as the " En- 
rollment Act" was passed on the 3d day of March, 1863. The 
objects of the Act were : 

1. To enroll and hold liable to miliiary duty, all citizens eaj)- 
able of bearing arms, not exempt therefrom by its provisions. 

2. To call forth the national forces by draft whc>n required. 
•3. To arrest and return deserters. 

The great feature of the new law, liowevcr, was the establisli- 
ment of an entire new system of raising recruits for the army. 
Hitherto the whole matter had been conducted by the States; now,

however, it was taken directly in hand by the General Govern^ 
tneiit. For this purpose a new Bureau was established under 
charge of the Provost Marshal General. To assist hini, Provost 
Marshals were appointed in each Congressional District. For con- 
venience there was also appointed, though not required by the law, 
an Acting Assistant Provost Marshal General for each State. To 
these officers and their subordinates, the whole business of enroll- 
ing, enlisting, and when quotas were not filled, drafting, men to fill 
the demands of the Government, and arresting deserters, v\"as con- 
fided. The authorities of the States of coarse co-operated and as- 
sisted, but the whole maeiiinery of raising men was placed under 
the immediate charge of tlie Provost Marshal General. Being 
thus simplified, and controlled by one Bureau, the great work of 
recruiting was much more equitably and promptly performed than 
under the purely volunteer system. 

To facilitate the enrollment, the law established in each District 
a Board of Enrollment, composed of the District Provost Marshal 
as President, a (commissioner and a Surgeon, appointed by the 
President of the United States. This Board was directed to divide 
the District into sub-districts, and appoint every two years an en- 
rolling officer for each sub-district. The enrolling officer was pro- 
vided with blanks and instructions, and required immediately to 
proceed to enroll all persons subject to do military duty, noting 
their age, residence and occupation. These lists were then con- 
solidated and a copy forwarded to the Provost Marshal General. 

As soon as the new Bureau was fairly organized, steps were taken 
to carry out these provisions. The Boards of Enrollment were 
organized early in May, 1863, and the districts at once sub-divided 
for the purpose of enrollment; towns, townships, and wards being 
generally adopted as the most convenient sub-divisions. The en- 
rolling officers were appointed, and sworn to perform their duties 
and carry ouu their special instructions, faithfully and impartially, 
great care being exercised to appoint none but competent and 
honest men. To find such men, willing to undertake the work, 
was a matter of some difficulty, but the list was completed, and 
the enrollment commenced in earnest about the 25th of May, 1863. 
This enrollment was to form a complete register of all the national 
forces not actually in the service ; it contained the names of all 
men liable to cfi-aft, and furnished the basis for determining the 
proportion of troops to be supplied by each sub-district; it exhib-

itcd the (lata for c^«tablislIi^g, between the Government and eaeh 
locality, an account of military service, in which all that was due 
was to be charged, and all that should be |)aid was to be credited, 
A correct enrolhuent was, therefore, of the utmost importance, not 
only in jnstic<» to those in service, but to those liable to perforn) 
military duty under I he law, who remained at home. Every step 
was taken to insure accuracy in making up the cnroHment lists ; 
and, on the 17th day of November, I860, a circular was issued by 
the Provost Marshal General, directing the Boartls of Enrollment 
to revise and correct their work, to the end that any future call foi' 
troops might bear justly and equitably upon all localities alike. 
Attention to this subject was again called in a circular from the 
same otliccr, dated June 25, 1864, and again in a circular issued 
November 15, 1864. The people of this State were also recom- 
mended to lend every exertion to assist in perfecting the enrollment 
lists, by a circular issued by Brigadier General Pitcher, Acting 
Assistant Provost Marshal General, dated December 2, 1864, to 
which was appended a circular issued by the Adjutant General of 
Indiana, on the same date. The first lists were necessarily very 
defective, but from continual corrections made in pursuance of the 
rrcommt'ndations of the Provost Marshal General and Adjutant 
General, it ia believed that they at last became as nearly j)erfecl 
as the system adopted would permit. 

After the calls of 1862 were filled, as before detailed, no further 
call for troops was made until after the first enrollment (under the 
enrollment act of Congress) had been accomplished. The next 
call v/as for four regiments of six months men, in June, 1863, and 
these were furnished withoi^t delay, by volunteers. 

Upon the completion of the enrollment under the "Enrollment 
Act," the President called for one-fifth of the number enrolled in 
the first class, in the States and Districts which were in arrears. 
This c;dl, however, did not effect Indiana, as we had a surj)lus over 
all calls of eleven thousand and eleven men. 

On the 17th of October, 1863, the President issued another call 
for three hundred thousand men, increased on the 1st of February, 
1864, to five hundred thousand men, and further increased under 
call of March 14, 1864, to seven hundred thousand. Under these 
calls, the quota of Indiana w^as declared to be forty-ilvc; thousand 
five hundn^d and twenty-nine. To fill this demand, thirty-seven 
thousand and eleven men enlisted as voluntecis. which, added to 



48 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

the eleven thou^5alld and eleven excess over former calls, left still a 
surplus in favor of the State of two thousand four hundred and 
ninety-three, without resorting to draft. 

On the 2:3d of April, 1864, a call was made for one hundred dayf 
men. and, in accordance therewith, seven thousand four liundred 
and fificen men were furnished by this State. 

On the 18th of July, 1864, another call for five hundred thousand 
men was issued, under which the quota of Indiana was declared 
to be twenty-five thousand six hundred and sixty-tv\'o. This was 
filled as follows: Drafted men and substitutes, twelve thousand 
four hundred and seventy-six, of whom six hundred and twenty- 
three paid commutation; the balance were volunteers, naval re- 
cruits, and re-enlisted veterans, not previously credited. The draft 
under this call was made in the months of September and October, 
and passed off very quietly. 

On the 19th of December, 1864, another call was made, being 
the last of the war, for three hundred thousand m.en. The quota 
of the State was twenty-two thousand five hundred and eighty- 
two, which was filled principally by volunteers — only two thousand 
four hundred and twenty-four men having been conscripted by the 
draft, which was made in March, 1865. 

The quotas were assigned by districts by the Provost Marshal 
(General, by the following simple proportion, — as the total enroll- 
ment of the United States is to its quota — (the number called for), 
so is the enrollment of the district to its quota. The district 
quotas were in the same manner apportioned among the sub- 
districts, by the District Provost Marshal. 

The quotas thus obtained were then reduced by surplus over 
former calls and excesses in enrollment, and all credits allowed for en- 
listments previous to the draft. The remainder were drawn by the 
draft. The call of December 19, 1864, being for 300,000 men, after 
making deductions for all excesses, the method adopted for distrib- 
uting quotas was different and somewhat peculiar. The total 
excess of all the States was added to the number called for, and 
the quotas determined from tliis sum, each district having its quota 
reduced by its own excess, The districts in arrears under former 
calls were thus required to make up the deficiency under this call, 
so that a perfect balance between the General Government was 
established. 



THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS COMMUTATION'. 40 

Before the last call was filled however, the rebel armies were 
>ud(lenly and completely overthrown, and recruiting was discontin- 
ued. It will be seen that Indiana filled all calls promptly, no 
deficiencies being left to be filled on subsequent calls, our excess 
after the calls had been filled varying from 2,000 to 80,000. No 
fact could more clearly exhibit the splendid patriotism and public 
spirit of our people, or the vigor and energy of our authorities, 
than the promptness with which each demand upon the State was 
met. There was no lagging, no hesitancy ; though the quotas were 
often deemed excessive and unjust, they were always filled with 
W6;w, actual bona-fide soldiers; the demands of the General Govern- 
ment were not cancelled by naval credits, men enlisted in rebellious 
States or other " dead-head " substitutions ; and with but one 
exception, in no State was there so small a proportion who relieved 
themselves from service by the payment of a money commutation. 
These statements are not made in a boastful spirit, nor to reflect 
upon other States, but justice to our own people demands that 
Their efforts in filling our armies, upon which more than any other 
cause the suppression of the rebellion depended, should be plainly 
set forth and clearly recognized.* 

It is hardly necessary now to describe the minutia and intrica- 
cies of the conscription act and orders made under the same. It 
is sufficient to say that certain persons, as aliens, disabled citizens, 
officers of the Government, etc., were exempt from military service 
and not subject to draft ; while all who might be drafted could re- 
lieve themselves from service by presenting an acceptable substi- 
tute, or the payment of commutation money amounting to ^300 
No exemptions on account of conscientious scruples were allowed,, 
it being presumed that such persons would relieve themselves by 
ihe payment of the $300 commutation. Subsequently the enroll- 
ment act was so amended as to provide that members of religious 
denominations, who should, by oath or affirmation, declare that 
they were conscientiously opposed to bearing arms, and who were 
})vohibited from doing so by the rules and articles of faith and 
practice of said religious denominations, should, when drafted into- 
tjie military service, be considered non-combatants, and were to be 
assigned to duty in the hospitals, or to the care of freedmen, or 
:»hould pay 8300 for the benefit of sick and wounded soldiers.

50 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

No person was entitled to the benefit of this section unless hi^ 
declaration should be supported by evidence that his deportment 
had been consistent with such declaration. 

Under the law any person after draft might still be relieved from 
service by furnishing a substitute or tlie payment of $300 commu- 
tation. This provision was manifestly unjust; and although it 
furnished a large "draft and substitute fund," as it was called, with 
which the Provost Marshal's Bureau was enabled to maintain an 
extensive establishment and pay large bounties and premiums, the 
effect of the commutation clause of the law was bad, and it may 
well be doubted whether its benefits were not overshadowed by its 
evils. The crowning argument, at the time, among the people 
was, "a poor man who has not $300 must go to the wars;" "a 
rich man, who can pay $300, or who can hire a substitute, need 
not go." Much of the opposition and not a little of the acerbity 
and bitterness manifested against the war policy of the Govern- 
ment may doubtless be attributed to the unequal bearing upon the 
people of this commutation clause. The money thus obtained, it 
was intended to apply in the procuration of substitutes by the 
Government, and large bounties were at one ofi'ered for volunteers. 
It was soon demonstrated that the practical effect of this pro- 
vision was to make an unfair distribution of the burdens of the 
war. But few substitutes were thus obtained; for, while each call 
for troops brought a large sum into the treasury, but few men were 
placed in the army. People who tiiought the draft was intended to 
procure men, while other means were provided for raising money, 
were greatly dissatisfied. Besides, many wealthy communities 
purchased entire exemption by paying the money value of their 
quotas in advance of the draft, and made no effort to procure 
men. 

Governor Morton, after witnessing the baneful effects of the 
"three hundred dollar" system, and the demoralization wrought 
by it in the minds of the people, everywhere, protested to the 
President and Secretary of War against it in the most earnest and 
emphatic maimer. On the 6th of March, 1863, he wrote as 
follows : 

'' Public feeling has greatly improved in tlac West witliln the last six weeks, but 
I fear the improvement is likely to receive a disastrous check from the construction 
given to the 13th section of the Conscription Act, which permits a drafted man to 
relieve himself from the draft by the payment of $300. By this construction ef ery 
man who can beg or borrow S300, can exempt himself from the draft, and it will

?all only upon tlio ;e wlic are too poo;- to raise that sum. I can assui'c you tliat tliis 
feature in the Bill is creating nauch excitement and ill-feeliiirr towards the (iovern- 
ment among the poorer classes generally, without regard to party, and may, if it is 
not subdued, lead to a jwpular storm, under cover of which the execution of tlie 
I'onscripUon Act may be greatly hindred, or even defeated, in some portions oJ 
the country. 

" Under this construction, I am satisfied that the draft mmII not put into the ranks 
e.,ny person who is not working with tlie Union party ; already movemimts are on 
foot in the secret societies of Indiana, and among the leaders of the disloyalists, iv 
raise BToney to purchase the exemption of every anti-war man who may be di-afted. 
wiio ciin not raise the money himself; and already the boast is made that the Gov- 
<;rnnient shall not have one more of their men for the prosecution of this war. 

'• The matter seems to me of so much importance that I have procured Colonel 
Uo^E, the I^Iarshal of the State, who is the bearer of this letter, to visit you, and 
wlio can more fully inform you of the views and apprehensions entertained here. 
Fi om a careful reading of the section, I am of the opinion that a construction can 
be given to it, without violence, by which it is left discretionary with the Secretary o< 
War to determine whether he will accept of any sura in discharge of the drafted 
man, and that he may legitimately determine that he will not. 

"In my judgment, it is of the first importance that this construction, if possible, 
be immediately given to tlie act, and published to the world, before a current of 
feeling shall have set in against the Government. In Indiana, substitutes can not 
be })rocured for $300 in any number, if at all, (uid the rule shoukl he that every 
drafted man shoidd he required to serve unless he shall actually produce his substitute. 

■' I pray you to give this subject your immediate consideration." 

But the commutation system was retained for the time being, 
notwithstanding the repeated declarations of General Fry himself, 
at tlic head of the Provost Marshal's Bureau, that the measure was 
impolitic and detrimental to the best interests of the service. 

On the first of February, 1864, the Governor — who had 
frequently appealed in person to the authorities at Washington for 
a repeal or suspension of the 8300 clause of the enrollment act- — 
address(>d the following characteristic letter to the Provost Marshal 
(iencral : 

State of Indiana, Executive Department, 
Indianapolis, February 1, 1864. 
Coi.. James B. Fuy, 

Provost Marsltal General, Washington City: 
Dear Sir: The call of the President for 200,000 additional troops, appeared 
in the papers this moi'uing, and meets with my hearty approbation. 

I have dispatched Adjutant General Noisle, the bearer of this letter, to Wash- 
ington, to settle some questions affecting the quota of Indiana under the last call. 

I deem it not improper at this time to call the attention of the Government to a 
subject which is already receiving much discussion in tlie Western States, (I speak 
more particularly for Indiana), and which may soon attain a magnitude affecting 



52 • ADJUT/^NT (iKN'fJKAL's KE?OKT. 

ibi; popularity of tlie Administration and the strength of tho Govcrliment. It is 
i^enorally thought in the West that the great States of New York and Pennsylvania., 
comprising more than one-third of the population of all the loyal States, are largely 
delinquent under the last two calls, to which may perhaps be added one or twc 
"^ther Eastern States.and tire feeling is becoming quite strong that before any attempt 
fs made by the Government to di-aft in States that have regularly furnished their 
quotas, the Government shonld first collect from those great States their large and 
long due arrears of troops. The burdens of the war should be made to fall as 
nearly as possible equally upon all the States ; while this is done the people will bear 
them cheerfully, bnt if it shall become apparent that some States are avoiding their 
aliare of tlie burdens, which are thus made to fall more heavily upon others, thereby 
increasing those to be borne by the others, it will occasion great dissatisfaction, and 
must result disastrously to the Government. 

I have said to my New England friends that it was short-sighted policy for the 
Eastern States to insist upon a Conscript Law, under which the old and wealthy 
communities can buy out their conscripts, and under which anti-war communities 
everywhere can furnish money to exempt the members of their party who may bt 
drafted. 

Indiana, and other Western States, are suflfering a vast drain upon their 
jjopulation, but they will submit to it patriotically and promptly, if all fare alike. 
But if some States greatly fail to furnish their men and htiy out under the draft, or 
piece out their quotas by colored recruits picked ujj in rebel States, or else- 
where beyond their own limits, it must occasion great dissatisfaction. In less than 
a week from this time the anti-war press will howl into the ears of onr people that 
Indiana is threatened with a draft on the 10th of March if she fails to furnish her 
quota under the now call, while it is believed Pennsylvania and New York are de- 
linquent between one and two hundred thousand, and have been for many months. 
It is stated, Tipon the authority of W^ashington correspondents, that they arc yet \iv~ 
hind upon the call of 1862, for which the ineffectual draft was made last summer^ 
and the conviction will be fastened upon the public mind, that if those States had 
done their duty, some of the Western States would be relieved from all responsi- 
bility under the last call. There may be too much truth in all this to make it easily 
answered. Tho people of Indiana will not be content if their actual and furnished 
([uotas are to be counted against the nominal and unfurnished quotas of other 
States, and as it is a (juestion of actual flesh and blood, they will not be content that 
the superior capital of the older States can be made to count under the Conscrijil 
Law against their so/diers which they send to the field. 

What I have to say on this subject, I say to the Government, and not to tho 
public. I have labored, and shall labor, to keep down all discontents, and I intend, 
to the extent of my power, that Indiana shall furalsh her quota irrespective of what 
other States may do. 

I know your opinion of the Consci-ipt Law, and that the retention of tho commu- 
tation clause is against your convictions of justice and sound policy. You under- 
stand tliis subject much better than I do; but you will be able to pardon the sug- 
gestions of one who has labored diligently in his sphere, and has but one great pur- 
pose, which is, the support of the Government and the Suppi-ession of tho Re- 
bcUiou. 



SOLDIERS WANTED — NOT MONEY. 53 

1 liAvc not kept pace very accurately with Congressional proccediugs, liiit m\ 
impression is that the commutation clause will be retained in some form which will 
substantially defeat the procurement of new troops within the time when they will be 
most needed by the Government, and could be most useful for the speedy temiina- 
tion of the war. 

I dislike to trouble the Secretary of ^Var in the midst of }iis great labors with my 
crude snggestiGns, but rf he has time to hear you read this communication I .shall 
be gratified. 

I am, very respectfully and s.incerely, yours, 

O. P. MoRTox, Governor of Indiana. 

So greatly and justly was commutation complained of, it was 
repealed, except as to conscientious exempts, hy Congress on the 
4th of July 1864, up to which time no draft under the Conscription 
Act had taken place in Indiana. The privilege of release upon 
payment of commutation v.^as continued, until the close of the 
war, to the class of men known as conscientious exempts. There 
were hov/ever, during the whole war, but 785 persons of this class 
who paid commutation from this State. This subject led to many 
peculiar difficulties, which as they did not affect this State arc 
passed over. Before the draft was applied to Indiana, the principle 
was clearly recognized that a call for men meant SotiDiKRs and nor 
commulation money^ nor an adjustment of quotas, and the number 
of men called for from Indiana was always promptly supplied. 
Of the two hundred and eisrht thousand three hundred and sixty- 
seven men furnished for United States' service, only seventeen thou- 
sand nine hundred and three were drafted, and of these over three 
thousand were drafted in 1862, when the State had actually a sur- 
plus \o her credit, but did not g( t the benefit of it for reasons 
explained elsewhere in this Report. 

The drafted men of 1864 were assigned to veteran regiments, 
from 100 to 500 going to each. They performed good service, 
{with the exception of a W.^si hundred bounty-jumpers,) many of 
thera being with General Sherman in his great canipaign through 
Georgia and the Carolinas, and others materially assisting Genera) 
Thomas in the operations which resulted in the destruction of the 
rebel army under Hood, in Middle Tennessee. The same remark 
also applies to the men raised under the last call, with the exception 
of some six hundred drafted men, who were discharged at Indiana- 
polis, after the surrender of Lee — their services not being needed. 
Besides the great service thus rendered, the depleted ranks of the 
heroic regiments which had been thinned by the campaigns of more

than three years were filled and many officers, who were denied 
muster in the grades to which they had bemi promoted — because 
of the havoc made in their commands by bullets and disease^, 
whereby they were reduced below the minimum strength — now 
received their hard-earned and well-deserved advancement. 

During the pendency of the drafts recruiting was greatly stimu- 
lated. The dread of the draft induced citizens to exert themselves 
in raising local bounties, the temptation of which v.^as too strong 
to be resisted, and doubtless many hundreds from pecuniary con- 
siderations alone were secured for the army ; while others dreaded 
the draft, owing to the supposed reflection uj)on the patriotism of 
any one in not rendering service to the country, until forced into 
the ranks by the Provost MarshaFs inexorable "wheel"; and this 
dread forced into the army many times the number drawB by the 
draft itself. 

Immediately upon the taking effect of the act, in March 1863,. 
" for enrolling and calling out the National Forces," Colonel Jame» 
B. Fry, Assistant Adjutant General of the Army, was detailed as 
Provost Marshal General of the United States, and a sej^arate- 
Bureau was established under his charge through which all business 
under the act was transacted. Colonel Fry, from long experience 
and by education, was admirably qualified for the important and 
multifarious duties of Provost Marshal General. The position was 
surrounded witli many difficulties, growing out of the haste and 
confusion which had previously attended the recruitment of troops, 
and the complications that arose in settling former credits and ad- 
justing future quotas in the several States. The intercours-e be- 
tween the Governor and Military Authorities of Indiana and CoL 
Fry, who was afterwards promoted to the rank of Brigadier Gene- 
ral, was extensive and intricate, and, it is but justice to say, he 
always manifested a disposition to conscientiously and justly facili- 
tate the efforts made by the State Authorities to raise troops in 
Indiana to the full extent of his powx'r. A more faithful or capable 
oflicer could hardly have been called to tlie performance of this 
responsible trust. 

In organizing the Provost Marshal's Bureau, it was found to be 
indispensable to have an officer in each State to superintend the 
operations of the District Provost Marshals and other subordinates 
of the Bureau, and conduct the intercourse necessary with the State 
authorities. The law^ created no such office, but the public demands.

warranted its establishineiit in each loyal State. The exigencies 
of the service limited, as a general rule, the selection of officers to 
fill these important posilioiis to those incapable of active duty ; but 
notwithstanding this, excellent men for the purpose were secured 
fVotn the re^i^iar and volunteer forces. They were assigned to their 
posts in April, 1863, under special instructions from the Provost 
Marshal General, and were designated as acting Assistant Provost 
Marshals General and Superintendents of the Volunteer Recruiting 
Service. They established their otiices and organized them for 
business upon the same general plan as that of the Provost Marshal 
General, but on a scale modified to suit their more limited duties.* 

Colonel Conrad Baker, First Indiana Cavalry Volunteers, was 
assigned to duty under the above arrangement, upon the recom- 
mendation of Governor Morton, by orders dated April 29, 1863, 
and immediately established his headquarters at Indianapolis and 
entered actively upon the work committed to him. His fine 
ability as a lawyer, superior qualifications as a thorough and meth- 
odical business man, with his incorruptible integrity and the expe- 
rience of eighteen months' active service in the field, made his 
appointment eminently fit and proper, and entirely acceptable to 
the people of the State. He cooperated most cordially with the 
State authorities, and, although no draft was ordered while he was 
in office, so completely had all the preparations been made, little 
difficulty was afterwards experienced in carrying out the objects of 
the conscription law. 

Colonel Baker having been nominated for Lieutenant Governor, 
and his term of service in the army having expired, he was honora- 
bly mustered out on the 17th of August, 1864. He was succeeded 
by Colonel James G. Jones, Forty-second Indiana Infantry Volun- 
teers, formerly Attorney General of the State, a gentleman of the 
highest professional and social standing, a faithful and industrious 
officer, and for some time previously assistant to Colonel Baker, 
as Superintendent of the Recruiting Service. Under his supervision 
the first draft was made under the enrollment act. His term as 
Colonel of Volunteers expired on the 10th of October, 1864, and 
he was honorably discharged from the service at that date. 

Thomas G. Pitcher, a native of Indiana, Major of the Sixteenth 
United States Regular Infantry and Brigadier General of Volun- 
teers, succeeded Colonel Jones. He had been severely wounded

in battle ancl was incapacitated for active .'service in the field ; 
but his long experience in the regular army and thorough knowl- 
edge of the needs of the service, with the experience he had pre- 
viously gained as Acting Assistant Provost Marshal General for 
the State of Vermont, qualified him in an eminent degree for the 
duties which devolved upon him in Indiana. His first step was to 
cause the enrollment lists to be carefully corrected and revised, and 
when the call of December 19th, 1864, appeared he was at once 
ready to proceed w"ith it, and so actively did he cooperate with the 
Governor and State military authorities in filling the quota of 
22,582, only 2,082 men were required to be drafted to fill the call. 
General Pitcher remained on duty at Indianapolis, after the busi- 
ness of the Provost MarshaFs Bureau had been closed, acting as 
Chief Mustering Ofiicer and Military Commander of the District 
of Indiana, from the 25tli of September, 1865, to the 17th of August, 
1866, when h'e was relieved and promoted to the Colonelcy of the 
Forty-fourth Fegiment V. R. C, U. S. Infantry. Subsequently he 
was assigned to duty as Superintendent of the West Point Military 
Academy, which position he still retains. 



RECRUITS FOR THE UNEXPIRED TERM. 

From the commenceujent of the rebellion it was the policy ol 
the Government, in which the authorities of this State heartily 
concurred, to enconrage recruiting to till the depleted ranks of old 
regiments in the field, rather than the formation of neiv organiza- 
tions. The increased efficiency of the army, and greater economy 
in its management, were among the obvious advantages of such a 
course. In the summer of 1862 this plan was generally advised 
and persistently impressed upon the public mind. Letters from 
the War Deparimeiit, from General McClellax, and other com- 
manding officers, repeatedly and strongly urged that justiae to those 
regiments wliich had already achieved a noble fame, as well as jus- 
tice to the cause, demanded that they should be recruited to their 
uiaximum. These high authorities supported their appeal in behalf 
of old organizations by representing that the comfort and safety of 
the new recruits, their progress and facility in learning their duties* 



KKCRUiTS rOK IJxNKXl'IHEU TKRM. D< 

and the steadiness, ease, and success with which they ])erfoimecl 
the many dillicult tasks of the campaign, were all promoted by 
association, side by side, in the same ranks, with veteran and ex- 
perienced soldiers. 

But however important it might be to fill up existing organiza- 
tions, it v\'as a work much more difficult of accomplishment than 
the formation of new ones. Neither commissions nor warrants 
could be held out as inducements, the offices being already filled, 
and the chances of promotion for raw recruits among veteran 
soldiers were, therefore, slight indeed. The fear of ridicule, and an 
apprehension that the hardest service would be assigned to com- 
mands longest in service, had much influence in determining recruits 
to prefer new regiments, where they could, in all respects, be the 
equals of their comrades, and share with them in the hope of 
promotion. 

Recruiting parties had been detailed i^rom most of the old organi* 
zations, and were zealously engaged in all parts of the State in 
filling the ranks of their companies. The general prejudice against 
enlisting in old regiments proved a great obstacle to tlie success of 
their labors. This difficulty was, however, finally obviated to some 
extent, and a fair proportion of recruits diverted to the de- 
sired channel, by the understanding that all such would be mus- 
tered out w4th the regiments in which they should enlist, and not 
be held for three years from the date of enlistment, as would be 
the case if they joined the organizations then forming. 

This impression, though unauthorized by orders from the War 
Department, unquestionably emanated from the chief mustering 
officer and his assistants. It was shared by the recruiting officers 
and by the State authorities. The Adjutant General of the State, 
in General Orders No. 96, dated October 7th, 1862, stated that 
drafted men would be permitted to volunteer in any of the old reg- 
iments in the field to serve during their "unexpired term," and that 
"substitutes for drafted men (of 1862) would be permitted to vol- 
unteer in the same manner." The same understanding w^as had in 
Iowa, Pennsylvania, and doubtless all other loyal States. The 
plan of veteranizing had not then been adopted, and there was 
nothing unreasonable in the supposition that upon a dissolution of 
an organization, at the expiration of its term of service, all the 
men composing it would be simultaneously relieved from duty. 
The fact that recruits w^ere not accepted for the general service, 



58 ADJUTANT GKN'EHAL's REPORT. 

but for particular regiments or batteries, doubtless strengthened the 
impression. Large nuiribers of recruits entered the service with 
this understanding, and though the muster rolls which they signed, 
bound them to serve for "three years unless sooner discharged,"' 
yet this was exphiincd by the mustering officers as "a mere techni- 
cal formality," which would not, in any event, be held to invali- 
date the verbal agreement. 

When, upon the expiration of the term of service of their respec- 
tive regiments, the original members were mustered out, these recruits 
demanded their discharge. They iiad fulfilled their contract with 
the Government, as they understood it, and had a right to expect 
that the conditions of that contract, as explained by the officers rep- 
resenting the Government at the time of their enlistment and 
muster-in, should be observed in good faith. Mustering officers 
refused compliance with this demand, citing their muster-in rolls as 
the only admissable evidence in such cases. The men thus re- 
tained in the service, in violation of the clearly understood terms 
on their part of the compact, and by virtue of what the Govern- 
ment officers had assured them was, "a mere technical formality,* 
appealed to the State authorities to interfere in their behalf. Such 
appeals were frequent and from various departments of the army, 
this class of recruits having been enlisted in numerous commands. 
They made no complaint of the severity of the service and ex- 
pressed no disinclination to its duties, but protested against the 
maimer in which they were held, as a violation alike of the princi- 
ples of common justice and their rights as men. 

With a full knowledge of the circumstances, the authorities 
could not but feel the force of such a protest. Governor Morton 
presented the matter to the Secretary of War, and asked that an 
order miglit be issued for the discharge of all Indiana soldiers thus 
retained in the field. The Secretary declined to take any action in 
the premjses on the ground that their muster rolls bound them to 
serve for three years, and left him no discretion to interfere in their 
behalf. Further applications to the War Department proved 
equally unsuccessful, eliciting only a disclaimer of any responsibil- 
ity for the alleged misunderstanding, and assurance that the inter- 
ests of the service would not admit of their being discharged prior 
to the expiration of their terms of service as shewn by their 
m,uf*ter rolls. 



KEORUlTlXd IN SOUTHflKX Sl'.ATES. o9» 

The Gv>vcriK)r subsequently addressed a memorial* to Cons^ess 
on this subject clearly setting forth all the f;icts, an(i earnestly re- 
questing that body to grant the relief which the War Department 
had felt comix^lled to refase, and stating that in his opinion, eaiclii 
action was alike "demanded by justice, good faith and sound 
policy." Tiiis memorial failed to secure the required action. The 
subject was, at various times, under discussion in Congress. It was 
represented that thousands of troops from a number of States 
were in the same condition, and that whatever relief was extended 
to any one of them must be extended to all. So large a portion of 
our etlective force could not be spared without serious detriment to 
the interests of the servdce^ and notwithstanding the persistent 
etibrts of the State authorities, the men in question were retained 
until the expirations of their terms, or until their services were no 
longei; required. 



RECRUITING IN SOUTHERN STATES. 

The Governors of States, under an act of Congress, approved 
July Ith, 1864, were authorized to send recruiting agents into any of 
the States declared to he in rebellion, except Arkansas, Tennessee^ 
and Louisiana, to recruit volunteers who were entitled to be cred- 
ited upon State quotas, as other volunteers were credited. 

Indiana derived no benefit whatever from this provision. Gov- 
ernor Morton was of opinion that the competition which would 
spring up between the agents of the Northern States, substitute 
brokers, bounty agents and quota-fillers, would practically render 
the law a nuisance, rather than a public benefit, and at the same 
time he believed that the army would be much more efficient if 
each State would fill its quota with actual and bona-fide 
citizens, who owed service to their country and were inter- 
ested in its honor and preservation. General Sherman took 
the same view of the matter and would not allow any enlist- 
ments in his department; nor would he furnish transporta- 
tion to agents or recruits, or in any way lend his assent to the 
scheme. In other departments of the army, however — wherever 
agents could receive countenance and find protection — many of

the States (not including Indiana) made vigorous efforts to cniis< 
men, white and colored, for their quotas and offered large bounties, 
ranging from ^100 to $1,000 per man. The most disgraceful 
means were resorted to by substitute brokers to obtain these cred- 
its, and some of the State agents in their zeal to relieve their citi- 
zens from the rigor of the draft, are reported to have acted in a 
manner highly discreditable. The effect of this competition and 
strife was seriously felt in the army and was altogether detrimental 
to the best interests of the service. Many of the military com- 
manders in the field saw this, and believed that the legislation that 
authorized this mode of recruiting was impolitic and unwise? 
and they gave it that favor only which the law obliged them to° 
The old veterans, who had gone into the war at the outbreak, 
without bounties, even felt less sympathy v/ith the movement thais 
did the military commanders; for they were not blind to the fact 
that it was not patriotism alone that prompted these extraordinary 
(efforts and liberal offers of money; on the contrary, they felt that a 
most unjust discrimination was made between old and new re- 
cruits — the first class being the real heroes of the war, and the 
latter drawn in almost at the last hour by the talismanic power of 
money. They felt, too, that if States did not fill their quotas by 
volunteering, the draft should be promptly resorted to and vigor- 
ously enforced. Doubtless many, who received large bounties, 
entered the service from entirely patriotic motives, but the fact 
still remains the same, that the old soldiers, from their stand-point, 
failed to see or appreciate any patriotism in recruits who joined 
the army at so late a day and were so lavishly paid for it. 

Without calling into question the patriotic efforts and motives 
of the authorities or people of any other State, it is a gratification 
to be able to say that Indiana relied solely and only upon her own 
citizens to fill all her quotas, and that through the influence and 
energy of Governor Morton, she more than fulfilled all her obliga- 
tion.'? to the Government.

Tlie bounties paid by the United States during the v/av* com- 
menced with the act of Congress approved July 22d, 1861, whicls 
authorized the payment of one hundred dollars to volunteers enlist- 
ing for three years. 

No other bounty was oftered until June 25th, 1863, at which dale 
(icneral Orders No. 191, from the Adjutant General's otiice, War 
Department, authorized the payment of four hundred dollars in 
installments to all veterans reenlisting for three years or tiie war. 
(leneral Orders No. 305, of September 11th, and No. 324, of Septem- 
ber 28th, 1863, continued the payment of this bounty of four hundred 
dollars until April 1st, 18G4. 

On the 24th of October, 1863, a circular letter from the oflice of 
the Provost Marshal General, authorized the payment of a bounty 
of three hundred dollars to new recruits enlisting in old organiza- 
tions, to be paid in installments in accordance with conditions 
named in the circular. This bounty was continued until April 1st, 
1864. 

By an order from the Adjutant General's office, War Depart- 
ment, dated December 24th, 1863, the payment of three hundred 
dollars bounty to new recruits enlisting in any three years organi- 
zation in service or in process of formation, was authorized, which 
bounty continued to be paid until April 1st, 1864. 

Between March 31st, 1864, and July 19th, of the same year, the 
only bounty paid by Government was the one hundred dollars 
authorized by the act of July 22d, 1861. 

On the 19th of July, 1864, the Provost Marshal General issued 
Cii-cular No. 27, which authorized the payment of bounty as follows, 
based upon the act approved July 4th, 1864:

62 ADJUTANT GENERAL .S REPJRT. 

1864, from the Provost Marshal General's office, with this excep- 
tion — the bounty authorized by Circxilar No. 27, of July 19th, 1864, 
was the only bounty paid by the United States from the date of 
ihat circular to the end of the war. 

The one hundred dollars bounty was paid to drafted men or their 
substitutes, until the passage of the act approved July 4th, 1864, 
rescinded all authority for the payment of such bounty. 

On the 15th of June, 1865, General Orders No. 115 from the 
Adjutant GeaeraFs office, War Department, discontinued the pay- 
ment of bounty to recruits for the military service of the United 
States, from and after July 1st, 1865. 

It will be seen by the foregoing that new recruits, enlisted prior 
to October 24th, 1863, for three years, received but one hundred 
dollars, wiiile those enlisted for the same period subsequent to that 
date received three hundred dollars. This great disparity, though 
necessitated by the exigencies and demands of the service, was 
regarded as an net of injustice, justifiable only as a temporary ex- 
pedient to be rectified by Congress at the earliest practicable day. 

[nunediately upon the close of the war, efforts were made in all 
parts of the country to secure the passage of an act for the equali- 
zation of bounties. At the special session of the Legislature, in 
1865, a joint resolution* was adopted instructing our Senators and 
requesting our Representatives in Congress to do all in their power 
to secure the passage of such a law. 

The act of Congress approved July 28th, 1866, though leaving 
much to be desired, was an effort in the right direction. By this 
act all who enlisted after the 19th day of April, 1861, and have 
received or are entitled to receive, a bounty of one hundred dollars, 
and no more, are entitled, if discharged by reason of the expiration 
of their term of enlistment, or on account of wounds received- in 
the line of duty, to one hundred dollars additional bounty. If they 
have been discharged for other causes they are entitled to an addi- 
tional bounty of fifty dollars only, provided they served not less than 
two of their three years' enlistment. 

Men who enlisted after the 19th day of April, 1861, for two 
years, and have received or are entitled to receive, a bounty of one 
hundred dollars and no more, if discharged by reason of the causes 
above named, are entitled to fifty dollars additional bounty.

All enlistt^d between July 4th and July 18th, 1864, have received or 
are entitled to receive, one hundred dollars bounty.

bounty to certain classes of volunteers, makes no discrimination as 
to color. 



LOCAL BOUNTIES. 

But little didieuUy wa^ experienced during the first two years of 
the war in promptly filling all calls made upon this State for troops. 



64 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

Local bounties were not then required to stimulate volunteering, 
and althongli in some localities such bounties were paid, the main 
purpose was to benefit the families of volunteers. This liberality 
was regarded as a " duty offering " from those who remained at 
home, to their neighbors who sacrificed peaceful pursuits and pecu- 
niary interests in obedience to the call of their country, rather than 
as a necessary means of filling up the army. 

At the beginning of the year 1863 the State had furnished vol- 
unteers largely in excess of her quotas under all calls, but the con- 
tinuous drain upon her industrial resources soon began to be per- 
ceptibly felt, and from the calls of that year the pressure upon the 
people in many districts having large quotas to fill became so great 
as to demand that the local authorities should device some means 
of relief. Many of the treasuries of counties, cities and towns 
were empty, or had funds sufficient only for ordinary expenditures 
and the means of paying bounties could therefore only be obtained 
by loans. The necessity of procuring money for this purpose was 
most imperative from the fact that no provision of law required 
volunteers to be credited to the townships and counties in which 
they held their legal residence. Each could credit himself in 
accordance with his interest or preference, and would naturally pre- 
fer the township paying the highest bounty, so that a locality ofler- 
ing no pecuniary inducement would be likely to be stripped of its 
able bodied men without making any progress in the work of filling 
its quota and thus become every day less prepared for future calls. 
To overcome these difficulties the local authorities issued bonds, 
which were either sold in large sums, or paid out as cash to volun- 
teers. In this way districts wa^re enabled to fill their quotas and to 
avert the dreaded conscription. 

The validity of these bonds was doubted by many and the belief 
very generally jn-evailed that there was no legal authority for their 
issue. Bankers and brokers regarded them with suspicion and if 
prevailed upon to cash them at all, did so at a heavy discount. 
Every one felt or feared that the courts, if the matter were brought 
before them would render a decision averse to their validity. But 
as the issue of the bonds was clearly a duty and necessity, the peo- 
ple of the various localities interestedreliedupon the Legislature to 
pass an act legalizing the action of the local authorities, making 
the bonds binding according to their terms and effect. They were 
therefore issued and disposed of to a large amount, and upon the

meeting of the Legislature in regular session in January 1865, the 
subject was brought before it and an act* passed legalizing all such 
bonds and providing for the levy and assessment of taxes for their 
redemption. The act also prohibited the payment of local bounty 
under any call that might subsequently be made. 

Shortly after the passage of this act citizens in various parts of 
the State instituted legal prcccedings to test the question of its con- 
stitutionality. Several decisions of circuit courts ailirmed the valid- 
ity of the law, and the subject finally received a quietus in a 
decision ef the Supreme Court at the November term of 1865. 
which declared that the act is not in conflict with the law or author- 
ity of the United States and is valid. 

The aggregate amount expended for local bounties in this State 
during the war reached the enormous sum of 'S 15,492,876.04, vary- 
ing in the several counties from 82,719.63 the smallest paid by 
Starke, to $1,377,199.14, the largest paid by Marion County.f 

The experience of the country during the late war has elicited 
much discussion as to the comparative advantages of the different 
means resorted to for raising troops and many of the best authori- 
ties have expressed opinions condemnatory of any j^lan of recruit- 
ment based upon the local bounty system. The exorbitant bounty 
paid iti advance by local authorities proved a fruitful source of evil, 
in the inducement thus offered for desertion or " bounty jumping." 
The Government bounty on the contrary being paid in installments, 
at the expiration of specified periods from the date of enlistment^. 
had a tendency not only to obtain recruits, but to keep them in the 
service. Local bounty being paid on enlistment, served to Jill quotas- 
much more effectually than it filled the depleted ranks of our armies- 
Local authorities seemed to be aifning at the accomplishment of 
but one object — to avoid the draft. They soon learned that a given 
sum thus paid in advance would fill their quotas much more rapidly 
than a larger amount to be paid in installments, conditioned upon 
the length of time the recruit should continue in the service. They 
did not make it tiieir business to enquire into the probable results 
of such a course, nor stop to consider that they were, virtually^ 
oflering a premium for desertion. The people, with whose money 
they were operating, relied upon them to relieve their districts from 
the draft. If they could secure the recmits, and have them accepted

(i6 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

and credited on their quotas, their interest ceased. It was not 
their business to keep their recruits in the service. That duty de- 
volved on the Government. 

The local bounty system was no sooner fairly inaugurated than 
an active competition commenced between difterent localities. Tiie 
offer of large bounties in some districts induced the enrolled men 
of other districts, which were unable to offer corresponding induce- 
ments, to enlist on the quotas of their more wealthy eom|)etitors, 
vviio would thus escape the draft, while districts that had, in this 
manner, been stripped of their able bodied men, to such an extent 
perhaps that not more than enough were left to take care of the 
farms and carry on the most necessary business, would be obliged 
to submit to the still further exhaustion of the draft. The peculiar 
hardship and injustice resulting from such competition will be ap- 
})arent when it is remembered that quotas were based on enroll- 
ment. If one township secured to its credit the enrolled men of 
another township, the latter was deprived of the means of filling 
its quota, while the Government was defrauded of the men called 
for from the former to the extent that it had drawn upon the legiti- 
mate resources of other districts. 

The people of the localities where the largest bounties were paid 
■regarded their munificent expenditure of money as a highly com- 
mendable exhibition of patriotism. Borne of its practical effects 
were, however, directly the reverse of what a patriot would have 
desired. It relieved many of their own men from the performance 

• of their just share of military duty, and created deficits in the 

• quotas of less fortunate localities. 

Inequality in bounties was another evil growing out of the sys- 
tem, and was productive of mu^h discontent and ill-ieeliiig among 
the troops in the field. The amount of money required to procure 
a given number of recruits increased with (;ach succeeding call 
until, in some sections of the State, the local authorities paid a 
local bounty of five hundred dollars per man.* And this was low 
compared with rates prevailing in the middle and eastern States, 
in some of which one thousand dollars was not considered exhorbi- 
tant. The great disparity of benefits received was often strikingly 
illustrated by different portions of the same command. Men who 
enlisted at the first call, influenced only by j)atriotic imj)ulses, and 
with no expectation of bounty, were serving side by side with

those who h;\d joined them late in the war, ein-iched by their tardi- 
«iess in responding to the call of a common duty. There Was some 
excuse for nf^iirmiiring when the veterans saw these men comins; to 
the field at the eleventh hour, and reflected that these late recruits 
had enjoyed years of unprecedented 0|)portunities for the successful 
prosecution of business, from which they had only been tempted at 
last, when the war was apparently over, by the influence of money. 
Veterans felt little inclination to fraternize with their new associ- 
ates, and were often disposed to indulge in bitter reflections and 
sarcastic comments.. 

The imj)ression prevalent throughout the A^orth, as each suc- 
cessive call for troops was issued, that tfiat call would be the last, 
tended greatly to increase the lavish expenditure of money in the 
shape of local bounties. Thus, in 1864, when the President issued 
his call of July 18th for five hundred thousand men, few, if any. 
supposed there would be occasion for another levy. " Let us 
promptly fill our quotas at whatever cost," was the general senti- 
ment, "for cur armies re-enforced by five hundred thousand men, 
will be able to give the finishing blow to the rebellion." Enormous 
amounts Were raised and the most energetic means employed to 
secure recruits. But the terms of the call provided for the reduc- 
tion of the number of men specified by giving credits to States for 
men previously furnished in excess of quotas, and for all men, not 
previously credited, who had enlisted in the naval service between 
April 19, 1861, and February Slth, 1861, and when the requirements 
of the call had been literally complied with, it was found to have 
produced but 240,000 men. A deficiency of 40,000 men was occa- 
sioned by the operations of the enemy in certain States, rendering 
it inipractictible for them to furnish their full quotas. But the 
main portion of this astounding deficiency, amounting to 220,000 
men, was occasioned by credits secured for naval recruits, re-enlisted 
veterans and men previously furnished in excess of quotas,* While 
it is true that in most districts the people were honestly endeavor- 
ing to re-enforce the army, and that the grand success which was 
attained was mainly due to the efforts of the State officials, zealous 
citizens and efficient committees, it is equally certain that many 
were engaged in " filling quotas " without any scruples as to the . 
means employed. Brokers drove a thriving business in the pro- 
curement and sale of "credits," which were as valuable to town- 



"'App -ulix, D .0. No. 4. Call of X^ ■<-,:■ \\\\, t I'.ltli, l« i4.

ships, whose only object was to fill their quotas, as an equal rium- 
ber of bona fide enlistments^ It is believed that most of the credits- 
obtained in this State, for men not actually furnished at the time 
the credits were made, were obtained by legitimate meaus in 
accordance with existing laws and orders, and for raen who had 
entered the service as re-enlisted veterans or naval recruits. 

This vast discrepency between the credits secured by the States 
and the men obtained by the Government necessitated the issue of 
a supplementary call for tiirce hundred thousand men, on the 19th 
of December, 1864. Under this call the most extravagant rates of 
bounty prevailed. The desire to escape the draft was so great that 
in many localities all other considerations w-ere forgotten. The neces- 
sity for able*bodied men toreenforce the army was overlooked by the 
masses, and every device was employved to get men enlisted and 
credited, many of whom were entirely unfit for the service, and who^ 
if accepted, had to be discharged without performing any duty, 
thus entailing enormous local taxation and a heavy expense upon 
the Government without contributing to the strength of the army.- 

But however great the objections to the local bounty system, 
however numerous the avenues it opened to the practice of frauds, 
it was unquestionably the only means of stimulating recruiting and 
the only possible way of avoiding a draft, which in communitit;s 
most firm in their support of the Government was regarded as a 
reproach upon their patriotism ; and although many of our leading 
military men, those whose positions are calculated to give great 
weight to their expressed opinions, prefer conscription to any other 
means of raising armies, it is certain that their views will never 
become the established opinion of the people at large. If the 
country should again become involved in war, the same prejudice 
against involuntry service would be found to exist, and the difier- 
ent States would prefer to raise their quotas of troops by volun- 
teering, keeping conscription in reserve as a last resort. 

Tile opinion of our best men from experience and observation is 
that to avoid the ruinous effects of competition between diflerent 
localities, the bounty should be uniform throughout the State, and 
should, therefore, be regulated by State legislation. This uniform 
system should be put in operation at tiiecommencementof the war, 
or upon the first call for troops, before any section shall have fur- 
nished any portion of its quota. All parts of the State would then 
have an equal interest in and derive equal benefit from it, and there 



BOUNTY- nJMPJN<>. 69 

would be no injustice in levying a State tax for the paytncnt of llu- 
bounty or the redemption of State bonds issued to raise funds for 
that purpose. In this view of the matter I most earnestly concur. 
The bounty should be paid to the volunteer in person by the 
])rope-r State officers, without the interference of tniddle-rnen or 
brokers, and any agreement by a volunteer with any broker or agent 
for the payment to him of any part of the money so received should 
be declared void. The most stringent |)rovisions should be devised 
to protect recruits from the rapacity of this class of merj, whose 
operations constitute one of the most disgraceful chapters in the 
history of the late war. Thus regulated by general iegislation, the 
burdens equally divided and the benefits shared alike by the people 
of all parts of the State, it is believed that the local bounty system 
would be the best possible incentive to volunteer enlistments. 



B O U N T Y-J U MP ING. 

In the summer and autumn of 1864, many townships in this 
State escaped the impending draft by offering large local bounties 
for volunteers to fill their respective quotas. Other townships, 
where the draft had been made, offered still larger bounties for sub- 
stitutes to take the places of those whose names had been drawn, 
but Vv'lio had not yet been required to report at the designated ren- 
dezvous for duty. Liberal bounties were also offered by the Gov- 
ernment, a considerable installment of which, together v/ith on^* 
month's pay, was paid on the muster of a recruit. 

This unprecedented liberality of the Government and local 
authorities, while it served its intended purpose by promoting&o/«/- 
fide enlistments, also opened the way for a vast amount of swind- 
ling on the part of individual operators, as well as for more exten- 
sive and systematized fraud of organized conspirators. 

Hordes of the worst class of men from every country in Europe, 
and the British American provinces, deserters from the rebel army, 
thieves, pickpockets, and " roughs," mainly from our large cities,* 
throng(>d our recruiting stations, with a well assumed appearance 
of patriotic ardor. They were regularly enlisted and mustered in,

received their bountie&, advance pay and clotliii)g. In a few hoars 
their uniforms would be laid aside, and, donning citizen's dress,. 
they would jjreseat themselves to another recruiting oilieer, and 
again go through the procees of enlistment, muster, and pay, under 
other names. Thus they would go from city to city, in many in- 
stances emlistiag several times in the same locality, till thei? inge- 
iiuity in devising disguises would become exhausted, and motives 
of persona] safety, or the hope of a more profitable field of 0|)era- 
rion elsewhere, would induce them to leave the State. 

Organized gangs of these men, employing various agencies ttv 
avoid detection, and perhaps occasionally aided by the complicity 
of recruiting officers, would, in the eye of the law, " fill the quotas'" 
of townships, while the muster rolls of Provost Marshals exhibited 
only a lot of fictitious and assumed names, which, when called at 
the rendezvous, met with no rcsjionse. One officer reported three 
hundred and eighty-nine enlistments, of which number more than 
two hundred had deserted almost immediately on receiving their 
bounties, This was an exceptional case, but it Wdn too nearly 
paralelled by the returns and must'^r rolls of many of our Congres- 
sional Districts. 

It is not supposed that Indiana atforded special facilities for the 
successful prosecution of this infamous business, nor is it believed 
that our State was visited by so great a number of this class of 
"recruits" as other Slates where bounty money was more lavishly 
disbursed. But that tbcy came here in immense numbers is an 
established fact, and it is not less certain that several thousand 
names on our muster-rolls were but the various aliases of these 
scoundrels, some of whom succeeded in enlisting as many as 
twenty times, and, of course, secui'ed that number of bounties, 
which would amount to about eight thousand dollars net gain. 

Thieves of every class found in the bounty jumping business 
agreeable employment. The danger of detection and punishment 
was less than in their usual criminal pursuits, while the proceeds of 
their operations required no after process to. convert them into 
available funds. 

The business of substitute brokerage, and filling the quotas of 
delinciuent districts on contracts was extensively and successfully 
prosecuted. Many of the parties who engaged in this business 
amassed considerable fortunes in a few weeks. Some of them„ 
doubtless, owed tjieir astonishing success to complicity wi4:h the 



SPECIAL PKKMllJ.AJS FOR KECKUITS. 71 

l)ounty-jnmper8. Gross neglect of duty on the part of some recruit- 
ing odicers, if not collusion and division of spoils between tlieni 
and their absconding recruits, greaily facilitated the business and 
enhanced the difficulties attending its suppression. 

The most stringent measures were adopted* to arrest an evil 
which not only involved the squandering of vast sums of money 
on the worst species of criminals, and the consequent encourage- 
ment of a most heinous crime, but threatened the indefinite protrac- 
tion of the w^ar and jeopardized the ultimate success of the Union 
cause by tilling regimental rolls with a formidable array of names 
which represented no corresponding force and were as useless for 
all practical purposes as if they had been copied from obsolete, 
directories. 

Colonel A. J. Warner, Seventeenth Regiment V. R. C. com- 
manding the Post of Indianapolis, and the officers and men of his 
command, applied themselves in the most energetic and determined 
manner to the work of detecting and arresting this class of desert- 
ers. A large prison was prepared for their reception and a strcnig 
guard placed about it. Numerous squads were collected, manacled 
together and sent to different commands in the field where they 
generally embraced the first opportunity of deserting again, often 
joining rebel guerrilla bands, thus affording another illustration of 
the well known fact that the effective force of our army was little 
increased by the unpenitentiaried convicts and scoundrels who were 
so freely enlisted. Men, who had characters and self-respect to 
maintain, did the fighting and won the victories. 

A number of the worst bounty jumpers were tried by court 
martial, and three who were convicted of repeated desertions were 
publicly shot on the parade grounds near Camp Morton. The 
severe measures adopted, ultimately suppressed the evil in this 
State by convincing those engaged in the business that the prospect- 
ive gains were not commensurate with the inevitable risks.

jDenses while engaged upon recruiting duty, the General Govern- 
ment, through the Provost Marshal General, (circular of October 
24th, 1863,) authorized the payment of premiums from the draft 
and substitute fu.nd for the presentation of accepted recruits for or- 
ganizations whose terms would expiree in 1864 and 1865, as 
follows : 

For a " veteran " recruit $25 00 

For a '• raw " recruit la Oi> 

Colonel Conrad Baker, Act. Assistant Provost Marshal General 
for this State, in the exercise of the discretion allowed by instruc- 
tions from the Provost Mashal General, did not offer or pay any 
premiums under the above mentioned authority up to the 16lh of 
November, 1863, when it was agreed between Colonel Bakkr and 
(lovernor Morton, that the best and most equitable policy would 
be for the Governor to offer a premium of $6 for each accepted re- 
cruit for either new or old organizations, payable to the recruiting 
officer, the understanding being that the ))remiums authorized by 
the Provost Marshal General should be appropriated to the pay- 
ment of said $6 premiums. In this way, it was thought a 
sum could be derived from the premiums authorized to be paid for 
recruits for old organizations, sufficient to pay the reduced premi- 
ums for all organizations. The premium being a reward to the 
recruiting officer and not to the soldier, it was apparent that the 
object in view, to raise wen, would be more certainly accomplished 
if no distinctions were made. It must be borne in mind that the 
regulations of the Provost Mashal General did not authorize any- 
thing to be paid for enlisting men for the new regiments. The 
plan of the Governor and Acting Assistant Provost Marshal Gen- 
eral was, therefore, intended to equalize the premiums so that all 
who were engaged in recruiting would share alike. While it was 
of the highest importance that the ranks of the o/d organizations 
should be filled, it was soon demonstrated that this end could not 
be fully accomplished by ofl'ering a special premium to recruiting 
officers. The men who were willin-g to volunteer generally pre- 
ferred new regiments to old oiufs, and the Government was in no 
situation to refuse to accept them ; in fact, while every effort w' as 
being made to fill up the old organizations, calls were made for 
new ones, and recruiting officers were as much in need of funds to 
pay their expenses and as compensation for their trouble in the one 
case as in the other. 



PLAN OF PAYfNC PKKMIUMS. 73 

The plan to reduce the premiums to the uniform sum of -"irG, and 
apply it to all was accordingly proposed to the Provost Marshal 
General and assented to by that officer. On the 16th of Novem- 
ber, 1863, the Governor issued a circular to the following purport: 
All duly appointed recruiting officers for the new Indiana regi- 
ments (including colored troops) and all non-commissioned officers 
and privates duly detailed to recruit for old Indiana regiments 
and batteries — and none others — were entitled to a special pre- 
mium of 86, for each man enlisted by them and duly accepted 
and mustered into the military service of the United States, The 
money was paid by the Governor from State funds in his hands, 
upon duplicate rolls carefully made up, properly receipted by the 
parties entitled to the premiums, and certihed by the mustering 
and other officers having charge of the recruiting service. 

The payment of the premiums was at first limited to tiie 20tii 
of December, 1863, but the quota not being filled by that time, 
payment was extended and made applicable to the same class of 
recruits up to the 5th of February, 1864, when Colonel Bakeh, 
Acting Assistant Provost Marshal General, received positive orders 
to ofler to citizens and enlisted men a reward or premium of 82o 
for each veteran recruit, and 815 for each new recruit presented 
and accepted for old organizations only. 

At this time there had been enlisted for old regiments and bat- 
teries under the first arrangement, 3,241 "raw" recruits and 45 
"veteran" recruits, the premiums for the same at 815 and 825 
each, amounting to the sum of 849,740. The Governor had also, 
through recruiting officers and agents appointed by him, recruited 
a much larger number of men for neiv organizations, and had paid 
for all alike the premium of 86. The plan worked well and proved 
to be a most effective means of recruiting. 

After the 5th of February, the Governor continued to pay 86 for 
each recruit presented, accepted and mustered into new regiments; 
between that date and the 1st of May, 1864, premiums for recruits 
for old organizations were paid through the Provost Marshal Gen- 
eral's Department at the advanced rate, as aforesaid. The wisdom 
of the Governor's course in continuing the payment of the 86 pre- 
mium was manifcteted in the number of recruits raised for the new 
regiments — no less than 8,505 recruits having been obtained for 
them under this plan. Upon final adjustment of the matter, it 
was ascertained that 11,791 recruits had been raised — the pre- 



74 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

Miiams paid by the Governor for the same amounting to 879,746. 
Of this amount, the United States through the disbursing officer 
at Indianapolis, refunded on the 8th of September, 186-1, the sum 
of -f49,704. Leaving still due the State $20,006, for wiiich reim- 
bursement is claimed from the United States. 

With the above exception, no premiums or bounties were oliered 
or paid by the State. Local bounties, (paid by counties, townships 
and cities,) were an important inducement in recruiting volunteers, 
as has been fully described in a separate article on that subject 
in another part of this volume. 



RECRUITING FOR THE REGULAR ARMY FROM THE 
VOLUNTEER FORCES. 

Notwithstanding the very large number of recruits raised for the 
regular army in this State, during the years 1861--2, and the en- 
couragement given by the State authorities to this branch of the 
recruiting service, the War Department, on the 9th of October, 
1862, undertook to complete all regular army organizations by en- 
listing the required number from the volunteers. There was no 
law for this remarkable proceeding, and no reason for it except that 
it was a short and easy way of accomplishing the end for which a 
host of regular officers had for months and months been detached 
at recruiting stations in all the principal cities and k)wns in the 
northern States. The regular army not being able to till its own 
ranks, Avas to be allowed to deplete or break down the ranks of the 
volunteers. Such a plan was outrageous and unjust to the States, 
to the volunteer officers, and to the men whose transfer it was thus 
sought to obtain. Its tendency was to undo all that had been 
done ; to destroy the eflbrts and influence of the Governors ; hum- 
ble the pride of the States in their troops, and render necessary the 
muster-out or consolidation of all the skeleton organizations that 
might be left after the depleting process had performed its work. 
While the order only authorized the enlistment of volunteers, with 
their own consent — for either three years or for the remaining por- 
tion of the period of three years which they might have to serve, 
at their option — no leave to recruit was asked or required of regi- 



PROTEST OF THE «)Vi;KNOR, 75 

mental orcoinpany.coiimiaiulersjbut the regular army recruit iiiii^ ofli- 
cers were permitted, no matter where the voluttteer^ were serving, or 
however important their duties might be — even when in faee of 
the enemy — to enlist all who were dissatisfied with their officers or 
with the volunteer service, without regard to consequences. As 
un inducement, promotion to commissions ia the regnhir army was 
licld out l)v the order. The recrmiting officers, however, were not 
at all particular about the kind of promises they made, or whetiuT 
they were covered by the order or not: furloughs were promised 
for thirty days, and it was given out in many cases that infantry 
volunteers would be allowed to enter the regular cavaky or artil- 
l(My ; that they would remain in northern cities, or at posts on re- 
cruiting or guard duty, free from the deprivations and dangers in- 
cident to the field; that increased pay and allowance woidd be 
given, and especially that the pay would be more regular and cer- 
tain, the clothing and subsistence of better quality and issuetl iu 
iajger quantities than to volunteers. 

The demoralizing effect of these attempts wpon the gallant troops 
then in service may be easily imagined. Complaints came pouring 
in from all the officers whose commands were endangered by these 
" attacks from the regulars,-' and the Governor was earnestly en- 
treated to use all his influence to cause the obnoxious order to be 
rescinded. Fully impressed with the danger, discontent and de- 
moralization, as well as the outrageous injustice that would grow- 
out of this ill-advised and distasteful system of recruiting, he sent 
tiie following j)rotest to the Secretary of War : 

ExKCUTivK Depaktmext of Indiana. 

Indianapolis, October 29, 1862. 
Han. E. M. Stanton, Set^vetary of Wai\ Washington City : 

Sir : The late order of tbe War Department, allowing officers of the rogulai 
army to recruit from voluntt'or regiments, is becoming a serious inconvenience, 
and is a great emb;irrassment to officers of the volunteer corps -who have spent con- 
.siderable time and money in raising their regiments, and have labored hard to en- 
force discipline and make them efficient. 

I feel a deep interest in the prosperity, welfare anil success of Iiidiaaij> regi- 
ments, and do not desire to see them unnecessarily embarrassed and deprived of 
men to whose services they are justly entitled by every right of justice and law. 

Many men are dissatisfied with the service, and if you attempt to compel them to 
sfo their duty, they threaten to re-enlist in the regular army, and my oflicers are- 
fonstantly appealing to me to call your attention to these facts, and request that thc^ 
order be rescinded. No other one thing is creating so pernicious an influence oia 
the army as this,'and 1 do trust that you will find it«onsistent of set the order aside. 

Bv order oi' the Governor: W. K. Holloway. Private Secretary. 



76 ADJGTANT GENERAL's REPORT. 

Attempts to recruit from the volunteers were, iiot confined alone 
to regiments in the field. Recruiting officers swarmed around posr 
hospitals, and by brilliant promises and false representations pro- 
eiared many convalescents and hospital atendants, of the volunteers, 
to enlist as regulars. In November, 1862, when the camps of ren- 
dezvous at Indianapolis contained a large number of volunteers 
who were rapidly being organized for the field, a heavy onslaught 
was made by the regulars to obtain recruits. The order of the War 
Department being in full force, its execution could not be resisted, 
but the Governor determined it should not be enforced in his camps 
by means of a wilful misrepresentation of facts. He therefore 
addressed the following communication to the Superintendent of 
the United States" Recruiting Service for Indiana: 

^'Executive Depautment of Indiana, 
'• Indianapolis, November 25111, 1862. 

'• Colonel H. B. CaurinGtTON, Superintendent United States Eectuitmg Service for 
Indiana : 

" Sir — Tim practice of allowing United States recruiting officers to recruit from 
%'oluntoer regiments, now about reaxly to take the field, is cleuLoraliziug aud detri- 
mental to the public service in the highest degree. I most earnestly protest against 
it. It is the invariable rule of these officers, I am informed, to hold out false in- 
ducements aud misrepresent facts to secure recruits. In some Instances volunteers 
who have left their regiments and joined regular companies have, after discovering 
the frauds practiced upon them, returned and desired to be reinstated in their 
original places with the volunteers. 

" I regard the wliole matter as a great outrage, and if continued it will, I fear, 
greatly retard the movement of troops now under marching orders. Your iuunedi- 
ate consideration wiU greatly oblige, 

*' Very respectfully, 

'• Your obedient servant, 

" O. P. Morton, 
*' Governor of Indiana." 

The fal.i,e impressions which had been, or were attempted to be, 
made were removed from the minds of those upon whom they were 
intended to operate by the prompt publication of the following 
announcement: 

HEADQUAIiTKRS GENERAL RECRUITING SERVICE, 

Indianapolis, Inc., November 25th, 1862. 
Being assured that improper representations have been made to induce enlisted 
volunteers to change to the regular service, and that m«ch dissatisfaction prevails 
in regiments on the eve of their departure for the field, on account thereof the fol- 
lowlRg stateiiient will correct such njisreprescntations as have been reported:

furnish insubordinate soldiers an outlet of escape from penalties incurred, or as a 
vent to ill-will against officei's wlio bat did their dwty. 

It is especially important, just now, that the ranks of the battalions about Ko

or l)e content to remain with their old comrades and the officers who have recruited 
flu'ir companies. 

Henky B. Carkington, 
Colonel 18tu Infantry, U. S. A., Chief Mustering Officer, Indiana. 

Finally, on the lOth of February, 1863, the War Department it- 
self became sati^^lied that the regular army ought not to be susf- 
taiiied by thi.s plan of recruiting, the progress of the war having 
made the fact plain that if the rebellion was ever put down it 
must be done by the gallantry and overwhelming smmbers of the 
volunteer soldiery of the country. All orders authorizing the en- 
listment of volunteers in the regular army were, therefore, re- 
scinded. 



HANCOCK'S FIRST ARMY CORI'S. 

On the 28th of INovember, 18G4, an order was issued by the 
War Department for raising and organizing twenty thousand in- 
fantry under command of Mt^jor General Winfii-:i.d S. Haxcock. 
\). S. A., to be enlisted for not less than one year, to be designali'd 
ihe First Army Corps, and to be completed in the District of Colum- 
bia within one month from the ist day of December. The |)rivates 
were to consist only of able-bodied veterans who had served hon- 
orably, not less than two years, and therefore not subject to the 
draft; the officers to be commisioned by the President from such 



78 ADJUTANT general's REi'ORT. 

as had honorably served not less than two years. The details ae- 
s.^ompaiiying the order required each recruit to be first examined 
by the Surgeon of the Board of Enrollment, then to present him- 
self to any United States District Provost Marshal, who, if the 
applicatit appeared to be qualified, would furnish a free transporta- 
tion pass to Washington, where th.e recruit would be duly enlisted 
vmd mustered into service. Each recruit was entitled to a special 
boiuity of $300 at the time of muster in; also the regular govern- 
ment bounty payable in installments, as ailov/ed to other troops, 
and was required to be credited to the district in which he resided, 
which of course would entitle him to sucii local bounty as the 
locality to which he wa.s credited was paying at the time. 

These orders w'ere forwarded to Governor Morton on the 5th of 
December, and his co-operation and influence requested in recruit- 
ing veterans for the Corps. 

It s(;ems a little strar)ge, vrith all the experience gained by the 
War Department in raising enormous armies during the three first 
years of the war, such an embarrassing requirement should have 
()een made, in the order already described, as compelled the recruit 
to take all the trouble upon himself of being examined by a medi- 
cal officer and the Provost Marshal, and then to go all the way to 
Washington at his own expense, except transportation, before he 
could be enlisted and mustered — with the possible chance, after all, 
that he might be finally rejected. The veterans, whom it was de^ 
sired to recruit, did not all live at the same places wh'jre the Pro- 
vost Marshals' offices were located. This involved travel, and 
perhaps detention at headquarters, for a day or two, to be exam- 
ined, and all this at the soldier's own expense. Then should he 
1)6 accepted upon arrival at Washington, his local bounty would 
remain unadjusted, and he would be in danger of being cheated 
r.ut of it, or at least charged heavily to get it, besides (it is a sup- 
posable case), should the cars fly the track and maim him while en 
route to the "District of Columbia," it is not likely that he would 
then be received into the service at all, or that the Government 
would pay him a pension, or that he could even get a "free trans- 
portation pass" back to his home. Soldiers of two years service 
were not, as a general rule, cither laclcing in shrewdness or indiffer- 
ent to their own interests. A.t the time the effort was made to 
raise the Corps, it will be remembered that there was no ditficulty 
anywhere in finding opportunities to enlist in nev7 or old regiments. 



COLORED TROOPS. ~9 

The only differpiico was in tlie special bounty ofl'ered by Die Corps, 
and this in most cases was cloubtIe;?s overbalanced by the exlra 
trouble involved, and the preference most recruits had for new 
regiments, where the chances of promotion, especially to veterans, 
were better, and where they wouhl be associated with friends and 
acquaintances of their old neighborhoods. It will thus be seen 
that tiie proposed plan was about as objectionable and embarrass- 
ing as it could well have been made. 

The objections above mentioned were apparent to the Governor 
as soon as he read the order, but he very cheerfully consented to 
do what he could to encourage recruiting under the proposed plan. 
At the same time he suggested his doubts to the Secretary of War, 
of the success of the movement, and offered to raise two regiments 
of veterans for the Corps, if permitted to recruit and organize^ 
them in the same way other regiments were recruited in this 8tate. 
This offer was rejected. The time for enlisting the Corps ^^as 
extended, and about the middle of February, 1865, the order \\as 
so modified as to permit recruits to be mustered at Indianapolis 
before being forwarded to Washington. Recruiting continued in 
an unsuccessful way until the surrender of Lee. The reports on 
hie in this office show that only one hundred and sixty-eight men 
were raised for the Corps in this State. 



COLORED TROOPS. 

When the determination was first announced by the Government 
to organize colored troops, (May, 1^*03,) the state of [)ublic feeling 
in the West was not altogether favorable to the em|)loyment ol' 
that class of persons as soldiers. A number of officers in Indiana 
regiments had already resigned on account of their hostility to the 
President's Proclamation of Freedom to the enslaved, and the i)reju- 
dices of years against the colored man were revived and in(iam(Ml 
whenever they could be aroused by the influence and argumenis of 
those citizens whose political importance had always been subser- 
vient to the slave power. The Indiana troops, however, stood fasi 
and evinced in the strongest form their desire to \nit down the 
rebellion with the assistance of any means consistent withcivihzed

warfaie ; though many, no doubt, who deserted in 1862-3 were 
induced to do so by their pretended friends at home on the ill-founded 
pretext that the war was a " nigger war"- — " to free the niggers'' — 
"to elevate the nigger and make hini equal to the white mafl," etc. 
But the excitement in regard to the proclamation and the order for 
enlisting colored troops raged mostly among those who were not 
in the army and took no part in the war except by endeavoring to 
weaken ihe power of the Government and by giving their sympatliy 
to the rebellion. Public opinion, however, rapidly strengthened on 
the negro question, and it was not long until all mater'al opposition 
to the employment of colored troops was narrowed down to those 
who, no matter what was done to carry on tiie war, doggedly and 
determinedly maintained their hostility to the full extent their per- 
sonal safety would adujit. 

Referring to the Einancipaticn Proclamation, Governor Mortox, 
in liis annual message, January, 1863*, used the following language : 

" The President has issued his proclamation, offei'ing freedom to slaves held in 
certain of the rebellious States. It remains to be seen what effeet this proclama- 
(.ion will have in suppressing tlie rebellion; but whether it be effectual or not, for 
the purpose for which it was intended, the authority upon which it was issued is 
beyond question. 

'• If the rebels do not desire the Government of the Uiiited Slates to Interfere 
with their slaves, let them cease to employ them In the prosecution of the war. They 
should not use them to build fortifications, manage their baggage trains, jKU-lorm all 
the labor ol" the camp and theimarch, and above all, to raise provisions ujion which 
to subsist their armies. If they employ the institution of slavery as an Instrument 
of war, like otiier instruments of war, it Is subject to destruction. Deprive them of 
slave labor, and three-fourths of the men composing their armies would be compelled 
to return honie to raise tbod upon which to subsist themselves and families. If they 
arc permitted to retain slave labor, they are enabled to maintain their armies in 
great force, and to destroy that force we are compelled to shed much of our best 
blood. Ivct us not be more tender of their property than we are of our blood." 

These sentiments were generally reechoed by the people of tlie 
State who favored a vigorous proecution of the war, but no effort 
was made to raise colored troops to be credited upon our quotas 
until the oOth of November, 1863, when, in reply to an application, 
the War Department authorized the Governor to raise a battalion 
or regiment under the regulations governing the colored branch of 
the service. He had requested this authority, not so much because 
our colored citizens were anxious to enter the service, as for the

reason that the State had been and was overrun witli rcc-niiting 
agents representing other States, and he had found it necessary, t(.) 
prevent the men from being enticed away and credited elsewhere, 
to issne an order, (November 5th, I860,) warning all persons so (Mr- 
gaged to desist from procuring substitutes or further enlistmenia, 
under penalty of being aiTcsted and summarily punished. (3rders 
for recruiting the colored regiment or battallion were promulgated 
on the od of December, and a Cimip of rendezvous established at 
Indianapolis, with WiLL,iAi\i P. Fishback, Esq., as commandant. 
Six companies were raised aggregating five hundred and eighteen 
enlisted men. The battalion was afterwards recruited up to a full 
reginient in Maryland, and vs'as known as the Twenty-eighth 
United States Colored.* 

Under the calls of July and December, 1HG4, a number of colored 
substitutes were furnished by drafted men in this State, and for- 
warded to colored regiments in the field. The total number of 
colored men raised in the State is rejiorted by the Provost Marshal 
General at one thousand five hundred and thirty-seven, though 
probably not over eight hundred were credited upon our quotas — 
the balance having been recruited by other States as before ex- 
plained. 



VETERAN RESERA^E CORPS. 

One of the peculiar features of the war, was the organization 
known as the Invalid Corps, afterwards the Veteran Reserve Corps. 
No similar organization is to be met with in history. The idea 
contemplated in the formation of this Corps was to give emph)y- 
ment in military duty to all soldiers who had been by the casualties 
of the service rendered physically unable to endure the fatigues and 
hardships of active campaigning in the field. 

During the early months of the war, indeed, during nearly the 
whole of the first two years, the percentage of soldiers disabled 
and discharged on account of sickness was unusually large. Both 
otlicers and men were destitute of the knowledge, gained only by

experience, as to the means necessary to preserve health under the 
novel and arduous duties of military life. The Medical Officers too, 
were compelled to work under great embarrassment in this new 
field, and the hospital accommodations of the army were fear- 
fully limited. Then there was an impression abroad, in both pub- 
lic and official circles, that there v/ere more men in the field than 
were needed to bring the war to a close, and that the interests of 
the country demanded the discharge of all men who were disabled 
from severe and active duty. Thus a very lax system of discharges 
was adopted, which resulted in thinning, the ranks of early regi- 
ments to an alarming extent. To form some idea of the extreme 
to which this depleting process was carried, reference may be had 
to an order issued in July 1862 by General Buell, conmianding 
the Army of the Ohio, concerning the absentees from his command, 
in which he stated that one fourth of his army was absent from 
the field, the greater portion of the absentees being in hospitals, or 
at home on sick furloughs, and he directed that there should be a 
muster in every regiment on the 18th of August and all meo 
absent at that time were to be discharged. 

Similar orders were issued by other commanders and were so far 
carried into effect that, by the end of the year 1862 more than one 
third of the men of the regiments of 1861, were out of the service. 
The number of officers discharged was also very large, as but few 
of the resignations tendered were disapproved. 

The evils of these wholesale discharges soon became manifest, 
but though the whole system of discharge was afterward radically 
changed, so that not a single private soldier was released from 
service, except after the most thorough examination had shown his 
utter unfitness for military duty, yet great mischief had already 
been done, and thoughtful minds were busy in trying to devise 
expedients for repairing it as far as possible. The men and ofllcers 
thus discharged at the beginning of the struggle, were those who 
had enlisted without bounties when the first blow was struck, and 
were generally conspicuous in their respective communities for their 
patriotism and public spirit. For the most part they were not con- 
tent to remain idle spectators of the conflict, but were anxious to 
do whatever their strength would allow towards bringing the war 
to a close. In addition to these men, there v^^ere thousands of 
others in the hospitals and convalescent camps of the army who 
w'ere unfitted for active duty and awaiting discharges, who could

not be employed to any considerable extent on account of lack of 
organization and the possibility of being returned to their com- 
mands when their strength should be in some degree restored, even 
if it were only to be returned to the hospital again after a short 
time. 

It was to make available tiie services of the classes of men above 
metitioned, that the War Department determined upon tlie organi- 
zation of an Invalid Corps. The order for this purpose was issued 
April 28th 1863. The Corps was to be organized under the direc- 
tion of the Provost Marshal General and subject to his orders. 
Two battalions were to be formed ; the first, of men able to carry 
muskets and perform guard, garrison and general provost duties ; 
the second, of those capable of only the lightest duties, such as 
clerks, hospital attendants, etc. The first battalion was afterwards 
organized into regiments, but the second battalion never had any 
other than company organizations. 

Applicants for commissions in the new corps were required to 
be honorably discharged officers of the volunteer or regular forces, 
and were compelled to pass a rigid examination before a board of 
intelligent and experienced officers ; and they, as well as the en- 
listed men, were also carefully examined by competent surgeons as to 
their physical fitness. Though the disabled men were wanted, those 
who were incompetent for work were uniformly rejected. Recruit- 
ing ofiicers were appointed to re-enlist men for the corps from 
those who had been discharged from the service, and orders were 
sent to Medical Directors, directing the transfer of partially 
disabled men who were still carried on the rolls of their respective 
regiments. It is proper to state here, that the officers of the corps 
were nearly all drawn from those who had been discharged from 
the service, while very few enlisted men were obtained from that 
source. The reason for this is probably found in the fact, that 
credits for local bounties were not given for this class of recruits 
until a late day, and the men preferred — those who could be ac- 
cepted — enlisting in organizations where they could receive the 
benefit of the bounties. Enlisted men were, however, transferred 
from the troops in the field in large numbers. They were ex- 
amined as to their peculiar fitness for the duties required of the 
corps, and lists forwarded of such as were approved to the "War 
Department, and the transfers were made by General Orders from 
the Secretary of War, giving the name, rank and r(>giment of each. 



84 ADJUTANT general's EEPORT. 

man transferred. They were then dropped from the rolls of their 
regiments, and were subject only to the orders issued for their new 
commands. In some instances, when their strength became fully 
restored, they were re-transferred to their original regiments, 
though such instances were rare. The men traiisferred were en- 
titled to discharge at the expiration of the time of their original 
enlistment, and generally, when a regiment was mustered out of 
the service, the men who had been transferred from its ranks to the 
Veteran Reserve Corps were also entitled to discharge. After the 
close of the war, when regiments were discharged before their 
terms had expired, the transferred men were for a time held to the 
expiration of their original terms ; but this being manifestly unjust, 
brought forth innumerable complaints, and after repeated and 
urgent remonstrances from the State authorities the rule v^^as re- 
laxed, and the men were relieved from service whenever their 
original regiments were discharged, if they so desired. 

The magnitude of this corps and its importance to the couiitry, 
may be inferred from the fact that just before the surrender of Lep:, 
it comprised twenty-four complete regiments, and one hundred and 
fifty-three independent companies, numbering 764 commissioned 
officers and 28,738 enlisted men. These were nearly all men whose 
services would not have been available in any other way, and they 
did full duty; if not in the field, they relieved other troops from ser- 
vice in the rear, and enabled our commanders to use all their able- 
bodied soldiers at the front. The general duties of the corps con- 
sisted principally in guarding rebel prisoners, assisting the Provost 
Marshals in enforcing the enrollment and draft, arresting deserters, 
escorting recruits, drafted men and substitutes to the front, keeping 
order at home, and crushing conspiracies of rebel sympatliizers 
in the North, performing provost duties in northern cities, and 
guarding all kinds of Government stores and property. 

The regiments stationed at Indianapolis Vi^ere the Fifth, Colonel, 
•afterwards Brevet Brigadier General, A. A. Stevens, commanding; 
and the Seventeenth, Colonel, afterwards Brevet Brigadier General, 
A. J. Warner, commanding. They attained great perfection in 
drill, and in zeal and faithfulness were not probably surpassed by 
any troops engaged in similar duties. The Fifth had chaige of 
Camp Morton rebel prison, and the Seventeenth was assigned to 
general, provost and miscellaneous duty. The report of General

The corps continued in service until very nearly all the troops of 
the volunte.er army were discharged, the regiments on duty here 
being relieved December 1st, 1865. Many of the officers were, 
however, retained for duty in the border and Southern States un- 
der the Freedmen's Bureau. So successful was the corps in the 
discharge of its peculiar duties, that the system has been incorpor- 
ated into our regular army, and four of the regular regiments are 
now formed from men partially disabled, upon the same plan as 
the old organization, so that the Government is able to give 
honorable and useful employment to many of its maimed and 
disabled heroes, and the Veteran Reserve Corps has not become 
a thing of history merely, but will probably be a valuable and vital 
element in the armies of the nation for years to come. 



APPOINTMENTS AND PROMOTIONS. 

APPOINTMENTS IN NEW ORGANIZATIONS. 

The duty of appointing field, staff and line officers for the vol- 
unteer force, under the three montlis' call, and under the calls 
which resulted in the formation of a number of regiments for one 
and three years, prior to July 22d, 1861, devolved upon the Gov- 
ernor, under orders of the President and the laws of the United 
States regulating the militia.f 

On the 22d of July an Act was passed by Congress, "to author- 
ize the employment of Volunteers to aid in enforcing the laws and 
protecting public property," which expressly conferred upon the 
Governors of States power to commission all regimental and com- 
pany officers required for the volunteers raised in their respective 
States, which power was continued until the close of the war. 

When the vast interests at stake in the organization of the vol- 
unteer army are considered, involving the life and honor of the 
nation, the welfare and good fame of the State furnishing the

86 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

troops, and the individual well being of the volunteers themselves, 
the importance and responsibility connected with the exercise of 
the appointing power will be seen to have been very great. 

In Indiana, at the commencement of the war, there were but few 
men of any military skill or experience. The Mexican war, in 
which we were represented by only five regiments, whose term of 
service was one year, furnished a number of officers and men 
whose previous service in the field, though limited, was of much 
value, and whose example, in promptly responding to the call of 
the Government, gave great encouragement to the loyal cause. 

Aside from this element, and, perhaps half a dozen graduates 
of the West Point Military Academy, the material for officers was 
wholly raw and inexperienced. For twenty-five years ])rcceding 
the war, there had been no regularly organized militia, and conse- 
quently no benefits could be derived from that source, in the expe- 
rience of either officers or men. Military instruction on the parade 
ground, and in our schools and colleges, had received no attention. 
At any time, and under the most favorable circumstances, the 
selecliou and appointment of military officers is responsible and 
difficult; but especially so when the force to be officered is com- 
posed of volunteers, rapidly raised, and intended for immediate 
service. Time can not be taken to educate and qualify, by thorough 
drill and discipline, the persons who may be designated to com- 
mand, and the only course that can be pursued in such a contin- 
gency is to select clear-headed, honorable men, whose patriotism 
may prompt them to become soldiers, trusting to the future to de- 
velope, by active service, the qualities that go to make up the suc- 
cessful commander. The judgment of the appointing power is 
taxed heavily; but as the judgment of every one, when compelled 
to estimate the untried abilities and fitness of others, is greatly de- 
pendent upon and influenced by recommendations, importunities? 
and surrounding circumstances, the liability to make mistakes is 
enhanced immensely. Touching this matter, Governor Mortoiv, 
in his anuual message of 1865, made the following remarks : 

"The duty of appointing officers fo command our regiments is full of responsi- 
bility and embarrassment. I have commissioned many whom I did not know, and 
for whose fitness I was compelled to rely entirely upon the opinion of others. But 
it affords me gratification to state that the Indiana officers, as a body, have been 
found equ-vl to those of any other State ; tliat they have, upon every battle field, 
sustained the great cause, and shed lustre upon the flag under which they fought. 



THE ELECTIVE PRINCIPLE. 87 

Many have been appointed to Iiigh commamLs, in wliicli they have acquitted tliom- 
selves witli tlic greatest honor and ability, and very many have nobly laid <l()\vn 
their lives in battle for their country." 

Under the liberal ideas which prevail in this country, and the in- 
dependent .spirit which animates all classes of citizens from which 
the armies of the republic are drawn, the views and wishes of the 
volunteers regarding their own officers, must to a certain degree, 
and very properly, be consulted. The elective principle, always 
popular and in harmony Vvdth the spirit of our laws and institu- 
tions, is, in this country, when applied to selections for official 
station, most in favor; and, under circumstances liite those exist- 
ing in Indiana at the outbreaking of the rebellion, the application 
of this principle, in the selection of company officers at least, is 
perhaps the safest that could be adopted. At a time when all 
stand upon the same level as to military experience, elections give 
assurance of fairness azid impartiality which can alone satisfy the 
expectation and demands of such a people as ours. 

In the organization of our forces, the Governor, from the com- 
mencement, recognized the justice of giving due consideration to 
the preferences of the men when expressed either by election or 
petition, yet he never yielded his right and duty to make different 
selections if, in his own judgment, the public interests would be 
benefitted thereby. In 1861, the general plan above described was 
mainly pursued, though in a number of cases gentlemen were 
authorized to raise companies and regiments with the understand- 
ing that thev would be coiumissioned \o command them. 

The most .successful and satisfactory plan, and one that w^as 
adopted after a few regiments had been raised, was to call for a 
regimeiit from a particular locality, generally a Congressional Dis- 
trict, and appoint a commandant to supervise the recruitment of 
the same, expressly stipulating, however, that such aj)pointment 
did not confer the right to a commission to command the force 
when completed, but leaving the selection of officers open vmtil the 
time for organization arrived. In this way all the material of 
companies and regiments was developed and opportunity was tlius 
afforded to select the most worthy, the rule being to officer each 
regiment from its own members, or from those engaged in recruit- 
ing it, if cpjalified and fit persons could be found therein. The 
claims of those who performed the labor and incurred the expense 
of raising the troops, were never intentionally overlooked^ their

statidiiig and qualifications being taken into consideration. Their 
etlbrts and influence, and the outlay of lime and money necessa- 
rily incurred, entitled them to this consideration at the hands of 
the Executive. 

The following statistics in this connection Vvill be interesting: 
The whole number of commissions issued during the war by 
Governor Morton was 18,884. Of these 6,243 w^ere original ap- 
pointments made upon the organization of regiments and batteries 
for the volunteer service; 9,187 were promotions to fill vacancies in 
the same service; 3,159 were appointments in the Indiana Legion; 
and 295 were appointments of officers of the draft of 1862. 
Reference is hereby made to the statistical "table of commissions 
issued," published in the appendix of this volume.* 

APPOINTMENTS TO HLL VACANCIES, 

But few vacancies occurred in commissioned ofiicers until the 
cold weather of 1861 set in^^ which brought in its train much ex- 
posure and hardship and induced disease to an extent not hitherto 
known in our army. These causes and a somewhat rigid enforce- 
ment of the law of Congress,! authorizing department and army 
commanders to appoint examining boards " to investigate the 
capacity, qualifications, propriety of conduct and efficiency of com- 
missioned ofiicers," created many vacancies, and it became neces- 
sary, therefore, for the Governor to adopt rules for filling the same. 
As in cases of original appointment, there was no law or authori- 
tative regulation applicable to volunteers on this subject, and the 
limited experience gained in the w^ar up to that lime afforded but 
little light in devising rules of promotion which would in a just and 
satisfactory way meet the variety of cases constantly occurring. 

In filling vacancies the good af the service was of course the first 
paramount object to be attained. The rights of officers, non-com- 
missioned officers and privates still serving with the command in 
wduch a vacancy existed and the Itarmony so essential to efiicient 
service, were also important points. But there were difficulties in 
always getting an exact and fair understanding of the situation of 
afl'airs in the command so as to enable the Governor to know how 
the public interest could be best advanced, or the rights of officers 
and men most surely protected, which made his duty in these re-

PllOMOTIONS IN ''regular LINE." 89 

spects extremely delicate and often awkardly embarrassing. The 
arbitrary rule of promotion observed in the regular army — seniority 
in rank without reference to companies — can not, for ^'ariotis and 
obvious reasons, be made applicable to our volunteers. Our com^ 
panics are raised usually from separate counties, and regimenis are 
formed as nearly as practicable from the troops of neighboring 
counties. The men generally Ivnow each other and are acquainted 
with their oflicers, either personally or by reputation. Their organ- 
izations are homogeneous and they expect to stand or fall together. 
To change this status when vacancies occur in the field by appoint- 
ing or promoting outsiders, or strangers, with whom they have no 
acquaintance or affiliation, ignoring entirely the claims of all who 
belong to the particular company or command in which the vacancy 
exists; or by "jumping," as it was called, one not in tiie line of 
promotion over one "in the line" entitled to be advanced, would 
be productive of the greatest injury and demoralization. The true 
rule of promotion then, it is assumed, is that each company and 
regimental organization is by right entitled to have all vacancies 
filled from its own members, j^rovided they possess the proper qual- 
ifications. In other words, vacancies should be filled by the pro- 
motion of the next officer in "the regular line" in each company, 
unless objections on account of incompetency, immoral habits, or 
unfitness be presented by the regimental officers; and vacancies in 
the field and staff" should be subject to the same rule*. 

From the outset Governor Mortox acted upon this rule, and its 
manifest justice and the general satisfaction it gave, warrants this 
explicit detail. Objections to it were frequently made and pixmio- 
tions insisted upon by officers, entirely at variance with its pro- 
visions. A general order was therefore issued on the 1st of January, 
1862,t and forwarded to all officers in the field clearly setting forth 
the .regulations which would govern promotions in the future. An 
additional order on the same subject, but somewhat more explicit? 
was issued January 25th, 1865|. 

A few days after the battle of Pittsburg Landing the attention 
of the Governor was called by a letter from Major General Halleck§ 

*Tlie Adjutant, Quartermaster and Commissary were not considered as bein;; in any lino of pro- 
motion and were not allowed to "jump" to positions in the field or line over otheis entitled, unless 
upon the recommendation of a majority of the oflicers of tbo command and special fituess beinj? 
shown. The Sergeant Major was in line of promotion for Adjutant, the Quartermastsr Seigeaat 
for Commissary, and First Sergeant for Second Lieutenant.

9G ADJUTANT GENERAL S REPORT. 

to the importance of promoting non-commissioned officers and 
privates to the vacancies created by recent battles. The General 
expressed regret that the Generals commanding had not the power 
to reward merit and bravery on the field, and appealed to the 
justice of the Governor, urging that " to reward service in the field 
by prompt prosnotion is one of the greatest incentives to individual 
action, as it is a special mark of personal merit." The Governor 
had visited the army in person frequently, and fully appreciated 
and concurred in General Halleck's suggestions. He therefore 
issued a circular* under date of April 23d, 1862, requesting general 
and field officers commanding Indiana regiments to report and 
recommend for promotion all commissioned officers, non-commis- 
sioned officers and privates who merited it by reason of gallant 
and distinguished conduct in any engagement with the enemy. 
Soch recommendations were made frequently, and aKvays met 
with favorable attention. 

In the month of September, 1863, it was shown by reports to 
this Department that a number of the first regiments raised were 
so much reduced as to have less than one hundred and fifty effective 
men eajch. Numerous vacancies existed, but promotions could not 
be made, however meritorious and deserving the men who were 
" in line of promotion" might be ; for the regulations would permit 
only a certain number of officers to be mustered when a command 
become reduced below its minimum. The Governor, therefore, 
proposed a plan to the War Department for recruiting for these 
regiments, which, if successfully carried out, would enable all 
vacancies to be filled, and at the same time add material strength 
to the army which was then so much needed. The proposition 
was favorably entertained by the General-in-Chief, and on the 7th 
of October, 1863, an order was issued through the War Depart- 
ment,! addressed to the Generals commanding the several military 
departments in which Indiana troops were serving, directing that 
there be detailed for recruiting from each company of the regi- 
ments designated by Governor Morton, one non-commissioned 
officer or private, and that said non-commissioned officer or pri- 
vate, if there be a vacancy for a commissioned officer in his com- 
pany, should be entitled to promotion on recruiting his company to 
the minimum standard. Eequisitions for these details were promply

PROMOTIONS FROM OLD REGIMENTS CHECKED. 91 

responded to by most of the old and worn-down regiments. The 
imen were stationed in different parts of the State, where their 
companies were originally formed, and succeeded in raising a large 
number of recruits. The plan was carried on through the winter 
of 1863--4 with much success, and enabled many energetic and 
worthy non-commissioned officers and privates to secure the pro- 
jmotion which they had so long desired. 

PROMOTIONS FROM o"L D TO NEW REGIMENTS. 

During the entire continuance of the war, the authorities of this 
State were engaged in recruiting troops, and new organizations 
were always in process of formation. The difficulty in making 
selections of officers for new regiments, from inexperienced and un- 
tried citizens, has already been alluded to. With the view of 
avoiding this difficulty, the Governor determined to avail himself 
of the ability and experience which the steady progress of the war 
had developed in officers and men belonging to the "old" regi- 
ments. Numerous promotions were thus made with good effect, 
and the new regiments thus officered were put in condition, through 
the efforts and knowledge of these experienced officers, to take the 
field in a comparatively short time. In furtherance of this plan, de- 
tails from old regiments were often requested by the Governor of 
commissioned and non-commissioned officers and privates, who 
had shown ability to assume higher positions, for the purpose of 
assisting in recruiting under new calls, with the intention of giving 
them increased rank. To such an extent were these promotions 
made, the Secretary of War, by direction of the President, on the 
14th of August, 1862, felt it to be necessary to issue an order, of 
which the following is an extract : 

" The exigencies of the service retiuire that officers now in the field should re- 
main with their commands, and no officer now In the field, In the regular or volun- 
teer service, will, under any circumstances, be detailed to accept a new command." 

This order completely checked the promotion of old officers, 
which had proved so advantageous in insuring early discipline and 
thorough drill to the new troops. The Governor made an earnest 
effort to have the order rescinded, but, as the following telegram 
from the Secretary of War will show, without success: 

" Our armies being in the face of the enemy, officers in the field can not be 
spared for any purpose. The same reason applies to absent officers ; It' fit fisr any 
duty, they should be with their commands, and not leave their men exposed o

danger without oflicers. If on detached duty, it must be porfornied. Tiie principle 
on which the order stands, is, that soldiers in the field require their officers' 
])!'esence." 

Thus matters rested until October following, when the present 
Adjutant General, then acting as Military Secretary, was des- 
patched to Washington, to urge upon the Grovernnient such a 
modification of the foregoing order as the demands of the service 
seemed to require. T[n-ongh this effort it was finally agreed by the 
War Department, tliat, in cases, where the fact was known to 
the Governor, that the condition of reginients would admit of 
officers being spared to accept new commissions, ])romotions might 
be made. This modification was all that was required, and pro- 
motions wcve made as before, at every convenient opportunity. 

PROMOTIONS IN MEDICAL STAFF. 

In the early stages of the rebellion, but little difficulty was expe- 
rienced in officering our regiments with Surgeons and Assistant 
Surgeons of the first-class in the profession. But after the lapse of 
about a year very considerable trouble was experienced in securing 
medical officers of established reputation and ability. The pres- 
sure for appointments from students, newly diploma-ized M. D.'s, 
and others whose opportunities for practice had been limited, was 
at all times very great. To Surgeons of standing, whose j)atri- 
otic imj)ulses led them to offer their services, or who thought of 
doing so, it became very plain, after the winter campaign of 1861- 
62, that the duties of a faithful Surgeon in the army were much 
more laborious than those devolving upon private practice at home ; 
and it was also thought that the pay allowed by the Government 
was, for the professional services of accomplished and experienced 
medical men, niggardly and inadequate. It is but fair to presume 
that the members of this profession are as patriotic and self-sacri- 
ficing as men of any other calling in life, but it is nevertheless 
true that a large majority of those who entered the service in the 
regiments of 1861-2, (much greater indeed than of any other mili- 
tary position in proportion to the number appointed,) did not re- 
main until the close of their terms. The general reason for this 
I think may be found in the fact that, however faithful and de- 
voted a Surgeon might be, there was no provision for promotio7i, 
and no hope for any.* In other branches of the service promotion 

'■'Assistant Surgeons might Ije, and frequently were, promoted to Surgeons, but tliat uas the 
extent. 



PROMOTIONS IN THE ARTILLERY DENIED. 03 

was gcneviilly sure and rapid, and it would be strange indeed if 
medical officers did not feel the same ambition for advancement in 
rank and pay as was imiversally felt by others. Another reason of 
perhaps nearly eqnal weight, wilh these officers, was the dangers 
that beset their own personal health. A Surgeon actively en- 
£rasred with volunteers — his friends and neighbors — in the field, if 
disposed to jierform his part, can never be idle; day and night, in 
bivouac, or on the march, and especially in battle, he must be very 
constantly at his post. The nature of his duties interdicts tlie 
granting of leave of absence to visit home, or recruit im])aircd 
healtii, to a much greater extent than the other officers; but doubt- 
less the principal cause of the many resignations and the jirevail- 
ing repugnance on the part of medical men of ability to entering 
the service, was the ungenerous policy of denying them promotion 
with increase of pay and emoluments equal to that of other jiosi- 
tions of like responsibility and importance. 

PROMOTIONS IN THE ARTILLERY- 

The officers of Batteries of Light Artillery furnish another 
striking instance of injustice in denying promotion. The War 
Departm.ent refused our State the |)rivilege of regimental organiza- 
tions for her light artillery, although tlie subject was often pressed 
and urged by the authorities upon the Government with great per- 
tinacity and earnestness. So our twenty-six batteries, comprising 
originally about four thousand men, were sent to the field without 
the hope or prospect of a single promotion, except such as might be 
given in filling company vacancies occasioned by the casualties of 
the service. These batteries bore a conspicuous and distinguished 
part in putting down the rebellion; many of them performed deeds 
of valor equal to any regiment that ever fought, but their officers 
were forced to content themselves with the modest rank of Cap- 
tains and Lieutenants. The Governor did what he could to reme- 
dy this by promoting, when opportunity offered, artillery ofiicers to 
higher places in new cavalry regiments, but the well-being of the 
batteries only allowed him to take this course in a few instances. 

Reference has been made to these inequalities in the hope that 
should another war unfortunately afllict our country, the great in- 
justice hinted at will not be repeated. 



94 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 



HONORARY MUSTERS. 

Notwithstanding the efforts of the Government, always heart- 
ly seconded by the Military Authorities of this State, to re- 
cruit old regiments and batteries to their maximum strength in 
preference to the formation of new organizations, many of the 
older commands during the last years of the war were reduced be- 
low their minimum strength. 

By the regulations of the War Department, framed with more 
regard to the economy of the service than the merits of individuals f 
such commands were not entitled to a full roster of officers. It 
was however the practice in this State to promote and commission 
meritorious officers to sach rank as they were entitled to in the 
regular line of promotion, without reference to the strength of their 
regiments or companies. Such commissions, though they might be 
of no practical advantage in securing increase of pay and emolu- 
ments, were regarded as a proper evidence of appreciation, a de- 
served mark of distinction and respect. 

At the close of the war while preparations were being made for 
the muster out of large numbers of volunteer otTicers with their 
commands. Governor Morton addressed a communication to the 
Secretary of War* earnestly requesting that all field and staff offi- 
cers then in the service, who had been promoted and commissioned 
to higher grades, but had not been mustered into such grades by 
reason of their regiments or companies being reduced below the 
minimum, should be so mustered in upon their said commissions 
at the date of their muster out. This would give them simply the 
rank to which, had their commands not been reduced below the 
miniriuim, they would have been entitled. 

It was urged, that while such a muster could furnish no claim for 
increase of pay or in any other manner affect the pecuniary rela- 
tions between the Government and the officers interested, it would 
be regarded by them as a grateful tribute of respect, an appropriate 
recognition of their faithful services in the suppression of the rebel- 
lion and the restoration of the Government. And it seemed no 
more than an act of simple justice, that officers, who had assumed 
the responsibilities and performed the duties of the offices to which 
they had been promoted, should have the titles, conferred by their 

'■'Appendix, Doc. No. 129. 



CREDITS FOR TROOPS FURNIa-HED. |)5 

commissions, eonfirmed by autliority of the GovernnieAl: in au 
honorary muster. 

The exceutiTe authorities of Illinois, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin 
and other States, whose co-operation was solicited, cordially ap- 
proved the suggestion of Governor Morton, and wrote to the 
Secretary of War recommending its favorable consideration. As 
it was confidently expected that the War Department would take 
favorable action in the matter, commanding officers of regiments 
and batteries were informed of the action of the Executive and 
requested to forward the usual recommendations; and upon receiv- 
ing these, all vacancies in field, staff and company offices were 
promptly filled by pron>otion. 

With the issue of these commissions however, the movement 
ended. The Secretary of War declined to order the honorary 
musters on the ground that such action might be held to justify the 
presentation of claims for extra pay and allowances and lead to 
troublesome complications. 

While this decision is to be regretted as having deprived many 
gallant officers of a proper record in the national archives of the 
rank to which they had really attained, it cannot deprive them of 
what is more valuable, the consciousness of having earned that 
record, nor can it lessen the esteem in which they are held by their 
late companions in arms, and they will have the further satisfaction 
of knowing that their rank and services are faithfully recorded 
in the military archieves of their own State. 



CREDITS FOR TROOPS FURNISHED. 

The War Department, (even after the war) did not give the 
State credit for the number of troops actually furni.<hed, and the 
most troublesome difficulties grew out of this failure at diflerent 
times during the war. No adjustment at all was attempted until 
the first draft was ordered in August 1862, and then, the settlement 
was arbitrary and incorrect, for it was afterwards shown that up to 
that time Indiana had an excess of 25,544 three years' men. The 
call was for nine months' men, and the quota 21,250, which being 
reduced to the three years' standard, only required 5.312 men, leav- 
ing the State still in excess 20,232 three years' men, applicable to 



t?b ADJUTANT GENERAL S REPORT. 

future callr5. The Governor was fully satisfied that a correct ac= 
counting would show that the State was largely in excess, but as a 
large number of townships were behind in furnishing their just pro- 
portion of men, the draft was submitted to as the easiest way to 
put on an equal footing all the sub-districts in the State.* 

After the passage of the Conscription Act- by Congress, in March 
1883, the War Department made an exhibit, from the rolls on file, 
which purported to show all the troops furnished by the State to 
the 26th of May 1863, crediting an excess of 24,978 three years' 
men, and charging 21,250 nine months' men (ecjual to 5,312 three 
years' men). Afterwards the Department admitted additional 
credits np to the 26th of May to the number of 5,279, making the 
total excess of credits at that date 24,945 three years' men. Prior 
to the 2nd of Sejitember 1862, no credits were given for enlistments 
in the regular army, and although no reports are accessable show- 
ing the number of regulars enlisted in this State up to that time, a 
fair eslinuite would fix it at not less than 3 000. This would give 
us an excess on the 26th of May 1863 of 27,945 three years' men — 
not including a large number enlisted in Kentucky, Illinois, New 
York and other States, for which no credit was allowed. 

The Conscription Act was doubtless a very important war 
measure, but the above exhibit makes its clear that its |)assage was 
not necessary to compel Indiana to furnish her quota of troops for 
the war; nevertheless it did a good work for us — it settled all for- 
mer credits and deficiencies, and gave us a starting point for the 
future. 

Until the 20th of October, 1863, all credits were given to the 
State at large; on and after that date they were assigned to town- 
ships or other sub-districts, according to the place of credit or resi- 
dence, as shown by the muster-in rolls. Then commenced the 
system of local bounties, which has already been explained in pre- 
ceeding pages. 

riRST SERIES OF VETERAN CREDITS. 

No further difficulty was met with in the settlement of credits 
between the State and General Government until the re-enlistment 
of veterans in the field in the winter of 1863-4 gave rise to fresh 
complications. The following doucument so fully explains these 
matters, it is inserted entire :

VETERAN RE-MUSTERS. 97 

Executive Depart jient op Indiana, 
Adjutant General's Ofeice, 

Indianapolis, iNIarcIi 4tli, 18(J]. 
Hon. John U. PeTtit, Speaker of the House of Representatives : 

Sir : In compliance with a resolution of the House of Representatives, passed 
Z^Iarch 1st, 18(15, I have the honor to report, as follows: 

The whole number of re-enlisted Veterans of Indiana volunteers authorized up 
to this date, to be passed to the credit ot the State on any of the calls of the Presi- 
dent for volunteers or drafted men, is 11,490. 

On the 8th of December, 1863, the War Department issued a circular instruct- 
ing the Commissaries of Musters, as follows: 

" Commissaries of Musters will cause to be entered upon the descriptive roll ot 
Veteran Volunteers, the residence of each man — giving the town, countv and 
State. The same data must also appear on the copy of the roll sent to the Adju- 
tant General of the State in which the men reside. The information must be 
])romptly furnished, as upon it credits of men to the respective States will be made. 
It is necessary to know the number for the respective towns and counties, so tl at 
the credits may be properly distributed through the State. The residences of nan 
remustered will, of course, determine the town and county to which they beloni:." 

The rolls of remuster of re-enlisted Veterans were received at the Adjutant 
General's Office of this State, between the first day of January and thirty-first day 
of August, 1864, except in the cases of the A^'terans of the Eleventh, Thirteenth 
Twenty-Fourth, Twenty-Sixth, Thirty-Fourtii, Forty-Sixth, Forty-Seventh and 
Sixtieth Eegiments, and Third Cavalry, wliicli were not received until after the 
draft had actually taken place under the call of July, 18th, 1864, and then thev 
were furnished by the Adjutant General U. S. A., War Department. Some of 
these rolls showed the residences of the men, and some contained no information 
on the subject. 

On the 5th of February, 1864, the Adjtitant General of the State received the 
following telegram : 

" Washington, 5th February, 1864. 
" Adjutant General Indiana: 

'• From reports thu? far received, I fear that mustering officers in the field have 
not fully complied with their instructions of December 8th, 186-3, in reference to 
localities to which re-mustered veterans should be credited. Therefore, with the 
view of comparing records, and to insure prompt and correct crediting of men. I 
respectfully request that you will consult your records of re-mustered veteran 
ti-oops, and those of the organizations returned to and arriving in the State, on fur- 
lough, and make therefrom a report of the numbers to be credited to the rcspeclive 
locaUties. Please forward the report to me March 1st, and let it embrace all re- 
musters reported to you prior to that date. 

[Signed,] " Thomas M. Vincent, Assistant Adjutant General " 

The report required was not completed by March 1st, but further time being 
given, it was transmitted April 16th, 1864, and embraced all re-musters reported to 
the Adjutant General prior to that date. The report showed the following credits, 
to the Congressional Districts in this State : 



First District 1060

All these reports were made up from the rolls of the re-mustered veterans, and 
.showed in the aggregate 9,193 entitled to be credited to the State, and 187 to other 
States. Of the former, 7,672 were credited to localities within the State, and 1,540 
being reported as having no residence on the rolls, were considered as credited to 
the State at large. These did not, however, embrace all of the veterans to which 
the State was entitled to a credit, but only such as this office had rolls for. On the 
13th of August, 1864, Assistant Adjutant General, Samuel Breck, in charge of 
rolls. War Department, reported that he had on file the rolls of veterans (of which 
this office had no copie.^:) as follows : Eleventh Regiment, 287 ; Tlurteenth Eegi- 
ment, 189 ; Twenty-fourth Regiment, 226; Twenty-sixth Regiment, 240; Thirty- 
fourth Regiment, 447 ; Forty-sixth Regiment, 285; Forty-seventh, Regiment, 437, 
. Sixtieth Regiment, 115, and Third Cavalry Regiment, 36: total, 2,262. Application 
was at once made for copies of these rolls, but it was refused, on the ground that the 
De2)artment could not allow its clerical force to be taken away from the current 
work to make the copies. They were afterwards, in the latter part of September 
and first weeks of October, furnished, after the numbers corresponding had been 
assigned to localities and reported for credit, by the Adjutant General of the State, in 
pui'suance of telegraphic instructions, as follows : 



VETERAN CREDITS. 99 

"Washington, August 20, 1804. 
" Laz. Noble, Adjutant Genera^: 

" Exhibits forwarded by you, dated April 15, May 31, June 30, July 31, give the 
localities for 9,173 veterans. Forward an exhibit giving the localities to wliich the 
additional number claimed by Indiana is to be assigned with a view to credit being 
passed to the State. 

[Signed,] " Thomas M. Vincent, A. A. G." 

This exhibit was made up by Adjutant General Noble, by apportioning the 
numbers, jy/'o rata throughout the State, of such as had no residences upon the rolls? 
and by including, in addition, those shown upon supplementary rolls, received after 
the date of former reports. The whole number embraced in this exhibit was 2,280, 
apportioned as follows : 



First District 159 

Second District 269 

Third District 280 

Fourth District 149 

Fifth District 219 

Sixth District 1 26 

Total 2280 



Seventh District 381 

Eighth District 115 

Ninth District 113 

Tenth District 104 

Eleventh District 365 



The veterans thus assigned were 451 of the Twenty-first Regiment, 282 of the 
Thirty-First Regiment (all from Seventh District;) 142 of the Thirty-Fifth Regiment; 
213 of the Thirty-Eighth Regiment (mostly from Second District;) 287 of the 
Eleventh Regiment; 215 of the Twenty-Fourth Regiment (from First and Secoml 
Districts;) 240 of the Twenty-Sixth Regimant; 251 of the Forty-Seventh Regiment 
(all from Eleventh District;) and 199 of detachments of different regiments and 
batteries. This exliibit was transmitted to Assistant Adjutant General TiiOJiAs 
M. Vincent, September 2d, 1864, that officer having signified, by telegraph, that. 
'•as the draft is ordered immediately after September 5th, that date is the latest at 
which the exhibit of veterans" could " be received so as to be passed to credit." 

There was some prospect, at this time, that the draft would be postponed, and 
Major Vincent was requested (in case it was) to return the last-named exhibit for 
revision, as it was not claimed to be perfect. In a report on this subject, made to 
Governor Moiiton by General Noble, dated September 10th, 1864, it was ui-ged 
that " time sliould be allowed to fairly adjust these credits, and especially to appor- 
tion those whose residences are not given on rolls among the townships as neaj. 
where the veterans actually reside as possible, and this can not be done without a 
return of the exhibit furnished Major Vincent, September 2d, for revision. That 
revision, to give any kind of satisfaction, will take at least four weeks." 

Although the Assistant Adjutant General U. S. A., In charge of the adjustment 
of veteran credits, acknowledged that the State was entitled to a total credit of 
11,490, for some unexplained reason the Provost Marshal General failed to direct 
his Assistant on duty in Indiana to credit the whole number thus acknowledged. 
Up to September 17th, 1864, only 6,576 had been actually credited, and on thaf 
day an order was received, by telegraph, from the Provost Marshal General's Bureau, 
to give an additional credit of 3,233, leaving still a deficit of 1,681 men. 

The attention of the Provost Marshal General being called to the fact that the 
full number authorized by the Adjutant General U. S. A. had not yet been cred- 
ited, the following instructions were given :

The discrepancy between the numbers reported to Adjutant General United

the Provost Marshal General, was occasioned by the latter officer committing an 
error in the number to be given the Tenth District, in his order of September 1 7th,

In juatice to myself^ it is proper to state that all of the business relating to the credits 
hereinhefore mentioned., teas transacted during the time the office of Adjutant General 
was held hy my predecessor., General [Noble, and that the foregoing statement of facts 
has been prepared, at my request, by the principal cterJc of the late A<]jutant General 
from the books, rolls, and memoranda remaining in this office. 

^SECOND SERIES OF VETERAN CREDITS.) 

The following adjustment of veteran credits has been made since my appoint- 
ment : 

On the 4th of February. ]8G5, Brigadier General T. G. Pitcher, Acting As- 
sistant Provost Marshal General, furnished this office with a " statement of credits 
given to the State of Indiana on the books " of his office, " for re-enlisted veteran 
volunteers of that State," showing that but 11,253 of the 11,490 allowed had been 
actually credited, leaving 237 still unaccredited. Application being made to the 
Provost Marshal General for authority to credit these omitted veterans, the follow- 
ing telegram was received : 

War Department, Provost Marshal General's Bureau, 

Washington, D. C, February Cth, 1.8G5. 
General W. H. H. Terrell, Adjutant General, Indianapolis, Indiana : 

The credit of re-enlisted veterans to the tState of Indiana appears upon our books 
as 11,490, and agrees with the figures in your office. General Pitcher has been 
directed to make the distribution of the 23 7 certified by hini as not credited. 
[Signed :] James B. Fry, Provost Marshal General. 

It was claimed by me that each of the 237 should be credited as three men on 
the pending call for one year men, and not as a unit, and the question being re- 
ferred to the Provost Marshal General's Bureau, it was decided adversely, as will 
be seen from the following letter, received by General Pitcher : 

War Department, Provost Marshal General's Bureau, 

Washington, D. C, February 11th, 18G5. 
Brig. Gen. T. G. Pitcher, Act. Ass't. Provost Marshal General, Indianapolis, Ind. : 
Gexeral: The Provost Marshal General directs, that, in distributing the credits 
to which the localities in the State of Indiana are entitled, on account of the 237 
veterans authorized by his telegram of the Gth instant, that as these credits have not 
been applied oa the July call, they are each a credit for three years of service, and 
you will reduce the quotas for the localities entitled to the credit by deducting the 
number of men to which they are entitled, amounting in the aggregate to 237. 
I am, General, very respectfully. 

Your Obedient Servant, 
[Signed :] N. L. Jeffries, Colonel Veteran Reserve Corps. 

The duty of assigning said unassigned re-enlisted veterans for credit, liaving de- 
volved upon the undersigned, I thought it my duty to assign them to such localities 
as would pay, for their benefit, a fair local bounty for the credits thus given, and 
the following distribution of the same was accordingly made : (For list of veterans, 
where; credited, and disposition made of their bounties, see Appendix, Document 
No. 21, pages 151 to 155.) 

Said counties being the highest which could be obtained for said credits, were 
duly paid, and the money deposited by the local authorities in the First National 
Bank of Indianapolis, to the credit of each Veteran by name, and a certificate of

deposit issued for the amount in each case, payable to the order of the proper 
party, or, in the event of his death, to the order of his Avidow, or if he have no widow, 
to his father or widowed mother ; otherwise, to his legal heirs. And, in case said 
bounty shall remain unclaimed for the period of two years, it is provided in the cer- 
tificate of deposit, that the money shall be paid into the State Treasury to the 
credit of the fund arising from "Estates without heirs." 

All which is respectfully submitted. W. H. II. Tkkrkll, 

Adjutant General of Indiana. 
Q U T -V S ■ 

The quotas, under the several calls, were assigned to the States 
and Congressional Districts by the Provost Marshal General, and 
to townships and other sub-districts by the Acting Assistant Pro- 
vost Marshal, on the basis of the enrollment, taking into considera- 
tion the number of troops previously furnished. It was a rare 
thing for the people of any township or sub-district to be entirely 
satisfied with their quotas. They were either too large for the 
number of men eiu-oUed and liable to do military duty, or else 
proper credit had not been given for all the men previously enlisted. 
The State authorities also frequently found just reason to object 
to the general c[uotas assigned as being excessive and incorrect. 
Thus, when a draft was ordered to be made on the 10th of March, 
1864, it was clearly evident to the mind of the Governor that the 
quotas assigned to Indiana for the years 1861 and 1862 were largely 
excessive, and that under any construction or calculation, the then 
pending quota, as well as all previous ones, had more than been 
filled. He did not guess at this conclusion, but reached it by a 
thorough examination of the whole matter from the beginning of 
the war; and yet a draft was actually insisted on, and Colonel 
Bakf.r, Acting Assistant Provost Marshal General for the State, 
under the orders of his Chief, had fully made all his jjreparations 
to commence it at the time designated. This appeared to the 
Governor flagrantly unjust. The nation was entitled to all the 
forces it needed, but could rightfully only draw upon a State for 
its equitable proportion of the general wdiole ; Indiana had fur- 
nished more than her share already; it was not right, therefore, to 
force a draft upon us merely because a few sub-districts were in 
arrears, which, if allowed time, would wipe out their deficiencies 
by furnishing volunteers. If all the other States called on had fur- 
nished their proportion, there would certainly have been no occa- 
sion to require us to furnish more than ours. The Governor very 
properly protested against such inequality and unfairness, and so

plainly did he make tiie facts appear, the threatened draft was 
promptly i?topped. The following telegrams will fully explain the 

stand he took :

On tlie basis of population sliown by the census of 18G0, including one-half ot 
the wliite population of Kentucky, MisKouri, Delaware, Maryland, West Viririnia. 
and the District of Columbia, and omitting California, Oregon and all the rebel 
States and Territories', the calls made on Indiana in 18G1 and 1862 were excessive 
6,199. On the basis of the enrollment the calls during the same year were exces- 
sive to the number of 9986. Upon any basis of calculation, with the number ot 
men known to be recruited in the Slate and re-enlisted in the field, it is certain 
that the State has more than filled her quota under all the calls. Many localities 
are pa}'ing heavy bounties, and it will occasion great complaint if they are allowed 
to do this after the quota is filled. Statement mailed to-day,

THIRD SERIES OF VETERAN CREDITS. 
The Muster-in Rolls of the re-enlisted Veterans of the Eleventh, 
Thirteenth, Twenty-Fourth, Twenty-Sixth, Thirty-Fourth, Forty- 
Sixth, Forty-Seventh and Sixtieth Regiments, and Third Cavalry 
Regiment, were received at this office in September and October, 
18G4. These rolls showed the residence of most of the men, and 
the residence thus given settled the question as to local credit, ac- 
cording to the mustering regulations. Prior to their receipt, how- 
ever, these Veterans had been credited, by Adjutant General 
Noble, by numbers, as part of the State's aggregate 'credit, 
and it was decided by the Acting Assistant P.«-ovost General, 
that the credits shown on the rolls could not be given to the 
localities without a withdrawal of an equal number from 
other localities, and, knowing that the application of such a 
rule would result in confusion and dissatisfaction, the claim for

credits, under it, was not pressed. Applications were, however, 
made direct to the War Department by parties interested, in be- 
half of Cass and Marion counties, and this ollice furnished all the 
information in its possession to enable the parties to prosecute 
their claims. The War Department, however, did not arrange tlie 
matter satisfactorily. In March, 1865, Governor Morton gave 
the subject his personal attention, and obtained from Brigadier 
General J. B. Fry, Provost Marshal General, aii order to credit 
Cass county with 82 men, Indianapolis and Marion county 172, 
and Huntington county -56 men, veterans of some of the regiments 
referred to ; and, also, a promise that credits should be given to 
other counties entitled to them upon the same principle. The 
localities named were the only ones where the exact numbers were 
known without a careful examination of the rolls — hence the rea- 
son for the order in their case, prior to the orders subsequently given. 

On the ISth of March, 1865, General Pitcher received a tele- 
gram from General Fry, directing the credits to be made as stated, 
and copies of the Muster-in Rolls of such Veterans of the Eleventh, 
Thirteenth, Twenty-Sixth, Forth-Sixth and Forty-Seventh Regi- 
ments, as had credited themselves to localities in Marion, Cass and 
Huntington counties, were furnished General Pitchkk, that he 
might give the credits to the precise localities named on the rolls. 
The number thus credited was olO. 

On the 28th of March, 1865, the rolls of the Eleventh, Thir- 
teenth, Twenty-Fourth, Twenty-Sixth, Thirty-Fourth, Forty- 
Sixth and Forty-Seventh Regiments, and Third Cavalry Regi- 
ment, were copied with a view of giving General Pitchkr infor- 
mation upon which to give the proper credits when General Fry 
should direct him to do so. These copies did not embrace any oi 
the names shown upon the coi:)ies furnished March 18th, 1865, re- 
lating to credits in Cass, Marion and Huntington counties. A re- 
port, by telegraph, of the numbers shown to the counties entitled 
to credit, was made to General Fry, March 28th, with the request 
that he would order the credits to be given accordingly. A report 
was also prepared to accompany the copies of rolls for General 
Pitcher, showing the distribution of these credits by townships, 
counties and Congressional Districts. The whole number shown 
to be entitled to be credited by this report is 1,381, which is addi- 
tional to the 310 credited March 18th, 1865, making the whole 
number 1,691.

Accordingly, on the 3d of April, 1865, 1 transmitted to Brigadier 
General T. G. Pitcher, Acting Assistant Provost Marshal Gen- 
eral, the copies of rolls and report referred to, who directed the 
Provost Marshals of the diftercnt Districts to give the credits to the 
townships indicated in said report, and the same were credited ac- 
cordingly. This closed all controversies connected with the credits 
of re-enlisted veterans. 

ADDITIONAL CREDITS- 

Near the close of the war an act of Congress was passed* requir- 
ing credit to be given for all troops mustered into the service of the 
United States for a less period than six months, (including three 
months' men) since the commencement of the rebellion. Indiana

was accordingly credited on the last call with 6,409 three months' 
men, and 7,197 one hundred days' men, making altogether 13,606 
men, or 3,574 years of service aggregating 1,191 three years' men. 
Seventy-one naval enlistments and twenty-one representative re- 
cruits were also credited. 

CORRECTION AND SUMMARY- 
The Adjutant General of the Army, at the close of the War re- 
ported the grand total of troop,'^, furnished by the State for all terms 
of service, at 194,363 men. By reference to the statistical tables 
published in this volume, (see Document No. 1, Appendix, page 5, 
et S3q.) it will be seen that the number reached 208,367, as shown 
by the rolls and records of tliis office, for the following terms of 
service : 

Three years' men 1 65,G 1 7 

One year men 21,642 

Nine months' men 742 

Six months' men 4,082 

One hundred days' men 7,415 

Three months' men 6,308 

Sixty days' men 587 

Thirty days' men 1>8 74 

Grand Total, 208,367 

These forces were organized into one-hundred and twenty nine 
regiments of infantry, thirteen regiments of cavalry, one regiment 
of heavy artillery and twenty-six batteries of light artillery, besides 
independent companies, recruits for Hancocks' Corps, U. S. Vet- 
eran Volunteer Engineers, etc. ; the aggregate number for the 
several arms of the service being as follows: 

Infantry 1 75,776 men. 

Cavah-y 21,605 men. 

Artilleiy 10,986 men.

STATE MILITIA. 
The act of May 11th, 1861, under which the Legion was organ- 
ized and all its operations conducted, is discussed elsewhere in this 
volume. The most important features of the service rendered by 
this organization are fully detailed under the titles of " The Raid 
of MoROAN," " KiRBY Smith Campaign," etc.

THE MILITIA ORGANIZED. 107 

The scarcity of arqps prevented the (Tovernor from attempting 
to place the militia on a war footing until September, 18G1. Com- 
panies had been organized under the law in almost every county; 
and on the Ohio river border and in some of the interior counties 
a number of regiments and battalions were enrolled. Failing to 
receive arms promptly, many of these organizations were broken up 
and abandoned — a large proportion of their members enlisting in 
the volunteer service. 

On the 10th of September, 1861, Major John Love, of Marion, 
and Colonel John L. Mansfield, of Jeflerson, were commissioned 
to organize the Legion upon a systematic plan for active service, 
the former with the rank of Major General and the latter with the 
rank of Brigadier. These gentlemen were by education and expe- 
rience well qualified to discharge the important trust committed to 
them ; they entered upon their duties with zeal and spirit and by 
laborious effort, in the face of many ditliculties and discouragements, 
succeeded in effecting a partial organization of the militia in all the 
sou^ 'rn or border counties of the State. They were greatly aided 
in their labors by Brigadier Generals James E. Blythe, of Vandcr- 
burg, and Alexander C. Downey, of Ohio, and their subordinate 
officers, among whom may be worthily mentioned Colonels Enoch 
R. James and John A. Mann, of Posey ; William E. Hollings" 
WORTH, of Vanderburg; Daniel F. Bates, of Warrick ; John W. 
Crooks, of Spencer; Charles H. Mason and Charles Fournier, 
of Perry; Horatio Woodbury and John T. Morgan, of Crawford ; 
Lewis Jordan, Senior, of Harrison ; Benjamin F. Scribner and 
William W. Tuley, of Floyd; John N. Lngram and John F. 
WiLLEY, of Clark. Samuel B. Sering, of Jefferson ; George W. 
Malick and Kennedy Brown, of Jennings; Oliver Ormsby, of 
Switzerlend ; Hugh T. Williams, of Ohio, and.loHN H. Buhkam, of 
Dearborn. The Honorable Richard W. Thompson, of Vigo, and 
Morton C. Hunter, Esq., of Monroe, were also commissioned Briga- 
dier Generals, and succeeded in organizing several very fine regiments. 

For the purpose of producing greater uniformity in drill and dis- 
cipline, and to infuse a higher degree of military spirit into the 
minds of the officers and men of the Legion, the Governor ordered 
an Encampment of Instruction to be held at Indianapolis, com- 
mencing on the 16th of October, 1862. A new and cmi)lete can- 
tonment, called Burnside Barracks, was erected near the city for 
this purpose, under the direction of Quartermaster-General Stone. 



108 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

Between three and four hundred olTieers assembled and were 
placed under regimental organization. Six companits were formed 
with the usual company and subordinate officers, and placed under 
the instruction of Colonel (afterwards Brigadier General) Hi:nry 
B. Carringtox, of the United States Army, and a suitable corps of 
assistants, aided by Major General Love, as commandant. The 
organization of companies was maintained during the Encamp- 
ment, which continued for two weeks; hours of duty were pub- 
lished in general orders prescribing the routine of the camp, and 
everything was conducted in strict accordance with military regu- 
lations and usage. The first week was employed in theoretical 
and practical instruction in the manual of arms and scpiad drill ; 
during the second week, company and battalion drill were addedi 
and the members of the Encampment were as thoroughly instructed 
as the short duration of the school would permit. The officers 
were highly gratified with the progress made, aud upon the break- 
ing up of the Encampment returned to their homes with renewed 
zeal and determination to make their commands more efficient and 
reliable for active service. 

Major General Love having resigned on the 1st of January, 
1863, the command devolved upon Brigadier General Mansfield, 
under whom the Legion continued to increase in strength and 
efficiency. He was promoted Major General July 30, 1864, and 
was relieved from duty on the 1st of November, 1865, his services 
being no longer necessary. In addition to the regular military duties 
which devolved upon General Mansfield, he was frequently called 
upon by the Governor to investigate and settle matters of much 
public importance in various parts of the State, and through his 
energetic efforts and sound judgment many internal strifes and 
troubles were quieted and order maintained.* His fine abilities 
were on many occasions strikingly displayed in allaying j^ublic ex- 
citements and reconciling the people of disturbed localities to the 
j)eculiar and complicated circumstances created by the war. 

The Honorable James Hughes, of Monroe, was appointed Briga- 
dier General on the 1st of July, 1863, and was promoted Major 
General on the 1st of August, 1864. He took an important part in 
the Morgan raid of 1863,f and in all subsequent defensive operations 
within the limits of his division. The expedition to Kentucky in

August, 1S64,* was planned by liim, but as the troops were to be 
sent out of the State, Major General Hovey, United States Volun- 
teers, was invited to take command — General PIughp:s cooperating. 
Colonel Hf.nry Jordan, of Harrison, formerly of the 17th Indiana 
Mounted Infantry, a brave and accomplished officer, Vv-as ap- 
pointed Brigadier General on tlie 9th of August, 1864, and was 
actively employed for several months under General Hughks in 
guarding the border between New Albany and Troy, and in quell- 
ing disloyal combinations and threatened outbreaks in the counties 
embraced in his command. His prudence and good management 
was shown in suppressing the " Orange and Crawford Conspiracyf 
in October, 1864. This was a formidable combination, organized 
ostensibly to resist the draft, but, as it turned out, the dishonest 
appropriation of property appeared to be one of its main objects. 
It was composed of more than three hundred disloyal citizens, in- 
cluding a number of conscript deserters, and was headed by a 
number of guerillas from Kentucky, whose connection with the 
scheme was induced solely by the hope of plunder. Some fifty 
liagrant robberies were committed. The Legion very i)romptly 
suppressed the movement, and upv>^ards of ninety arrests were 
made. Further violent proceedings were prevented by calling into 
active service Captain Avdklottk's com|)any of the Sixth Regi- 
ment, which was posted at Hartford, Crawford county, by General 
Jordan, for about six weeks. This ended the trouble, and the ser- 
vices of an active force being no longer required. General Jordan 
was relieved about the close of the year 1864. His brief adminis- 
tration of military affairs, in one of the most disaffected districts of 
the State, was highly creditable and productive of the best results. 

In the early part of July, I860, upon the request of Governor 
Morton, Brigadier General Henry B. Carrington, United States 
Volunteers, previously Chief Mustering Officer and Commander of 
the District of Indiana, then in Ohio, was ordered to report at In- 
dianapolis, for such duty as the Governor might assign to him^ 
The Morgan Raid followed, and General Carrington's fine abili- 
ties as a mustering officer and organizer of troops, in an emergency 
were a most valuable acquisition. After the raid was over, he was 
directed to more thoroughly organize the Legion, and for the ten 
months succeeding he was industriously and actively engaged in

this important work, giving much attention also to the vecrnitment 
of volunteers. He visited some thirty-five counties, and spent con- 
siderable time in instructing the militia in drill and discipline. 
About eighteen thousand stand of small arms were issued to the 
organized Legion, besides a number of pieces of artillery, during 
the time he was acting under the Governor's orders.* Not the 
least important service rendered by him to the State and Nation, 
was the discovery and exposure of the treasonable organization 
known as the " Sons of Liberty," which, but for his efforts, would 
probably have caused much trouble and bloodshed, f His great 
energy and industry, his willingness to assume responsibilities, 
when required by the demands of the hour, his admirable way of 
working through or around obstacles, and " stirring up things gen- 
erally," at times when haste was essential to success, told on many 
occasions with wonderful eflect, and very materially aided in secur- 
ing for Indiana the proud name she won for Ihe rapidity with which 
her troops were thrown into the field, and the elTiciency of her 
militia at home. 

A list of division, brigade, regimental and company organizations 
of the Legion, with full rosters of officers will be found in the 
third volume of this report. It only remains to describe, as accu- 
rately as available data and restricted limits will permit, the incep- 
tion and progress of the work of organization, — to briefly sketch 
the varied and valuable services performed and the benefits result- 
ing therefrom.

112 ADJUTANT general's KEPORT. 

Brigadier General Richard W Thompson, commissioned November 1st, 1861 ; 
assioriicd to command the Sixth Brigade, then composed of the orgunizcd militia in 
counties of Vigo, Clay, Owen, Green and Sullivan. The two first named counties 
were attacedto the Seventh Brigade, Owen to the Second Brigade, and Green and 
Snllivan to the First Brigade, March 27th, 1863. General Thompson entered the 
U. S. service ^May 1st, 1863, as Captain and Provost Marshal of the Seventh Con- 
gressional District. 

The First Regiment, First Brigade, {Posey County RegimenU) 
was parlially organized by Colonel Alvin P. Hovey, early in the 
sLitnmer of 1861, as soon after the passage of the Act of May 11th, 
as the necessary orders could be promulgated, appointments made 
and arms supplied. Colonel Hovey evinced the utmost zeal, 
energy and tact, to which the loyal people of his county responded 
with cordial alacrity, and his command was making rapid pro- 
gress towards military efficiency, when, about three months from the 
date of his appointment, he resigned his commission to accept the 
Colonei(-v of the Twenty-fourth Indiana Volunteers. His succes- 
sor, Colonel Enoch R. James, continued the work so successfully 
begun, and soon had nine comjjanies of infantry and one company 
of artillery fully armed, partially uniformed and well drilled. Com- 
pany and battallion drills were well attended for several months, 
and the regiment, on frequent dress-parades, received the commen- 
dations of military men for their proficiency in the manual of arms 
and soldierly bearing. 

On several occasions, during Colonel James' incumbency, the 
people of Mt. Vernon were alarmed by threats of guerrilla incur- 
sions, but the promptness with which the Legion rallied for the de- 
fense of the town, allayed public apprehension and restored a sense 
of secm-ity. Detachments from the "Independent Guards" and 
the "Union Rifles," rendered important service in assisting to make 
arrests of dangerous characters in Kentucky. In the spring of 
1862, a detail of about ten men from each com|iany was called out 
to guard prisoners at Camp Morton. The men promptly reported 
at rendezvous, but the order being countermanded, they re- 
turned to their homes. Upon the resignation of Colonol James, a 
little more than one year from the date of his appointment, Colo- 
nel John A. Mann was ai)pointed to fill the vacancy, and, entering 
at once upon his duty, he proceeded to organize two new com- 
panies — one of infantry and one of cavalry — to take the places of 
two of the original companies which had been disbanded on ac- 
count of most of their members having entered the active volun- 
teer service. 



P03FA' COUNTY REGIMENT. 118 

And lieve it is proper to stiite that the Legion was Ihc portal 
thron(i;li which thousands of the best, of our soldiers eiitcrod the 
army. The martial enthusiasm which it awakened and nurtured, 
could not be satisfied wit!i home service, however im|;ort;int iliat 
duty might be regarded; and llie Legion soon came to l)e viev^ed 
as the nursery from which the old regiments and baiteries of vol- 
unteers were to be recruited and new ones organized. ^Yhile this 
result v%^a^ unfavorable 1o the maintcMiance of pt>rmaneijcy and 
efficienciy in the organixation relied upon tor home defense, it was 
of itnmeasurable importaiice in ^ecuring a ready response to calls 
lor volunteers, and thus enabled the State to promptly lill lua- 
(|uota up.der each successive call. 

The cavalry company, well otiicered, thoroughly drilled and 
(.'ffectively armed, was often called upon for scouting and picket 
duty, when the presence of guerrillas on the Kentucky side of the 
river admonished the military authorities of the necessity of vigit- 
lance and preparation. 

Immediately after the issue of Governor Morton's ord.er* of 
September 5th, 1862, for the organization of the reserve militia. 
Colonel Mann proceeded to organize and drill that portion of the 
citizens of his county, and in a few days, had tw(>nty-one com- 
panies formed. They met regularly and were rapidly advancing 
in drill and discipline when the Governor's order, relieving tlieni 
from further attendance, was issued. Unfortunately the order to 
discontiruie drills was understood as applying to the Legi(^n aa 
well as the newly organized companies, from which misconsruelion 
the morale of all the companies of the First Regiment suH'ered se- 
verely, and for a long time much difficulty was experienced by the 
regimi-ntal commander in his (^iTorts to induce them to turn out for 
company or battalion exercises. 

Guerrilla parti(>s, roraning through Henderson, Union and adja- 
(rent counties of Kentucky, plundering the inhabitants and com- 
n)itting almost every species of outrage, were a constant source of 
alarm to the citizens of our southwestern counties, and they were 
rarely free from apprehensions of raids. During the winter and 
spring of 1863, alarms occurred with unusual frequency, and the 
First Regiment was often called upon to do guard duty along the 
river for a distance of thirty miles. 

Late at night, on the 9th of July, 1863, Colonel Mann received

displayed that every company, and nearly every man belonging to | 

the regiment, had reported at Mt. Vernon before noon of the 10th. j 

At nine P. M., seven companies of infantry embarked on board | 

transports and proceeded up the river, while the cavalry marched in , 

the same direction. Arriving at Evansville, the regiment went ; 
into camp with other troops rendezvoused at that point. Rumors 

of a threatened guerrilla raid, as a counter-movement to help ! 
Morgan, into Posey county, induced Colonel Mann to return to 

Mt. Vernon the next day with the cavalry. The infantry remained ; 

at Evansville several days, when it being evident that they could - 

not be used against Morgan, they were ordered to report to Colo- : 

nei Mann at Mt. Vernon, by whom they were dismissed to their j 
homes. 

During the remainder of 1863 unusual quiet reigned along the 
border, and this command was not called upon for further service. 

The year 1864 was characterized by frequent alarms and the i 

services of the First Regiment were varied and arduous. For- ! 

kest's raid through Western Kentucky, and his attack on Paducah ! 

in March of that year, created an apprehension that he intended j 

moving northward, striking the Ohio at Uniontown or Henderson, I 

and thence raiding upon the border towns of Indiana. The bat- ' 

talion was again called out, and jierformed guard duty for several | 

days, or until the rebels were reported as moving rapidly to the ; 

southward. i 

A few weeks later, formidable bands of guerrillas appeared along 
the Kentucky shore, and, with more than their usual boldness, 
attempted to steal a number of horses from citizens of Mount 

Vernon and vicinity, but succeeded in securing only a single horse, j 

The Legion was called to arms, and a permanent guard established i 

along the entire border of the county. The services of this regi- j 

ment in the expedition against Johnson's and Seipkrt's forces are j 

detailed in the chapter devoted to " the Adam Johnson Threatened i 

Raid,'' in this volume. ' 
After that expedition, Western Kentucky was comparatively

fr(^e from guerrillas, and, although the regiment maintained its 
organization until the close of the war, it was not again called 
upon, except for occasional details for brief and unimportant ser- 
vice. There can be no doubt that the elfieiency and constant vigi- 
lance of the officers and men of the First Regiment prevented fre- 
quent guerrilla incursions, and even more formidable invasions, by 
which incalculable loss and damage would have been inflicted upon 
the inhabitants of that section of the State. The same remark is 
applicable to the several regiments in all the border counties. 

TuF. Sf.cond Reg imp: NT, First Brigade, (Vanderburg' County 
Regiment,) was organized under Colonel James E. Blvthe, during 
the summer of 1861. The regiment proper consisted of nine com- 
panies of infantry, and one of artillery; but twenty-five other com- 
panies, artillery, cavalry, and infantry, were, at various periods, 
organized in the county, under the Legion law, (besides, five other 
coni panics were formed, but did not fully comply with the pro- 
visions of that act,) all of which were regarded as constituting one 
command, under the Colonel of the Second Regiment, and when 
formed in battalions, for drill or active duty, were commanded by 
oflicers detailed by him. Companies, as fast as organized, were 
supplied with arms and accoutrements, and several of them pro- 
cured uniforms. Drills were frequent, and attended, for some ti.ne, 
with such promptness and regularity that the command, in a few 
months, attained a highly creditable proficiency in company and 
battalion movements. Colonel Blythb having been promoted to 
the command of the First Brigade, Lieutenant Colonel William 
E. HoLLiNGSWORTM was promotcd to the Colonelcy, and assumed 
command of the regiment, and independent companies of the 
county, on the 30lh of November, 1861. 

During the occupation of Bowling Green and Russelville, Ken- 
tucky, by Buckner's command, frequent demonstrations were made 
in the direction of the Ohio River, threatening the destruction of 
the locks on Green river, and the capture of the city of Henderson. 
At one time a force was detailed, by order of General Buckner, to 
destroy the first lock. A regiment of volunteers marched for the 
protection of the lock, accompanied by a detail of artillery from 
Colonel HoLLiNGswoRTii's command. They succeeded in protect- 
ing the threatened point, and held possession of the place for sev- 
eral days. 



116 ADJUTANT general's KEPORT. 

Other demonstralions were constantly threatening the security 
of Evansville, and the various companies were kept on the alert. 
Scouting parties were sent into Kentucky, and up and down the 
Ohio river, to ascertain the position, numbers and purposes, so far 
as possible, of rebel forces in that vicinity. Guards were posled at 
various approaches to the city, and the command was held in 
readiness to repel an attack at any moment. 

The successes of the Union forces, in the spring of 1862, com- 
pelled the rebels to evacuate Bowling Green and Russelville, and 
alarms gradually subsided ; the pressure of imminent danger was re- 
moved, and the command became less vigilant. But upon the re- 
ceipt of Governor Morton's order, requiring the organization of 
the reserve militia. Colonel Hollingsworth promptly recruited all 
his companies to about ninety men each, and drilled them two 
hours daily, until the order discontinuing sucii special exercises was 
Issued. 

The disastrous termination of McClellan's and Poph's Vir- 
ginia campaigns encouraged the rebels to renew their opeiationsin 
Kentucky, and guerrillas again made their appearance on the 
border. Henderson was threatened, and in several cases details 
were sent from Colonel Hollingsworth's command to support a 
small force of Union troops stationed there. 

Adam John.-on's raid on Newburgh was the occasion of fresh 
alarm, and for several nights every company furnished details for 
guard duty. On the 21st of September, 1862, five companies, un- 
der the immediate command of Colonel Hollingsworth, pro- 
ceeded to Owensboro', Kentucky, to aid in repelling an attack, but 
returned without having an opportunity to meet the enemy. On 
the return trip a Sergeant of Company "A" accidently shot him- 
self through the head, producing instant death. 

Threatened raids of Kentucky guerrillas necessitated a great 
deal of guard duty throughout the ensuing winter and spring, and 
the efficiency of the command was well maintained. 

The Morgan raid in July created in Vanderburg, as throughout 
the State, the most intense excitement. Every company in the 
(jounty rallied, with full ranks, at the first note of alarm, and, go- 
ing into camp with other troops, awaited orders until the enemy's 
})lans were so far developed that it became evident the First 
Brigade could not be employed against him. 

During the early part of 1864, the duties of the Second Regi- 



WAliraCK COUNTY llEGIMENT. 117 

iiKMit were exceedingly (ineroiir*, on account oT Ihe necessity of 
frequent and heavy delaiis for guard duty to protect the border 
from invasion. In May, one company and i)arts of several others 
voliniteered for the " Hundred days' service." Colonel Hollings- 
woiiTH accepted a captaincy in one of the companies, leaving 
Lieutenant Colonel Victor Bisch — subsequently appointed Col- 
onel — in command. The most important feature of the services 
rendered by the conunand during the summer, or at any time 
thereafter, was its partici|)ation in the expedition into Kentucky, 
under Generals Hovi:y and Hug iiks, to rout Johnson and Sr.iPKirr.' 

Tfie commanding officers of the Second Regiment have fur- 
nished very meagre reports of the operations of the Legion in 
Vanderburg county, and it is not impossible that important ser- 
vices may have been rendered, of which no mention is here made. 
It is not too high commendation to say, that in keeping alive the 
martial spirit, promoting genuine loyalty, and preventing invasions 
or raids, the officers and men of this command displayed such 
patriotic zeal as to entitle them to the lasting gratitude of their fel- 
low-citizens. The city of Evansville owes its immimity from 
gueriilla incursions to the fact, well known on the opposite side of 
the river, that one thousand of her citizens, armed, equipped and 
organized, could have been called from their beds and formed in 
line of battle in thirty minutes from the first sound of alarm. 

The Third Rkgimknt, First Brig.'^di:, (Warrick County Regi- 
ment.) Colonel Danii:l F. Batks, commanding, was organized to 
the extent of six very efficient companies, in the summer and au- 
tumn of 1861. All these companies were armed and equipped, 
and drilled to a fair degree of proficiency in the manual of arms 
and in company and battalion evolutions. Two companies lo- 
cated at Newburg, were called out for guard duty during the fall 
and winter, and maintained the utmost vigilance for several months. 
In the spring of 186:2, the ranks of the battalion had become so 
tiiinned by the men volunteering for active field service, that three 
com|)anies were disbanded. Nine other companies were subse- 
quently, and at diflerent dates, organized and attached to this com- 
mand. Comjiany drills were maintained throughout the spring 
months of this year, but the constant drain upon the ranks by vol- 
unteering, induced the Colonel couunanding, (with the consent oi 
General Blythe,) to call in the arms of two companies, an act 

*Sce "Adam Johnson's threatened said," in this volume. 



118 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

which opened the way for the Ncwburg raid.* This event threw 
the country into intense excitement, and in connection with the 
presence of large bodies of guerrillas in the vicinity of Green river, 
Kentucky, caused the regiment to be called out and kept in camp 
for several days. Many of the men were farmers, and while they 
were on duty at camp their crops were wasting. As the excite- 
ment began to subside, the men were permitted to stay at their 
homes during the day time, but details of one-third of each com- 
pany were placed on guard every night until the danger was over. 

About the 20th of September, Colonel Bates, with four hundred 
men hastily called together, went to Owensboro, Kentucky, to aid 
in repelling an attack upon the United States' forces stationed 
there. They arrived too late to participate in the engagement, and 
after remaining one day returned to Newburg. During their ab- 
sence the town had been threatened again antl two conipanies had 
been called out, who were dismissed to their homes on the return 
of the Colonel commanding. Details were however kept on 
guard until the 1st of November following. Drills were kept up 
without regard to weather and to the neglect of all other interests. 
Eleven militia companies were organized under the Governor's 
proclamation of September 5th, 1862, and when they were dis- 
banded, the morale of the regiment did not suffer as was the case 
in some other counties. On several occasions battalion dress-pa- 
rades were held, and the command received the commendations of 
officers of high rank, for their soldierly bearing and marked pro- 
ficiency in discipline and tactics. 

Nothing of greater importance than details for guard duty and 
scouting was required of the regiment during the winter and 
spring of 1863, or until the month of July. On the 8ih of that 
month, Colonel Bates, in obedience to an order from the Gover- 
nor called out his entire command to repel an expected attack 
from rebels acling in concert with John Mokgan. Eight com- 
panies of infantry and one company of artillery were stationed at 
Scuffletown Bar, on the Ohio; one company of cavalry at New- 
burg, to be used as scouts; two companies of infantry were 
mounted and sent out as scouts into Dubois, Orange and Perry 
counties, to ascertain if Morgan was moving westward, as was 
currently reported. The command remained on duty eight days, 
when all but two comj^anies were permitted to return to their 

•i-See "llaid on Newburg," in this yolumo. 



SPENCER COUNTY REGIMENT. 119 

homes, wifh orders to hold themselves in readiness for instant ser- 
vice if required. The two companies retained were j)laeed on 
guard at several points on the river, where, on account of the low- 
stage of the water, it was easily fordable. This duty was con- 
tinued for two weeks. 

This reginient was not called upon for further service until the 
lOth of June, 1864, when General Hughes ordered the Colonel 
cominanding to go into camp near Newburg with two c-ompanies 
and be prc|)ared to repel a raid which seemed imminent from 
threatening demonstrations on the Kentucky border.* The cavalry 
company attached to the regiment was at the same time ordered 
to report to General Hughes, and, in addition to other service, par- 
ticipated in the expedition into Kentucky. Colonel Bates picketed 
the river the entire breadth of his county and patroled the bank 
every night until the 15th of June, when he was ordered to break 
up his camp and dismiss the men to their homes. The regiment 
was not subsequently called out. 

This regiment was particularly fortvmatc in continuing through- 
out the war under the command of the same Colonel, than whom 
no officer of the Legion exhibited more earnest zeal or more un- 
flinching loyalty. He succeeded in infusing his spirit and energy 
into his officers and men, and no portion of the command ever hes- 
itated to respond to any ca'll, at whatever sacrifice of personal in- 
terests. 

Fourth Regiment, Second Brigade," {Spencer County Regi- 
ment. — John W. Crooks was commissioned Colonel of the Foijrth, 
or Spencer County Regiment, on the 12th of June, 1861, and con- 
tinued in command of all the companies organized in that county 
until March 1st, 1864, when the acceptance of his resignation created 
a vacancy, which was filled by the appointment of William N. 
Walker, who retained the command until the last of November, 
1864. The entire force organized at various periods, in the county 
and constituting Colonel Crooks' command, consisted of twenty- 
five companies, fourteen of which belonged to the Fourth Regiment 
proper, and eleven of which were organized under the name of the 
" Grand View Battalion," Lieutenant Colonel L. C. Parker, com- 
manding. 

In arms, equipments and drill this command did not difier mate- 
rially from those of the lower border counties already described^ 

*See " Morgan 'f liruiitcned Uaid, June, 1HIJ4," iu tbia volume. 



120 ■ ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

Its services were also of a similar character. During the moiitJis of 
July, August and Hepteniber, 1862, not. less than tw(^nty alarms of 
threatened inroads from guerrilla parties called out the companies 
and kept the people generally in a state of intense excit(^meiil. The 
citizens of Owensboro made frequent and earnest appeals to Colonel 
Crooks for assistance in repelling raids, and seemed to rely upon 
the Fourth Regiment for the proteciion of their town. These 
appeals were cheerfully responded to, the entire command, with 
many citizen volunteers, having marc'icd to their relief as 
many as six times, and one occasion dej'ended the town and the 
small force stationed there for ninety days. The few loyal men 
residing in Daviess county, Kentucky, having the assurance tiiat 
the entire arnis-bcaring population of Spencer county would fly to 
their relef if needed, took high Union grounds and succeeded in 
establishing a tolerably healihy public sentin]ent. 

The most important featm-c of the operations of Colonel Crooks' 
forces was the battle of "Panther Creek." Kentucky, which was 
fought on the 20th of September, 1862.* On the morning of that 
day the town of Owensboro was attacked and captured l)y the 
rebels; Colonel Ni:tti:r commanding the post, was killed and his 
small force driven into sucli a position that they could offer no 
effective resistance. Colonel Crooks received immediate notice of 
this disaster, and an urgent call for assistance. Rallyiiig a portion 
of his command, he crossed the river under protection of his artillery, 
with six hundred men, driving the rebels from and taking possession 
of the town. Learning that niglit that the rebels had gone into 
camp on Panther Creek, eight miles from Owensboro, Colonel 
Ci'.ooKS organized a force for the |)urpose of attacking them. 
Although the men were much fi^tigned, many of them having 
marched more than twenty miles, three hundred and fifty of Colonel 
Crooks' men promptly fell into line, and, reenforced by sixty of 
Nf.tter's mounted men and half a dozen citizens of Daviess county, 
marched with alacrity tovvards the rehil camp. The Fourth Regi- 
ment had one six-pounder cannon. The rebel force consisted of a 
battalion five hundred strong commanded by Lieutenant Ct)lonel 
Martin. They had one small piece of artillery. 

Nettkr's mounted men, the advance of Colonel Cr.oou's small 
force, came upon the enemy's caraj) about day-light, and, having 
incautiously approached too near, met with so warm a reception

BATTLE OF PANTHER CREEK, KENTUCKY. 121 

that they were speedily dispersed and did not render further assist- 
anee. Hearing the discliarge of musketry wiili which the cavah-y 
were greeted, the Fourth Regiment hastened forward and placed 
their cannon in position, but at the third discharge it became un- 
serviceable and was sent to the rear. Tlie cavab-y being dispersed 
and artillery disabled, our infantry were advanced to within easy 
musket range of the enemy, and both sides opened a spirited fne, 
the enemy using his cannon, charged with sacks of Minnie balls, 
with considerable eflect. At the end of an hour and a half th(> 
enemy's lines began to waver, seeing which. Colonel Chooks or- 
dered his men to charge. The movement was etiicted in gallant 
Etyie, scattering the rebels in the wildest confusion. The casualties 
in the Fourth Regiuicnt were three killed and thirty-five wounded. 
The mounted men lost two wounded and eight captured. The 
rebel loss was thirty-six killed, more than seventy wounded and 
sixteen prisoners. Our forces captured twelve horses, one hundred 
and forty small arms, and a sm;dl amount of camp and garrison 
e(iuippage. 

The result of this little but brilliant allair was in the highest de- 
gree; creditable to th.e command engaged, and siifFiciently corrobo- 
rates the statement of the Colonel commanding, tliat "all did well: 
both officers and men seemed to vie with each other in deeds of 
daring." 

A few weeks after the engagement at Panther Creek, the Fourth 
Regiment was again most (earnestly requested to return to Owens- 
boro, the rebels having threatened to visit the town, and wreak 
summary vengeance on the small force, constituting its garrison, 
for their late humiliating defeat. 

On the morninir of the 6th of October, Colonel Crooks arrived 
opposite the town with nearly five hundred men, but there was 
.murmuring in his ranks: "The citizens would not defend them- 
selves; more than half of them were rebel sympathizers; neigh- 
bors and friends had been slain in defense of a people who would 
not fight for themselves; the tobacco crop, the chief reliance of 
Spencer county as a remunerative product, was suffering for care.'' 
Doubtless every man would have crossed the river had the order 
been given, but their commanding olFicer thought there was reason 
in their complaints; he therefore j)ut two jjieces of artillery in posi- 
tion to command the town, and notified the officer in command of 
the garrison that he would not cross, but " j)roposed to defend the 



122 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

camp and town from this (the Indiana) side of the river." The clti- 
i^ens of Ovvensboro were notified tiiat as soon as the women and 
children could be removed after the attack was made upon the gar- 
rison, or the town occupied by the rebels, it would be shelled by 
Colonel Crook's artillery. No attack was made at that time, and 
trouble on the border of Daviess county, Kentucky, ceased. 

Tlie efficiency of this organization was maintained throughout 
the war, but no reports have been made of its operations during 
the y(>ars 18G3 and 1864. 

FiiTu R GiMENT, Second Bfugade, {Perry County.) — Early in 
the snmmer of 1861, Colonel Charles H. Mason organized eight 
companies in Perry county, which, after some unavoidable delay, 
were armed and equipped by the Quartermaster General. In Au- 
gust, serious troubles began in the caunties of Kentucky opposite 
this county. Several bands of guerrillas were formed, who, not 
content with the field of operations presented in their own State, 
constantly made threats against the citizens of Perry county. 
The Fifth Regiment had, however, made such rapid progress in 
drill and discipline as to be able not only to defend their, own bor- 
der, but to extend protection, to some extent, to the persecuted 
unionists on the other side of the Ohio. 

On the 2-Jth of August, the guerrillas made a night attack upon 
the union residents of the town of Hawesville, Kentucky, and 
aided by many armed inhabitants of secession proclivities, suc- 
ceeded in driving them out of the town. They crossed the river 
and ajipealed to the Legion for protection. Severiil companies 
were called out with the view of attacking the guerrillas, but they 
prudently evacuated the town before daylight, and fell back to a 
posiiion in a remote ]iart of Hancock county, Kentucky. Such, 
i)ovvever, was the aspect of affairs that it was deemed necessary to 
guard the border of the entire county, to which duty nearly all the 
companies were assigned for several successive weeks, and until 
the rebel bands had been consolidated and left that region to join 
the confederate army. 

In the following October, Hawesville was again visited by 
guerrillas at night and several members of a Home Guard com- 
pany which had been organized among the union men of the town 
and adjacent country, were captured and taken away. A small 
detachment of the Fifth Regiment immediately crossed the river 



PERRY COUNTY REGIMENT. 123 

but could not move with sufficient rapidity to strike an enemy 
whose chief concern was personal safety. Captain, (afterwards 
Colonel) FouHNiEK, under instructions from General Boyle, author- 
izing him to act upon his own discretion in any emergency, noti- 
fied the priiu-ipal citizens of Hawesville, that they w^ould Ik; held 
responsible for all outrages committed upon the persons or property 
of the union men of that town. The salutary ell'ect of this notice 
was perceptible in unwonted (piiet throughout that neighborhood 
for more than six months. 

In June 1S62 the rebels appeared in considerable force in several 
(;ounties of Kentucky, adjacent to Perry county. In response to 
an apj)eal from the Provost Marshal of Hancock county, Colonel 
FouRNiKR with a detachment of the Fifth, again crossed the river 
and assisted in an attack upon a company of rebels, a j:iart of 
whom were captured and sent to Louisville. These vig(>rous 
measures checked the rebels for a time, but in the following Sep- 
tember other guerrilla bands were organized, and the work of 
plundering the property and maltreating the persons of Kentucky 
unionists was begun afresh. The rebel battalion, which was so 
severely chastised by Colonel Ci;ooivS, at Panther Creek, fell back 
into Hancock and Breckenridge counties, and being re-inforccd by 
by guerrillas, prepared to attack Colonel Shanks, at Cloverport. 
Two companies of tlie Fifth, under command of Colonel Four- 
MER, promptly marched to his assistance, but the rebels learning of 
the arrival of re-inforcements, declined to attack, and. a few days 
later, moved southward across (^reen River. 

During the remainder of 1862, the regiment was not called out^ 
except for drill. It had been augmented by new organizations, 
until at the close of the year it consisted of sixteen companies, 
numbering, all told, eighth hundred and fifty well drilled and reli- 
able men, all armed and equipped, and ready for service whenever 
they might be needed. 

On the 3d day of February, 1833, the rebels having taken pos- 
session of Lewisport, Kentucky, a few miles below Troy (in Spen- 
c.cY county, Indiana,), one company of the Fifth was called out for 
guard duty, at exposed points on the river, but the excitement sub- 
sideil, and after remaining on duty for three days the company was 
called in and the men dismissed to their homes. Later in the same 
month four companies W(?re ordered to march for the protection of 
Hawesville. The officer in command stationed his force opposite 



124 ADJUTANT general's PEPORT. 

the town, ready to cross if necessary, but no attack was made and 
the companies were dismissed. 

A company of rebel mounted infantry visited Hawesville on the 
3d of March, and Colonel Fouunikr prepared to attack them at 
midnight; an entertainment for which the rebels did not wait. 

On the yth of June a rebel (h^tachment, entered Cloverport. Ken- 
tucky, and commenced the seizure of horses. Their movemtmts 
indicated an intention of crossing the river, but the judicious dis- 
posal of a detachment of the Fifth frustrated tliat design. 

The gallant part borne by a part of this command in the Ilines'' 
Raid will be referred to in another part of this report. During 
the Morgan Raid the entire force was in camp along the river> 
which was thoroughly guarded, as long as Moiigax was in the 
■State. 

About the middle of September, Colonc^l Fournieij, with a small 
force, crossed the river to assist the Provost Marshal of Hancock 
county, in dispersing a conrpany of rebels, but the sudden retreat 
of the enemy prevented a collision, and tlie detachment returned 
the next day. 

In January, ISfi-l, the military authorities nt Hawesville, again 
called upon the Filth, for aid, but Colonel Fournikr declined fur- 
ther efforts in that direction, on account of the o|)en hostility oi" 
the principal citizens of the town to tlie National Government. 

In May the rebels again made their appearance on the border in 
such numbers that heavy details of the Legion were required for 
guard and patrol duty, during that and the following month. 
United States transports passing up and down the Ohio were fired 
upon from Hawesville, Lewisport, Owensboro and other points. 

On the 15th of June, five companies under Captain Essary were 
ordered out to repel an expected attack from a rebel force then 
stationed at Concordia, Kentucky. The men were posted along 
the Ohio, on the Indiana shore, from Reno to the mouth of Oil 
Creek. A few shots were exchanged, but the river being too high 
to cross with horses, and having no other means of transportation, 
Captain Essary was unable to gratily the wishes of his men to 
attack the enemy on tlieir own ground. Several of the rebels were 
reported wounded by some of the more expert riflemen of the 
Legion. The rebels withdrew on the 19; h, and the companies on 
duty were soon after dismissed, but strong details were made for 
night guard until the 23d. 



TROUBLES ON THE BORDER. 125 

The United States gunboat "Springfield" was about this time 
detailed for patrol duty, between Cannelton and jNew Albany, 
which had the effect to keep the guerrillas quiet for some weeks, 
but, on the 24th of July, a strong squad, sorely pressed for clothing 
and oiher supplies, attempted to make a descent upon Ilawesville. 
'I'hey were dispersed by the guns of the '' Springfield," without the 
aid of the Legion. During August and September, the gunboat 
having been riMnoved, detachments of four or live companies were 
constantly required for guard and patrol duty. 

On the 3d of October, the entire command was ordered out, and 
camps were established along the river, from Reno to Troy, a dis- 
tance of forty miles. This precaution was made necessary by the 
appearance of rebels, in force, on the border, with the supposed 
purpose of crossing the Ohio, to aid malcontents in resisting the 
draft. The Fifth Regiment continued on duty for ten days, or un- 
til ili(! rebels had apparently abandoned their purpose of invading 
this Si ate. 

In December, rebel forces, under command of Major W. Taylor, 
of lh(; Confederate army, took possession of HawesviJle, and noti- 
lied the Fifth Regijuent that, if left in undisturl)ed occupancy of 
the town, they wonld not molest any of the citizens on the Indiana 
side of the river. Colonel b'ouRMKtJ, njct the rebel Major on the 
i'erry bcmt, to discuss the proposition, but no terms were agreed 
U[>on, and all comnnmication stopped. On the 23d of the same 
monlli, a band of marauders, under one " Captain Davidson," seized 
the i)aci(et " Morning Star," at Lewisport, (ten niiles below Can- 
nellton) and, after murdering, in cold blood, four Union soldiers, 
drowning the steward of the boat, and robbing the passengers of 
all their money and other valuables, compelled the Captain to take 
them to Hawesville, oramitting all intermediate landings. Learn- 
ing of this affair, Colonel Fourmer called out the river companies 
of his command, and put his artillery in position opposite Ilawes- 
ville. A sufficient force could not be rallied during the night to 
cross the river, with fair prospects of success, against the very con- 
siderable force of rebels tlu-n collected there; but in the morning 
the enemy was effectually routed, by a few well-aimed shells, 1 brown 
from Colonel Fournibk's guns, through the streets of the town. 
This process proved an effectual remedy, as the citizens of Ilawes- 
ville, assured that their town would be again shelled if occuj)ie.d by 



126 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. '| 

rebels, discontinued the extension of hospitalities to friends whose \ 
presence would bring such a calamity upon them. j 

No furiher report has been furnished of the operations of this I 
vigilant and determined regiment, but the facts already stated suf- : 
ficietitly attest its zeal and loyalty, and prove that to Colonel Four- ' 
Nir-,n, (now deceased) and his patriotic officers and men, the citi- 
zens of Perry, and interior counties, are indebted for exemption jj 
from rebel raids, with the probable h)ss of life, and certain loss of ] 
pro|ierty, that would have resulted therefrom. The regiment was | 
an unsnrinoantable barri(>r between hungry hordes of lawless j 
marauders and out-casts, and the tempting prizi'S presented on 
the fertile farms, and in the flourishing towns of Perry county and ; 
the contiguous country. . i 

Crawford County Rkgiment, Second Bric.adi:, {JVot Niim- i 
bered.) — Tiiis command consisted of nine companies, organized at \ 
various dates, between June, 1861, and August, 1863. From Oc- 
tober 4t!), 1861, to September 8tli, 1862, the regiment was com- 
manded by Colonel Horatio Woodbury, who resigned Sei)tember ■ 
8th, 1862, to accept a commission in the volunteer service, leaving j 
a vacancy, which was lilled by the appointment of Joun T. Mor- i 
GAN, who remained in command, with credit to himself and the 
service, until his decease, in the summer of 18b3. The vacancy 
was filled by the appointment of Samuki. M. Johnston, under a 
commission dated August 1st, 1863. ' i 

Of the services performed by this regimicnt, during the incum- 
bency of its first and last commanding officers, no reports have ever 
been made to this office. From a brief report of Colonel Morgan, 
it appears that his command, in the fall of 1862, consisted of five 
companies, all effectively armed as infantry. A small rifled cannon 
was manned by a detail from one of the infantry companies. 

The intense excitement that pervaded the border in September, 
1862, was largely particip;\ted in by the citizens of Crav/ford 
County. The people of Leavenworth and vicinity, apprehensive 
of an attack upon the town, requested Colonel Morgan to take 
precautionary measures to avert the threatened danger. Accord- 
ingly, two companies were deployed as pickets along the river for 
some distance, above and below the town. This service wa- dis- 
continued at the expiration of three days. About the same time, 
a three inch rifled cannon v.'as issued to Captain G. W. Lyon's 
company for the protection of Leavenworth. Tliis gun was of

great use to the citizens of timt town, but it was riiially eaj/iured 
by the rebels under Morgan, in 1863, as will l)e more fully stated in 
the chajiter relatingto the Morgan raid, in this volume. The Legion 
turned out on that occasion to the numberof about five hundred — two 
hundred being mounted, and under command of Captain Charles L. 
Lamb, of Lf>avenworth. This force pnmiptly marched to the re- 
lief of Colonel Jordan, at Corydon, but did not reach that point 
until after the enemy had left for Salem. When General Hobson 
arrived, in pursuit of the rebels, Captain Lamb's cavalry was 
ordered in the advance, and continued with Hobsox's command 
ruitil it reached Harrison, Ohio, where it was ordered home. The 
Infantry was sent to New Albany, for the protection of the hos- 
pitals and public stores at that post, and remained until the raid 
was over. The only casuality resulting from this service was the 
death of Lieutenant Cai.vin Martin, of the " Fredonia Guards,'' 
who died shortly after from disease contracted during the march. 

Captain Lamb subsequently organized an "Independent Com- 
pany of Cavalry," and tendered its services, through the Governor, 
to the General Government, and was accepted, for special service, 
for twelve months, unless sooner discharged. The company was 
mustered into service at Leavenworth, on the 13th of August, 1863, 
and was engaged during the fall and winter following in arrestinsj^ 
deserters, enforcing the conscription law, and in guarding the river 
border against invasions from rebel cavalry and guerrillas. Per- 
mission being granted by the War Department, a large proportion 
of the men re-enlisted for three years, in the Thirteenth Indiana 
Cavalry, and the remainder were finally discharged on the 23d day 
of April, 1864, their services being no longer needed. 

As has already been stated, but little information as to the services 
of the Crawford County Legion can be gleaned from the meagre 
reports that have been received. It is believed, however, that all 
the companies responded to every call that was made upon them 
and that they performed their duties as zealously and faithfully as 
any of the similar organizations on the border. 

Sixth Rkgimknt, Second BRroADi:, (Harrison coiintij.) — Prior to 
November 1st, 1861, \en companies had been organized in Harrison 
county, which at that date numbered in the aggregate '535 men. 
Four comi)anies were subsequently organized, one of which w^as 
cavalry. The command also included an artillery company. One 
of the largest and most efiicient company organizations was dis- 



128 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

banded in the sumirier of 1852, nearly all its members having vol- 
unteered in the service of the United States. The same cause 
greatly reduced the strength of all the remaining companies, not 
less than six hundred members ol the regiment having left its r.inks 
to go to ihe field during the first two years of the war. For eighteen 
months aiter tlie first comjranies were organized they were drilled 
regularly two or three times a week, and subsequently to that period 
once a week till near the close of the second year, wiien monthly 
or semi-monthly drills were deemed sufficient. ]<\)ur regimental 
drills were holden during 1862, on which occasions the fine appear- 
ance of ihc command elicited much commendution. 

The appearance of rebels and otlier indications of danger on tlie 
border in September, 1862, induced the commanding officer, Colonel 
Lewis Jordan, Senior, to call out the regiment and go into camp 
for sevcni days, at Mauckporr, on the Ohio. Thirty or forty Union 
refugees, drivtni by the rebel soldiery and disloyal citizens from 
Brandenburg, Kentucky, had taken refuge on the Indiana side of the 
river. Desiring to return to their homes. Colonel Joudon detailed 
two hundred and fifty m^Mi, under command of Lieutenant Colonel 
Ir'vin, to escort them to Brandenburg and take possession of the 
town. The order was promptly executed, and on the UK^rning of 
the 2-Jili of September, Lieutenant Colonel Liwin entered the place 
and planted the United States flag on the court house. The com- 
mand captured twelve prisoners, who were released on taking the 
oath of allegiance. A company of United States cavalry arriving 
the same day to occupy the town, the detachment returned to 
Harrison county. At anorlier time two compnnies marched to the 
assistance of the Union force at the fort on Salt River, Kentucky, 
and remained there for several days. Subsequently four companies 
were ordered to Mauckport, to repel a threatened raid, but returned 
after two days without oppositi(Mi. The companies residing on 
and near the river were constantly on the alert and devotea much 
lime to guard and jiatrol duty. 

Nothing further of material importance appears in the record of 
this command, until the month of July, I860, when Colonel Jor- 
dan and a part of the Sixth Regiment, and a number of citizens, 
were captured at Corydon, by Joun Morgan's force, after the most 
heroic efforts to prevent the enemy from landing on the soil of our 
State, and a determined and gallant defense of the town. A full 
account of this affair is given in another chapter. 



FLOYD COUNTY REGIMENT. 129 

Seventh Regiment, Third Brigade, {Floyd Counly.) — From 
the report of Colonel E. \. Maginness, it appears that this regiment 
was organized (under command of Colonel B. F. Scribner,) during 
the spring of 1861, and consisted at that time of eighteen com- 
panies, numbering in the aggregate 900 men, most of whom were 
uniformed, I'ut not more than 300 armed. 

During the first four months the most satisfactory progress was 
made in company and battalion drill, but protracted dela}' in pro- 
curing arms and accoutrements created general dissatisfaction, while 
the organization of two regiments of volunteers in this county and 
vicinity for the United States service, absorbed many of the officers 
and men who had been the most active members of the Legion. 
Every company contributed much of its best material to these two 
regiments, and several of them were thus entirely deprived of com- 
missioned officers. From these causes most of the companies were 
disorganized, and the efficiency of those who retained their organi- 
zation was seriously impaired. Here, as elsewhere, the Legion served 
the noble purpose of educating young men for active service, and 
in infusing martial enthusiasm into the public mind. 

Colonel Scribner, entering the United States service as Colonel 
of the Thirty-Eighth Indiana Volunteers, the command of the 
Seventh passed to Colonel William W. Tuley, in September, 
1861. During the incumbency of Colonel Tuley, he was requested 
by General Anderson, then on duty in Kentucky, to send Knapps' 
artillery company of his command to a point opposite the mouth of 
Salt River, and to keep it supported by at least one company of 
infantry. The request was complied with, the artillery remaining 
on duty at the point designated about three months, during which 
time three infantry companies participated in the duty of support- 
ing it, relieving each other from time to time. One company was 
subsequently sent to Indianapolis to assist in guarding prisoners at 
Camp Morton, in which service it continued several months. 

Upon the resignation of Colonel Tuley, in September, 1862. 
Colonel Maginness was placed in command. He found the regi- 
ment, with the exception of four companies "utterly broken up," 
and "even these four companies very much shattered;" a conditioit 
which was not much improved at the date of his report, in Decem- 
ber following. Colonel Maginness attributes the early dissolution 
of the organization to the "utterly and fatally defective law that

gave it birth," a law -'which discovers no inducements to allure, 
nor penalties to compel, men io join the organization.'* 

Eighth RRonrENT, Third Brigade, [Clark and Scott Connties.) 
No detailed report of the inception and progi*ess of the organization 
in Clark and Scott counties has been made by any of the officers 
commanding, nor has this office been furnished with reliable data 
relative to the services performed by the regiment, or any of the 
companies attached thereto. Jambs Keigwin, of Jefferson ville, was 
first appointed to the Colonelcy, under commission bearing date 
August 30th, 1861, but almost immediately vacated the office to 
accept the Lieutenant Colonelcy of the Forty-Ninth Indiana Vol- 
unteers. Colonel John N. Ingram held the command from Septem- 
ber (ith, 1861, to October 13th, 1862, when his resignation created 
a vacancy which was filled by the appointment of John F. Willey, 
This officer reports twelve companies in Clark and five companies 
in Scott county at the close of 1862. Portions of the command 
^were frequently called out to repel threatened incursions of Ken- 
taeky guerrillas, and the regiment rendered good service in guard- 
ing the shoals on the Ohio, when the water was low and the danger 
of invasion imminent. With resident rebel sympathizers, of whom 
there v;ere a considerable number in these counties, the Legion un- 
questionably exerted a restraining influence. It was a prolific imr* 
sery for the volunteer service, a quickner of patriotic impulses, and 
a conservator of genuine loyalty. 

Colonel WiLLEY reports the services of his command for 1863--4, 
as follows: 

" We liad five battalions, and were called into service by order of the Gov- 
ernor, June 20th, (o meet the raid under Captain IIines. June 21st, relieved 
from duty; June 22d, a false alarm; was sent to guai'd White River bridge ; June 
24th, dismissed the command; July 6th, 1863, called into service by Laz. Noble, 
Adjutant General; rendezvoused at Jeffersonville ; July 7th, dismissed the com- 
mand; July 8th, met at Jeffersonville to repel Morgan raid; were in line of 
battle, but no enemy came ; July 15th, relieved from duty and command dismissed ; 
June 9th, 18G4, called into service, by order of the Governor, to meet a raid in 
Kentucky by Morgan; dismissed June 25th; August 10th, called companies "A' 
and " H " to picket the Ohio river, in the vicinity of the " Grassy Flats," to stop 
guerrillas from crossing under rebel Jesse ; pickets fired on by guerrillas ; re- 
turned the fire, but no one hurt; dismissed August 20th, 1864. We had two 
battalion drills in April, 1864, one regimental drill in May, and one In October- 
The regiment Is well drilled for militia, and are ready and willing to turn out 
whenever called on." 



JEFFERSON COUNTY REGIMENT. 131 

NiNTK Ri;(;i.-\ti:nt, Third Brk^adi:, [Jefferson Coiinlij.) — This 
efficient command was partially organized in the sprini;^ and caijy 
summer of 18GI, under command of Colonel John A. Hb.ndkicks, 
who was actively engaged in the prosecution of tliis work, wlien 
he was called to the Lieutenant Colonelcy of the Twenty-Second 
Indiana Volunteers, and was succeeded by Colonel Samuel B. 
Skring, on the 29th of August, 1861. Ten companies of in- 
fantry and one of artillery, had been organized up to this date. 
The artillery had been supplied with three guns, but were destitute 
of necessary accoutrements. Only one infantry company was 
armed, and it was not until some months later that arms could be 
procured lor other portions of the command, although about five 
hundred muskets had previously been issued to independent com- 
[)aiiies in the county. 

On the 19th of September, 1861, General Anderson called for 
aid in defending Louisville from a tlireatened attack by Bucknek's 
forces. The artillery company atid one company of infantry — the 
only one tlien armed — together with details from several indepen- 
dent companies, immediately proceeded to Louisville, but the dan- 
ger having passed, their services were not required, and they re- 
turned home. Soon after, a considerable force of rebels encamped 
in Owen county, Kentucky, about twenty miles from Madison, 
Indiana, and under their auspices recruiting for the rebel service 
actively {progressed throughout that portion of Kentucky. It was 
deemed necessary to guard closely against an invasion, of the 
border, and six companies of the Ninth having been supplied with 
arms, rendered valuable assistance in furnishing guards, and were 
held in readiness to march to any point where their services might 
be more imperatively required. From this period, for several suc- 
ceeding months, the border was compru-atively quiet, and the regi- 
ment was not called upon for much service beyond regular drills 
and parades ; but on the 26th of May, 1862, the Colonel com- 
manding was ordered to furnish three companies for guard duty at 
Camp Morton, Indianapolis, where several thousand rebel prisoners 
were confined. The " Madison Zouaves," " Washington Greys " 
and " Shelby Greys" volunteered in response to this call, and, pro- 
ceeding to Indianapolis, were mustered into the United States' ser- 
vice for three months, as a part of the Fifty-Fourth Regiment, In- 
diana Volunteers. Two weeks after their arrival at Camp Morton, 
they were ordered, with other troops, into Kentucky. The " Wash- 



132 ADJUTANT general's REPORT, 

ingfon Greys" were detailed for duty on the line of the Louisville 
and Nashville Railroad, where they rendered valuable service till the 
expiration of their term of enlistment. The other two companies 
acquitted themselves creditably in the battle of Richmond, Ken- 
tucky. 

In June, 1863, this regiment was again called upon to furnish 
three companies of infantry for guard duty ot Camp Morton rebel 
prison. The call was immediately responded to by the requisite 
force, which continued on duty for about sixty days, and until 
Iheir services were no longer required. 

In September, 1862, the border was threatened by the advance 
of rebel troops under Kirby Smith, and three companies, besides 
several companies of minufe-men, were called out and remained 
on duty for several weeks. 

On the 1st of January, 1863, the Ninth Regiment consisted of 
seven companies — four of infantry, two of cavalry and one of 
artillery, several of the original companies having been disbanded. 
There were also eight independent companies in the county, which 
tendered their services to repel any attempted invasion of the State. 
During the winter and spring of 1863, there was no occasion to call 
upon the Ninth for any duty, and, except at the time of the Morgan 
Raid, in which it rendered important service, the command was not 
called out during the year. Drills were attended with considerable 
regularity, and a good degree of discipline was constantly main- 
tained. During the fall of this year, the command was augmented 
by the organization of another cavalry company, making the entire 
force on the 1st of January, 1864, four companies of infantry, three of 
cavalry and one of artillery, all v/ell armed, proficient in drill and 
thoroughly imbued with martial spirit. 

On the 9th of June, 1864, the regiment was called out by order 
of Governor Morton and placed on transports ready to proceed to 
Jeffersonville, for defense against threatened invasion, but the emer- 
gency not proving so serious as was apprehended, the men were 
dismissed after awaiting further orders for several days. 

Rebels in large numbers in Trimble and Henry counties, Kentucky, 
necessitated the guarding of the border during the month of June, 
to which duty the men were always prompt to respond, although 
their absence from their farms and other places of business resulted 
in serious loss. The companies of this regiment were provided 
with uniforms at their own expense, drilled regularly and never hesi- 



JENNINGS AND SWITZERLAND REGIMENTS. 133 

tatcd wlien called upon for any duty, whatever personal sacrifice 
its performance might require. 

Ninth Rkgiment, [improperly numbered^) Third Brigade, [Jen- 
ning-s Count//.) — From the 27th of May to the 19th of July, 1861, 
thirteen companies were organized in Jennings counry under the 
command of Colonel George W. Malick. In August, 1863, two 
companies u^ere added. Colonel Malick has furnished no report 
of tlie operations of his command. It appears, however, from other 
sources that the companies were pretty v^-ell armed and occasionally 
drilled. The county not being situate upon the immediate border, 
alarms were less frequent than in the border counties, and guard 
duty was much less arduous. Upon the resignation of Colonel 
Malick, in June, 1862, Major Kennedy Brown assumed the com- 
mai'id and was soon after promoted to the Colonelcy. 

On the loth of July, 1862, the Major commanding was ordered 
to report with his command at Indianapolis, to guard prisoners at 
Camp Morton. Six hundred and fifty men promptly responded to 
the order and immediately reported for duty. Though called out 
for thirty days their services were required for a longer period, and 
they were retained for six weeks, giving entire satisfaction by their 
soldierly deportment and faithful performance of duty. Being mus- 
tered out on the 31st of August, the regiment returned to Jennings 
county, where it continued to drill with regularity and to turn out 
occasionally on false alarms. One company voluntered to go down 
the Mississippi River with exchanged prisoners, on which service 
they were absent nearly a month, losing several men. by disease 
and one by accident. 

Of the subsequent services of this regiment nothing is reported 
except that it was engaged in June, 1864, at Madison, four days, 
in anticipation of a second raid from Morgan, who was then in 
Kentucky with a considerable force. The regiment was a very good 
one, and on all occasions exhibited a commendable readiness to 
obey any call that might be made. 

Tenth Regi:\ient, Third Brigadi;, (Switzerland County). — Fif- 
teen companies were organized in Switzerland county between 
June 17th, 1861, and August 29th, 1863. During the first two 
years of the war, while martial enthusiasm was at its greatest 
height, drills and parades were regularly and frequently held. 

A portion of this command rendered valuable service in guard- 



134 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. ■ 

i 

ing rebel prisoners at Camp Mortor,, in the summer of 1862, and 
was always ready when called upon by the proper authorities, to 1 
do duty at any point. : 

At the time of Kirby Smith's and Bragct's invasion of Ken- 
tucky, eight hundred officers and men, of the Tenth, under com- 
mand of Lieutenant Colonel Stepleton, volunteered their services, 
and, under the order of the Governor, guarded the border thoroughly, ; 
and held themselves in readiness to march to Louisville to aid in ' 
the defense of that city. At one time the Tenth marched to War- : 
saw, Kentucky, for the protection of that place, and on several oc- i 
casions was called out to repel threatened invasions. Three com- j 
panics, at another time, laid u))on their arms along the Ohio every * 
night for three wrecks, watching and guarding against guerrilla i 
bands, which were swarming in the border counties on the opposite j 
shore. . 

Meager and imperfect reports froni the officers of this command : 
preclude the possibility of enumerating the varied and important 
services which it rendered, and which secured for it a high rank I 
among the most efficient regiments of the Legion. J 

Eleventh Regiment, Fourth Brigade, ( Ohio County.) — 
Hugh T. Williams was appointed to the Colonelcy of the ; 
Eleventh Regiment, on t!ic 2-5th of September, 1861, and imme- 
diately assumed command of the three companies, then organized, j 
wb.ich he found in a good state of discipline. Aside from com- j! 
pany and battalion drill, no service was required until the following { 
summer. ■ 

On the 24tli of July, 1862, two companies were called out, one of -j 
wdiich was sent to Burlington, Kentucky, to assist in making ! 
arrests, and to repel an expected attack upon that place; the other j 
company was held in readiness to move in the same direction, 
should its support be required. The former company returned, \ 
after an absence of two days, having made a number of arrests 
without serious opposition. 

On the 28tli of July, 1862, two other eomj^anies were organized 
at Rising Sun, and attached to this command, both of which per- 
formed a considerable amount of guard duty, in which other com- 
panies to some extent participated. 

The threatened raid of Kirby S.mith, and the dangers of preda- 
tory incursions of guerrillas from the neighboring counties in Ken- 



OHIO AM) DEAHnOR^^ REGIMENTS. 135 

tucky, made it necessary to call out the regiment about the 9tli of 
September, 1862. The closest vigilance was required ; guard and 
patrol duty, the collection of all the water-craft, and retention of 
the same on the Indiana shore of the river, and many other im- 
jjortant duties were performed in a highly crjeditable manner, the 
command being retained in active service for several weeks. Dur- 
ing this time two additional companies were organized and 
ordered into camp. The command was further increased by four 
companies of the Eighty-Third. Indiana Volunteers, then organiz- 
ing, and a company of artillery, which were temporarily placed 
under Colonel Williams. 

On the 18th of September, Colonel Williams with an adequate 
force embarked on two gunboats, the " Cottage " and the " Heely," 
and made a reconnoisance of tiie country in the vicinity of Hamilton, 
Kentucky, some eight miles below Rising Sun, for the purpose of 
discovering a battery supposed to be located there, but did not 
succeed in finding either the rebels or their guns. 

Nothing further of special interest appears in the history of this 
comtliand except their very gallant conduct at Vernon, at the time 
of the Morgan raid, of which a full account is given in another 
place. 

Twelfth Regiment, Fourth Brigade, [Dearborn County.) — 
Twelve companies were at various times organized in Dearborn 
county and attached to the Twelfth Regiment. The first com- 
manding officer. Colonel Zephaniah Heustis, held the command 
from September, 1861, to September, 1862, but made no report of 
the organization of companies, or of the services performed during 
that period. Upon the resignation of Colonel Heustis, J. H. 
Buhkam was appointed to the vacancy. At this time (September, 
6th, 1662) the regiment consisted of seven companies, five of in- 
fantry and two of artillery, numbering in the aggi'cgate five hundred 
and fifty, rank and file. On the Sth of September, 1862, the regi- 
ment was called out and placed on duty along the Ohio to protect 
the border. This duty was continued for several weeks, the men 
furnisiiing their own subsistence. The immediate danger iiaving 
passed, much difficulty was experienced in keeping uj5 sufficient 
interest in the organization to insure the continuance of company 
drills. Entire dependence upon their own resources to defray the 
expenses of their armories, music etc., seriously checked military 
enthusiasm. 



136 - ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

Of the subsequent services of tliis command no report has been 
rendered, except of their highly creditable participancy in the various 
movements and operations during the Morgan Raid.* 

In June, 1864, Colonel Burkuam tendered his resignation and 
the vacancy in the command was Tilled by the appointment thereto 
of Colonel John A. Pi.attkr. The command was not afterwards 
called out for duty. 

RESERVE COMPANIES OF THE LEGION. 
A large number of companies of the Legion were organized in 
various counties north of those bordering on the Ohio River, but 
only a few of them could be supplied with arms, and consequently 
but little attention was paid to drill or discipline. Some of these 
companies turned out in the Morgan Raid, but with this exception 
they performed but little or no duty during the war. The interior 
counties were comparatively free from the dangers of raids and 
their militia therefore did not feel the same interest in maintaining 
efficient organizations for home defense as was felt in the more 
exposed counties along our southern border. 

Note. — Many interesting details rolatinf^ to t)ie services of the Legion will be founil in the pub- 
lislied reports of fil.ajor Geueral Love ami Ids subordinates for ISGl-'J (see Legislative documents of 
18ij3;) and in tlie reports for 18(13-4 under the title of "Operations of the Indiana Lcgior.," (see 
Legislative documc^nts of ISlio.) These reports are also published in pamphlet form. 



MILITIA LAW OF 1861. 

Th(^ enactment by the Legislature at the Special Session, 1861, 
of an Act entitled, "An Act for the organization and regulation 
of the Indiana Militia, prescribing penalties for violations of said 
regulations, providing for the election and appointment of officers, 
defining the duties of military and civil officers, and penalties for 
the neglect or violation thereof, providing for Courts Martial, Coun- 
cils of Administration and Military Encampments, making appro- 
priations for the support of said Militia, repealing all laws hereto- 
fore enacted on that subject, saving certain acts therein named, and 
declaring an emergency for the immediate taking effect thereof,"! 
was one of the important measures adopted to meet the emergen- 
cies of the war. The militia had not been organized for thirty

INDIANA LEGION. 137 

year?, and the fragmentary laws, j)assed at various tinics, and 
rt-maitiing unrepealed, were of no force or eflect whatever. The 
act of 1861, aimed to provide for the defense of the Slate, from 
external and internal enemies, without drawing upon troops raised 
for treneral service under the calls of the President. But our Legis- 
lators had little conception, and no practical experience of the 
necessities, created by a state of actual war, at the threshold of our 
own homes, and it was reserved for subsequent events, to reveal 
the real nature of the rebellion, and tlie magnitude of the means 
required to suppress it. The fact, that war clothes the law-makers 
with extraordinary powers, and that a determined and defiant ene- 
my cannot be subdued by a policy of conciliation and compromise, 
unless that policy is fortified and backed up by a well-appointed 
military force, was evidently not fully understood by even the most 
experienced and far-seeing soldiers and statesmen in the land. The 
Legislature could not, then, have reasonably been expected to frame 
a militia system, equal to exigencies that few, if any, anticipated, 
or to ])rovide against dangers of which our own past history gave 
no intimation. The militia laws of other States, had not, in any 
instance, afforded such evidence of their efficiency as to command 
general approval, or warrant their adoption. The militia systems 
of European nations, long accustomed to war and to the mainten- 
ance of large armies, were searched in vain for a model, adapted 
to our condition and circumstances, and the emergencies for which 
we were required to provide. 

A long period of uninterupted peace and unexampled prosperity 
in this country had created an independent spirit of self-reliance, 
which led our people to distrust all protective measures and to dis- 
countenance everything tending to interfere with the largest liberty 
of the citizen. Accustomed to unlimited freedom of action and 
opinion, the idea that any event, except the commission and convic- 
tion of crime, could justify compulsory service, seems scarcely to 
have been entertained. The coercive principle, demanding partial 
abandonment of business pursuits, and sacrifice of time in learning 
the act of war, was so at variance with the habits of communities, 
entirely undisciplined in the school of national adversity, so repug- 
nant to popular notions of personal immunity from restraint — 
obliging every man, not legally exempt, to qualify for active service 
and to perform military duty, at stated periods, the necessity for 
which was based upon remote or apprehended dangers — would iK)t

have met with general appr(.)val, and, eonsequently, could not have 
been enforced ; for, under oar system of government, popular ap- 
proval is a pre-requisite to the enforcement of statutory enact- 
ments. Tiie 7.'oInnlari/ principle had in its favor the important ele- 
ment of popularity. It accorded with American ideas, and was in 
harmony with views of republican freedom, universally accepted 
and cherished. All our wars, from the Revolution down, had been 
fought and won principally by volunteers, and the traditional 
renown of our soldiers, serving from motives of patriotism and not 
per force, had grown brighter and brighter, year by year ; while con- 
scription, as practiced by foreign nations, was regarded as a despotic 
exercise of power, a tyranical invasion of natural rights peculiar to 
monarchical governments. Thus endeared to the whole i)eopIe, the 
system of voluntary service, presented the strongest claims, as a foun- 
dation, for the new militia law of 1861, and it was adopted by the 
Legislature with entire unanimity. While tliis system of service 
must ever remain, the hope and strength of Free America, it is 
not, of itself — bare and alone, as presented in the militia lav/ under 
consideration — equal to the necessities of any State, situated as 
Indiana was, during the late war. 

DEFECTS OF THE LAW. 

The Indiana Militia Law contained little that was objection- 
able or impolitic — it simply did not contain enough. It needed 
more power and less circumlocution. It embodied the voluntary 
principle, which, in itself, is right, but, in case the militia of the 
State did not volunteer, there was no remedy. The law went no 
further, and the Governor and Commander-in-Cliief could not go 
beyond the law. There was no enrollment, as there should have 
been ; and no regulation for organizing any stated quota or propor- 
tion of the arms-bearing population liable to do military service ; no 
inducement to voluntary enlistment; no penalty or tax assessed 
against those who preferred to stand aloof from the organized 
militia. An appropriation was made for the expenses of tlie active 
force, for the years 1861 and 1862, but no practicable provision was 
made for its disbursement, or distribution, among the active forces, 
and it was not until after much service had been rendered that a 
plan could be devised to use the funds, and then only in paying for 
time actually employed, under the Governor's calls to guard the 
border and repel raids. All expenses connected with parades, pro-

curing nniibrms, and lor time spent in organizing and drilling, had 
to be borne by individuals, the law making no provision for these 
heavy and necessary outlays. The law granted but little, and com- 
pelled nothing. The few regulations it contained, intended to be 
constraining and stringent, lost their force from the fact that there 
were few penalties, so insignificant and so seldom exacted, they 
were utterly unheeded by the derelict and delinquent. 

When practically tested, therefore, it soon became apparent that 
the law was radically weak and insufficient ; that the essential 
principle of all effective militia enactments, which compels the per- 
formance of military duty, in peace as well as in war, was lacking, 
and that without it but little could be done toward organizing the 
citizens of tlie State into permanent and well disciplined companies 
and regiments. The little that it did accomplish can not be 
attributed to any provision intended to enforce military duty, but 
was rather, and in fact, the result of the dangers that threatened us, 
and not, strictly speaking, from motives of patriotism, or over- 
weening loyalty. True, there was no deficiency in the loyalty or 
patriotism of any considerable number in this State, as our grand 
army of more than two hundred thousand volunteei-s fully attests, 
though party spirit during the rebellion ran high, and views were 
freely entertained by many inimical to the war policy of the Gov- 
ernment. , 

The great draw back was, that the law did not compel, but only 
invited service. In the central and northern parts of the State, 
where there was little or no danger of raids, the Indiana Legion, 
(as the militia was called) was either not organized at all, or, if 
organized, was not maintained, and therefore amounted to nothing. 
In the Southern counties, and almost exclusively in those bordering 
on the Ohio river, the case was entirely ditTerent. The rebels made 
free use of Kentucky, and during the whole war, that State was a 
favorite recruiting rendezvous for the Southern army, and was 
infested with guerrilla parties, and bands of marauders, always 
intent, and ready to pounce upon and plunder unprotected commu- 
nities of Unionists, north or south. There was, therefore, a stand- 
ing need of a defensive force along the whole river border, from 
Lawrenceburg to the mouth of the Wabash, and from this cause, 
almost entirely, eminated those active and efficient organizations 
of the Leofion, whose services are elsewhere recorded in these 
jiagcs. The people on the border were thus compelled to arm a»cl 



140 ADJUTANT general's REPORT, 

associate themselves together for then- own protection and safety, 
and in doing this, they ensured the safety and protection of their 
more favorably located fellow-citizens in the interior of the State, 
who, from their comparative immunity from danger, did not feel it 
to be their interest to make any defensive preparations. This ap- 
peared unequal, if not enjust. Even on the border, in some of the 
■counties most exposed and liable to invasion, the Legion was 
organized and maintained with the greatest difficulty, by a com- 
paratively small portion of the inhabitants, giving spasmodic evi- 
dence of vitality only when danger appeared, and lapsing into 
indifference when there was no reason to apprehend immediate 
trouble. 

At the close of the war, or as soon as events indicated that the 
strength of the rebellion was nearly exhausted, the law suddenly 
became as inoperative as if it had never been placed on the statute 
book, and every militia company was disbanded, as if by spon- 
taneous and general consent; thus clearly proving that even the 
imperfect, organization of the liome forces had resiTlted, not from 
any law requiring the performance of military duty, or from any 
principle of cohesion that would operate in time of peace, but from 
the external pressure and impending dangers already mentioned. 

In view of these facts, it can not be doubted that a law relying 
alone upon the generous impulses of the more patiotic members of 
community to maintain a miiitia force for the common good — 
to voluntarily lay aside their private business for the performance of 
duties, as much for the benefit of their indifferent neighbors as for 
themselves — must inevitably fall into disfavor and prove a failure. 
The burden ought to be distributed equally and justly, for all who 
are subject to bear arms, under the Constitution of Indiana, unde- 
niably owe so much of service as the public good may require. 
To fairly accomplish this, the following provisions are essential and 
and vital : 

1st. " All able-bodied white male persons, between the ages of 
eighteen and forty-five years, except such as are exempted by the 
laws of the United States, or of this State," * should be enrolled 
annnally. 

2d. The quota of aclire militia, apportioned to the several Con- 
gressional Districts, should then be assigned on the basis of the 
enrollment. 



*See Articl« XII. Constitutioa of Indiana, 



MILITIA ORGANIZATION NECESSARY. 141 

3(1. The residue enrolled, or resvri'C militia, should he nssessed 
an annual tax, as cominntation for exemption from service, which 
tax should be sufficiently large to support the active militia without 
any additional assistance from the public treasury. 

The law should be free from complications and incongruous de- 
tails. Means should be provided for enforcing all its provisions 
promptly ; but all minor rules and regulations should be left to the 
Commander-in-Chief, who, from his intimate connection with the 
militia and knowledge of its ever-varying wants, could settle these 
matters understand ingly and satisfactorily by issoing general 
orders, as the necessities of the service might require. 

NECESSITY FOR MILITIA R G A X I Z A T I -\ . 

The policy of maintaining at all times a well organized militia 
force, lias been so completely vindicated by past events in our 
national tiistory, and is so generally admitted by intelligent men of 
all classes and parties, there is scarcely any occasion for presenting 
an argument in its favor; yet attempts have been made to accom- 
plish this great end so frequently by legislation in this State, and 
as often resulted in failure, a few words in elucidation of its im- 
portance, and by way of warning, may not be inappropriate. 

Remote as is this country from the great military powers of 
Europe ; separated by the broad Atlantic from countries that might, 
if in close proximity, be troublesome neighbors; having no pros- 
pect of rivalry for national supremacy on this continent, and 
cherishing our "ancient policy" of non-intervention in the affairs 
of foreign governments, we can never require, and the people will 
never consent to support a large standing army. The necessity of 
a constant preparation for war, however, is univerally acknowl- 
edged. Such a condition is the best conservator and surest guar- 
antor of peace. To dispense with the burden of a large regular 
force, and at the same time maintain an attitude sufficiently 
formidable to overawe douiestic malcontents and deter foreign 
aggression, we must rely mainly upon the militia. 

But no man, in these enlightened days, is a "natural born soldi(T," 
nor do any number of men, however brave, without the benefits 
conf(>rred by organization, discipline, and "the school of the sol- 
dier," constitute an army, when superiority in military science as- 
sures success in the field and is of far more importance than untrain- 
ed numercial strength. It will be remembered that on-thc day after 



142 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

President Lincoln issued his first call for troops, several Massachu- 
setts cxiid New York regiments were en route for the National 
Capital. These regiments were armed, uniformed and well trained — 
the result of the militia system of those States. A moment's re- 
flection will show how vital it might have been to the fortunes of 
the Government to have been deprived of even this small force. 
Suppose, in the conspiracy concocted by the statesmen of the re- 
bellion, preparations had been made, as might easily and quietly 
have been done under discreet leadership, simultaneous with the 
firing of the first gun on Sumter, to have thrown a force of a few 
thousand men into Washington. The treasure, archives and all the 
ensemble of the Government could have been captured and utterly 
destroyed, or carried off, before armed and organized~Troops could 
have been sent in sufficient numbers to have prevented the dis- 
aster. The prestige of such a bold stroke would have been most 
crushing to the loyal people of this country, and in the highest de- 
gree encouraging to the rebels and to their sympathizers in the old 
world. While it would have enlightened the officers of our Gov- 
ernment as to the earnest determination of the men of the South 
to make, what at first was looked upon as a petty '• insurrection," 
a formidable and bloody rebellion, unparalled in history, and in- 
cited the people of the North to a greater patriotism, (if such a 
thing were possible) it would also have given additional strength and 
drawn out a corresponding feeling of devotion to the rebel cause. 
The first grand blunder of the war — " Bull Run," and its effect 
upon the South — is the best evidence that can be adduced as to 
the encouragement the rebels would have derived from the capture 
of Washington. The fall of Richmond crushed the rebellion — the 
fall of Washington would have "crippled," for a time at least, the 
Union. The moral effect of such a triumph in their behalf would 
have told with tremendous power against us, and though the final 
termination of the struggle must inevitably have been adverse to the 
enemy, the end would probably have been delayed much longer 
and the waste of life and treasure much greater than is now re- 
corded in history. Of course " it might have been " when it was 
NOT, is a poor argument as the case turned out, but it is neverthe- 
less an admonition which it will surely not be unwise to heed. 
Had the loyal States been prepared for war, their militia organ- 
ized on a sound basis to the extent that even ordinary prudence

would dietute. ihe rebellion would not have lasted through lis four 
long years of desolation and blood. That the militia was not so 
organized may be attributed to the same inertia and indill'erence 
that now so completely clouds the public mind on this subject. 

We live in stirring times. The rebellion may not yet be sur- 
pressed. Its iires may only be smouldering. The safest policy lor 
State and Nation is to act upon the old motto: "Eteunal vigi- 

LAXCK IS THK PRICE OF LiBKRTV." 



THE RAID ON NEWBURG. 

i'lKST INVASION OF THE STATE-JULY 18, ISG^, 
The first invasion of this State, or indeed of any of the iree 
States, by an armed and organized force of rebels, occurred on the 
18th day of July, 1862, at Newburg, the principal town of Warrick 
county, situate on the Ohio River fifteen miles above Evansville. 
The movement was hardly of a sufiiciently formidable character to 
entitle it to the dignity of an "invasion," as the force consisted of 
bur thirty-two oHicers and men, whose object was plunder aiid 
whose conduct was that of thieves rather than soldiers. 

The leader of these marauders was one Adam R. Jounson, a 
citizen of Henderson, Kentucky, who had previously served in the 
rebel army, and who was at this time in command of a small force 
of mounted men, some of whom were deserters from the Federal 
army — raiding through the southwestern counties of Kentucky, 
committing outrages upon the persons and depredations upon the 
property of such citizens as were suspected of sympathy with the 
Governnient of the United States. Whether Johnson held a com- 
mission in the Confederate service at the time of this occurrence, 
or was acting as an independent guerrilla chief, is not definitely 
known, but it is known that the rank of Colonel was subsequently 
conferred upon hini with authority to recruit or conscript lor 
Bkagg's anny, and that he made his name infamous by acts of 
demoniac cruelty. His band became a terror throughout the region 
they infested, and when, in the sunnner of 1S6-1, his career of active 
crime was terminated by a wound that deprived him of sight, there 
were few, even among the ardent friends of the Southern cause, 
who felt that his fate was undeserved. 

Although Newburg- was not a military post, a hospital had been 



144 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

established there which contained eighty or ninety sick and wounded 
Union soldiers, with a considerable amount of commissary and 
hospital stores. The muskets, accoutrements and ammunition of 
the two Newburg companies of the Legion, which had been col- 
lected in some months previously, were also deposited in the hos- 
pital building; while in a w^arehouse, not far distant, seventy-five 
sabres and one hundred and thirty holsters and pistols were stored 
in the boxes in which they had been shipped. There being no in- 
dications of danger, no guard was stationed for the protection of 
the patients in the hospital or the public property. 

In nearly every community throughout the North there was a 
disloyal clement — men whose sympathies were with the enemies 
of the Government and who were dangerous in proportion to their 
courage and to the opportunities which circumstances presented 
for mischief. Newburg was no exception to the general rule, while 
its particularly exposed position, and the near proximity of a rebel 
force, presented a most favorable opportunity for secession 
residents to covertly aid in striking a blow for the cause they so 
earnestly desired to serve, and for which they were willing to do 
anything that might be required, except perhaps to fight. Several 
men of this class had clandestinely crossed the river and had sought 
interviews with Johnson. They had explained to him the situation 
of affairs, and shown that once in possession of the hospital and 
the arms of the Legion deposited there, the town and its inhabitants 
would be at his mercy. Earl}! in the morning, on the day of the 
raid, one of these domestic traitors visited the camp of Johnson's 
gang, and in concert with the leading spirits of the band, finally 
consummated arrangements for the proposed surprise. 

NEWBURG CAPTUUEr. 
Accordingly, at noon, wiicn most of the citizens were at dinner, 
Johnson appeared on the bank of the river opposite Newburg, 
placed his men on a large ferry-boat, concealed them as well as 
possible, and rowed rapidly to the Indiana shore. As soon as the 
boat touched the landing a dash was made for the hospital, and 
the wareliouse and the arms stored therein were at once secured. 
Pickets were thrown out in all directions, and the inhabitants were 
assured that their lives depended on remaining perfectly quiet. 
Johnson informed the citizens that he had a battery planted on the 
opposite side of the river so as to completely command the town, 
and that on the first appearance of resistance to any of his demands 



THE MILITIA CALLED OUT. 145 

he wonkl shell and destroy the phice. There is reason to belicjve 
that this was a fiction, designed to j^romote quiet on the part of ilie 
people, while the work of plunder was going on. Tlie soldierr; in 
the hospital, to the nnmber of eighty-five, were required to sign 
paroles of honor, in which the leader of the marauders was styled 
"A. R. JoHxXSGN, C. S. A." These paroles were never claimed as 
valid by the Confederate authorities and were held as null and void 
by those who signed them. While Johnson was personally en- 
gaged in paroling the sick and wounded soldiers, his men, guided 
by some of the citizens, commenced the genial business of pillage. 
Houses were broken open and ransacked ; horses were taken from 
the stables, and coffee, sugar and other articles, that could readily 
be transported, were stolen in large quantities. In some instances 
property was spared on the assurance being given that its owners 
were "all right." Several eitizeris mingled freely with the invaders, 
drank with them and appeared delighted with their society. After 
remaining four or five hours, during which time the boat was kept 
busy in transporting their plunder, the commander ordered his men 
to embark and they were speedily transferred to the other shore. 
After their departure, two men, II. H. Carxey and Elliott Mkf- 
i-oiiD, who had been suspected of holding communication with the 
rel)els, and who, on this occasion, had been particularly officious 
in pointing out property for seizure, were attacked and killed by 
some of the citizens. 

THE MILITIA CALLED OUT. 

Meantime Colonel Danikl V. Bates, commanding the Third 
Regiment, Indiana Legion, was engaged in rallying the county 
companies of his command. In a short time five companies were 
ready vvith arms for duty, but not before the rebels had accom- 
plished their purpose and effected their escape. The wildest rumors 
were circulated in every direction, and not only Warrick and adja- 
cent counties were alarmed, but the entire State was thoroughly 
aroused. A courier arrived at Evansville early in th:^ afternoon 
with intelligence that the Newburg hospital was being sacked by a 
large band of Kentucky guerrillas. The signal of danger was 
given and in less than an hoijr one thousand men were underarms. 
Two steamers, the "Eugene" and " Courier," were fired up, and 
with infantry and artillery on board, proceeded up the river. Colonel 
William E. Hollingsworth, commanding the Second Regiment

neither the water nor land expedition effected anything beyond 
the destruction, by the formisr, of the boat in whieli the rebels had 
crossed and recrossed the Ohio. 



EXPEDITION TO KENTUCKY, 

JULY, 18 62. 

The: situation in Western Kentucky, at the time of the raid on 
Newburg, (July ISth, 1862), was critical, Union men were plun- 
dered, and not unfrequently murdered in cold blood ; many of 
them were compelled to flee from their homes and abandon their 
property to merciless thieves, who, in the name of the so-called 
" Confederacy of America," either appropriated and carried away 
or destroyed, when they felt they dared do so, all that was useful 
to them, or destructable. The citizens of South Western Indiana, 
was subjected to constant alarms and dangers, and were scarcely 
less secure than their Union neighbors residing on the other side of 
the Ohio. Henderson city, twelve miles below Evansville, w-as 
occupied by the rebels under Adam Johnson; John Morgan was 
on his first raid through Central Kentucky, jjreliminary to the 
grand invasion of that section of the State by Kirby Smith and 
Bragg ; and everywhere, from the " Blue Grass region" to Padu- 
cah, the most energetic efforts were being made to raise recruits 
for the rebel army. Recruiting stations were opened at all points 
not occupied by our forces, and independent bands of guerrillas and 
desperadoes infested every neighborhood, and rendered the lives 
and property of Union citizens, on both sides of the river, so inse- 
cure as to call for immediate and vigorous action. 

Governor Morton had already sent off all effective forces that 
could be spared to repel the raid then in progress through Cen- 
tral Kentucky,* and to enable him to do so had called out a large 
number of militia to guard the rebel prisoners at Indianapolis. 
The border counties were thus unavoidably left to protect them- 
selves. The organizations of the Legion, as a general thing, were 
in poor condition, from lack of arms" and experience, to interpose 
any formidable barrier to tlie progress of the enemy should he have 
undertaken to invade the State in any considerable force. Evans-

VOLUNTEERS FOR THE EXPEDITION. 147 

villc was considered, and really was, in great peril, and the other 
towns on the lower Ohio river border of the State were exposed 
to invasion at any moment, and liable to be sacked and destroyed, 
almost without " let or hindrance/' The Governor, therefore, im- 
mediately, on receipt of news of the Newburg outrage, determined 
to assume the offensive, organize an expedition sufficiently strong 
to penetrate the heart of the infected territory, and drive the rebels 
out, whereby he hoped to break up their recruiting stations, restore 
order in Kentucky, and secure our own border from the dangers 
that threatened and alarmed it. He accordingly advised with 
General Boyle, commanding the District of Kentucky, and asked 
from him authority to organize an expedition against the rebels in 
that State, which was readily and gladly granted. 

In pursuance of the plans laid for this campaign, Major General 
LovK, commanding the Indiana Legion, was dispatched on the 18th of 
July, at midnight, to Evansville, by special train, with one com- 
pany of troops, and one thousand stand of arms, a section of field 
artillery, and a large supply of ammunition. Brigadier General 
Blytiie, of the Legion, whose headquarters V\-ere at Evansville, 
■ was enjoined to exercise the utmost vigilance in watching and 
guarding exposed points on the Ohio river, pending the arrival of 
General Love ; and on the morning of the 19th, a call was made 
by the Governor for volunteers, and the Legion on the border was 
ordered on duty. 

Among to the first to respond were six hundred citizens of De- 
catur county, recruited in a few hours by Colonels James GAViiV. 
Seventh Indiana Volunteers, and John T. Wilder, Seventeenth 
Indiana Volunteers, who happened at the time to be at their homes 
on short leaves of absence from their regiments. In announcinjr 
the readiness of the Decatur volunteers to receive orders for im- 
mediate service. Colonel Gavin telegraphed on the same day the 
call was issued, as follows : 

" These men want to fight. I want to take them where there is dan- 
ger. They are fighting men. Please arm them and send them offat 
once where they can do active duty. They are better men than you 
can get." 

The Newburg raid had aroused the indignation of the people of 
the whole State, and the disposition to inflict immediate punish- 
ment upon the rebels was manifest in every Iocali«ty and is forcibly 
indicated in the above dispatch. The Governor replied : 



148 ADJUTANT GENERAL S REPORT. 

" Bring your men here. I will send them to Evansville immedi- 
ately, armed for a tight." 

On receiving this order, Colonels Gavin and Wildhr started at 
once for the scene of operations witli their enthusiastic volunteers 
stopping only long enough at Indianapolis to be mustered into the 
United States' service for thirty days, arriving at Evansville on the 
evening of the 20th. The men were organized into six companies. 
Two tine companies from Tern; Haute, (one of them the " Union 
Rifles," Captain Melville D. Topping,* splendidly armed and 
equipped and neatly uniformed,) tendered their services, were ac- 
cepted and reached Evansville also on the 20th. From Lafayette, 
two companies were accepted under Captains Godlove S. Orth 
and Samuel A. Huff, and were despatched to Evansville on the 
2 1st. Governor Morton also proceeded thither and arrived the 
same evening. The ten companies thus thrown together were or- 
ganized as the Seventy-Sixth Regiment Indiana Volunteers.| A 
German company of Terre Haute, one hundred strong, was also 
sent forward, and numerous tenders of independent companies 
from many counties were made, but being in excess of the number 
required were not accepted. 

General Love arrived at Evansville early on the 19th, and found 
everything in confusion; but by judicious management, order was 
soon evoked from chaos, public confidence restored, and pn^para- 
tions speedily completed for the proposed expedition. A steam 
ram, belonging to the United States, lying at the landing, by di- 
rection of the Governor, was 'pressed into service until a gun-boat 
could be procured from the fleet below. Captain Topping's com- 
pany was placed on board and ordered to proceed up Green River, 
to relieve two steam boats, which it was believed the rebels were 
aiming to capture, and also to protect the locks on that stream. 

The day following, (the 20th,) General Love telegraphed the re- 
turn of the ram, with Captain Topping's company, the safety of 
the locks, and that the rebels were reported by reliable Union men 
as having abandoned that line of operations and returned toward 
Henderson. In addition to the authority given by General Boyle 
to the Governor to carry on the war in the Green river country of 
Kentucky, he ordered Colonel Gavin to mount his regiment and 
enjoined upon him to " Drive out the rebel bands in Henderson,

Adding — "They must be shot — nothing else will do; I do not 
want such prisoners." 

In response to the application of the Governor for a gun-boat, 
Captain PENNOCK,of the United States Navy, responded in person, 
and reported to General Lovk with two armed steamers, the " Clara 
Dolson," and " Kob Roy," on which were a detachment of Illinois 
troops, under Colonel Moore, and a battery, under Major StarkinCt, 
detailed by General Strong, commanding at Cairo. These boats 
were directed to cruise up "and down the river, with the view of 
protecting the towns from pillage, and aflbrding such assistance to 
General Love as might be required. Captain Union Bethei-, of 
Warrick county, reported with a company of the Legion, mounted, 
and, after unceasing labor, all things were in readiness for a for- 
ward movement by midnight of the 21st. 

The following dispatch, from the Governor to his Military Sec- 
retary, forwarded immediately on his arrival at Evansville, on the 
22d, will show the position of affairs at that time, and convey some 
idea of the rapidity wntli which the troops — most of them suddenly 
drawn from their farms and shops, and from widely distant points. — 
had been concentrated, organized, armed, equipped, many of them 
mounted, and transported to the field of active operations.* 

" About one o'clock this morning, near one thousand infantry, cavalry and artiller} . 
crossed the river to Henderson, and took possession without opposition. At day- 
light, Colonel Gavin advanced into the interior, with five hundred men. 
ram " Hornet " has gone up the river, with one company (Oktii's) on board, to 
visit all the tov/ns. There is much excitement in the country-, on both sides of the 
river. Another company went to Henderson this afternoon." 

General Lovk remained a week at Henderson and in that vicin- 
ity, sending out detachments into the surrounding country after 
the rebels, who, as soon as it was ascertained that vigorous means 
had been resorted to, to hunt them down, suddenly left that part of 
the State. Several skirmishes occurred, and a few of the enemy, 
with their horses and arms, were captured. The influence exerted 
by the presence of our troops was at once marked and salutary; 
Unionists, who had been compelled to seek safety in Indiana, soon 
returned, confident of protection ; while the disloyal were made to 
understand that treasonable practices could no longer be indulged 
in with impunity. Lieutenant Colonel John W. Foster, of the

KIRBY SMITH'S CAMPAIGN— 1862. 

liUA(i(JS' INVASION OF KENTUCKY. 

In the month of August, 1862, the right wing of General Brax- 
ton Bragg's rebel army, consisting of some twenty thousand 
men, under command of General E. Kirby Smith, was concen- 
trated at Knoxville, Tennessee, and other points in that vicinity 
preparatory to the fulfulment of the part assigned it in the Con- 
federate plan of a general advance upon the North, and a transfer 
of the scat of war beyond the limits of the Confederacy. 

Leaving a force of eight thousand, under command of General 
Stephenson, in front of Cumberland Gap — then occupied by Gen- 
eral G. W. Morgan, with a small division of the Army of the 
Ohio — General Smith, with twelve thousand men, the veterans 
of his command, pressed through Big Creek, and Rogers' Gaps of 
the Cumberland Mountains, and moved towards the " Blue Grass 
Region," of Kentucky ; his obvious intention being, to menace, 
and, if possible, capture and sack Cincinnati, and other cities and 
towns, north of the Ohio river; destroy important rail roads, and 
break up other means of communication ; detain re-inforcements 
from General Buell, and force the withdrawal, from the iront, of a 
large part of the Union army, required for the j^rotection of such 
exposed and defenseless points, on the Ohio and Indiana border, as 
his advance would threaten. Buell's army, being thus weakened by 
demands for home defense, and the new levies, under the second 
call, for three hundred thousand men, not having been raised, and 
sent to the field, the rebel authorities confidently expected the main 
portion of Bragg's army, under his immediate command, would be

able TO enter Kentucky, with comparatively little ()p|)osi1ion, and, 
after capturing Louisville, and re-inforcing his army by recruits 
from the disloyal element of Kentucky, form a junction with Saiith, 
for an extensive line of operations, in any direction circumstances 
might appear to justify. The hope of securing recruits, in large 
numbers, was by no means visionary, as it was well known that 
thousands in Kentucky were only waiting a favorable op[)ortu!iity 
to array themselves under the rebel standard, while even at that 
time, recruiting for John Morgan's cavalry was being prosecuted 
with marked success in the south-western section of the State, and 
scores of young men weie added to Smith's force in every county 
along his line of marcho A few weeks later, several entire regi- 
ments of cavalry were raised in the "Blue Grass Region," which 
finally left the State with the invaders, splendidly mounted at their 
own expense- 

MOIlGA^-S GO-OPEIIATIVE RAID. 

As a prelude to the grand invasion. General Smith had dis- 
patched the cavalry force of John Morgan on an extensive raid 
tlirough parts of Tennessee and Kentucky. Leaving Knoxville on 
the 4th of July, Morgan moved byway of Sparta, Tompkinsville, 
Lebanon, Cynthiana, Paris, Crab Orchard and Somerset, capturing 
and paroling small garrisons at many points, securing large acces- 
sions of recruits and supplying his men with arms, accoutrements, 
flothing and horses. 

On the 10th, General Jeremiah T. Boylk, commanding the 
District of Kentucky, telegraphed from Frankfort to Governor 
Morton for troops: 

" Rebels invading Kentucky. Send your batter}' to-night and any 
forces you can possibly spare. Put the Legion in order for motion and 
direct as many as possible to report to my hcadquaters to-morrow." 

The Governor promptly replied : 

"Our batteries sent to Washington last week. The only organ- 
ized United States troops we have are guarding j)risoners and 
can not be spared. 1 have telegraphed about the Legion, but fear 
no companies are in shape to move." 

At this time Major General Love, of the Legion, was on the 
border endeavoring to organize the militia in Vanderburg and Posey. 
He was at once telegraphed to, but replied that there were no com- 
panies organized and in condition to answer General Boyle's call. 



152 ADJUTANT general's KEPORT. 

Generals Blythf:, Mansfield and Downey, of the Legion, were 
ordered to call out their forces, — the last two officers being required, 
in addition to guarding the border, to furnish enough men to guard 
Camp Morton rebel prison, so as to allow a part of the three months' 
troops (also of the Legion) then guarding prisoners to be sent to 
General Boylk. The result of this order was all that could have 
been expected; the response was so j:)rompt the C4overnorwas able, 
on the 11th, to send seven companies — six hundrd men — of the 
Fifty-Fifth Indiana Volunteers, under Lieutenant Colonel Mahan, 
fully armed and equipped and well disciplined, to the capital of 
Kentucky via Louisville. The same day General Love was ordered 
from Evansvilie to Louisville, by the Governor, to confer with 
General Boyle in relation to affording him additional relief, if 
possible, with the Legion. 

Love reached Louisville on the 14th, and telegraphed the follow- 
ing report : 

" I apprehend no danger to Louisville. Morgan has a force said 
to be tifteen hundred — not half that in my judgement — with which 
he doubtless proposes to stop our communications with Nashville, 
creating confusion and plundering as he goes. One good regiment 
of cavalry would drive him from the State. Henderson and vicinity 
are most in danger." 

On the same day, in compliance with General Boy-li^/s requisi- 
sition. Governor Mortox sent from the Indiana Arsenal two car 
loads of ammunition by special train for the use of the troops at 
Frankfort; and on the 17th four hundred men of the Fifty-Fourth 
Indiana A'^olunteers, under Lieutenant Colonel Knox, were sent 
from Camp Morton to General Boyle. High excitement prevailed 
on the border, as the Legion, imperfectly organized as it was, was 
compelled to take the place of the disciplined forces in charge of 
Camp Morton, containing four thousand rebel prisoners, and guard 
the border besides. The Jennings county regiment — ten full com- 
panies — responded to the call under Major, afterwards Colonel, 
Kennedy BRO^vN in a body; besides seven other companies from 
vnrious counties prom|)tly reported, all being mustered into the 
United States' service for thirty days. The border was thus left to 
its own resources for defense, and the danger of invasion, for aught 
the people knew, was immediate and very great. 

New difficulties sprang up hourly. On the 12th, while the 
Governor was trying to help General Boyle in Kentucky, and put 



HENDERSON AND KVANSVILLE IN DAN(.ER. l')S 

ilie reserve force.-^ of Indiana in a fit condition for home defense, 
General Green Ct.ay Smith, Commanding at Henderson, Ken- 
tucky, telegraphed Ihe commanding officer of the Legion at Evans- 
ville, as follows : 

" On account of the raid at Tompkinsville, Kentucky, nearly 'dl 
my troops have been withdrawn from this post, and I feel myself in 
no condition to resist an attack, which 1 am informed by reliable 
citizens will be made upon us within a day or two. Therefore, 1 
wish you would send down, l)y the first boat, two hundred of your 
Indiana Legion, with at least live days' rations, so that in case it 
be necessary I can send them into the country prepared for any 
emergency.'" 

At this time, it should be remembered, the Legion was scarcely 
a " skeleton organization;'' besides, Evansville was, from its size 
and importance as a northern city and the vast amount of " ]5liui- 
der" it contained, in (juite as much danger of being attacked as 
Henderson. There was no artillery on the border, and but few of 
the companies of the Legion enrolled were armed. So, of course, 
it was impossible to comply with General Smith's request. 

General Love, after conferring with the military authorities at 
Louisville, hastened back to the lower counties on the Ohio river, 
for the purpose of completing the organization of the Legion, and 
the Governor succeeded in securing a few thousand muskets for 
use in that quarter. The raid on Newburg followed on the 18th 
of July, and was the means of stirring up the people to a sense of 
their situation, which they had never known before. Newburg was 
captured; Green Clay Smith was driven out of Henderson; the 
whole " Green River country" over-run with rebel bands, and the 
Indiana border threatened w^ith invasion at many points. 

Morgan finished his first raid through Kentucky on the 27th of 
.luly, at which date he re-crossed the Cumberland into Tennessee, 
having marched more than a thousand miles in twenty-four days. 
The command moved to Sparta, where it remained until near the 
last of August, when it again took the field and moved on GJalla- 
tin, capturing the small garrison stationed there. Pushing forward 
to the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, Morgan destroyed the 
track for some distance, and cut the telegraph wires, thus breaking 
up Buell's line of supplies and severing his communication with 
the North. Returning to Gallatin, Morgan encountered a Federal 



154 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

force of six hundred men, under General Johnson, and, after a brief 
engagement, succeeded in capturing a part and dispersing the re- 
mainder. A small detachment of the Fiftieth Indiana Volunteers, 
under Captain Atkisson, garrisoning a stockade at Edgefield 
Junction, repulsed* Morgan's force three times, with heavy loss, 
and successfully held the position. 

At Hartsville, Tennessee, on the 28th of August, MorcxAN re- 
ceived an order from his commanding officer, General Smith, to 
join him at Lexington, Kentucky, on the 2d of September, and the 
next day marched by way of Scottsville, Glasgow, Columbia, 
Liberty, Houstonville, Danville and Nicholasville, cautiously picking 
his way between Federal forces, as if anxious to avoid a collision, 
and arriving at Lexington on the 4th of September. 

SIGNS OF TROUBLE. 

The earliest indications of the contemplated invasion by Kirby 
Smith were closely watched by Generals Buell and G. W. Mor- 
gan, and promptly reported to the War Department and the mili- 
tary authorities of Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio, Impelled by a 
necessity that admitted of no delay, the Government bent every 
energy to the work of placing the new levies, under the call of 
July, in the field. The Secretary of War urgently appealed to 
this State to use the utmost dispatch in filling its quota, 21,250 
men. To this appeal Governor Morton replied, on the 9th of Au- 
gust, with the assurance that the men would be raised in twenty 
days. 

On the 8th, the Governor received a telegram from General Buell, 
then at Huntsville, Alabama, stating that a formidable raid threat- 
ened Kentucky, and earnestly recommending that troops should be 
sent to General Boyle, with the utmost dispatch. Two days later 
General Boyli: forwarded a dispatch from General Morgan, dated 
at Cumberland Gap, giving the numbers and position of the ene- 
my, as nearly as could be ascertained, and expressing the opinion 
that Smith would invade Kentucky by way of Jamestown and 
Big Creek Gap. This opinion was reiterated on the 12th, with ad- 
ditional details relative to the accumulation of transportation at 
Knoxville, and other preparatory steps, leaving no doubt of the 
speedy realization of Buell's apprehensions and Morgan's predic- 
tions. 



UPRISING OF THE PEOPLE. 155 

I N D I A N A A T ^\■ R K. 

So prompt had been the response of the State to the call of the 
Government, by the evening of the 11th, not less than 20,000 
men were gathered at various rendezvous, waiting to be mustered 
and armed, and on that day two regiments were forwiirded to 
Kentucky. 

The Secretary of War, having authorized General Bukll, to 
dispose of all troops raised in this State, until further orders, that 
odicer telegraphed from Huntsvilie, on the 12th, that Morgan had 
again crossed the Cumberland, and earnestly urged the forwarding 
of troops to General Boyle. 

On the morning of the 13th, the Seventieth Regiment left India- 
napolis for Louisville, and reported to the commanding officer at 
Bowling Green on the 15th, being the first of the new levies raised 
and the first sent to Kentucky from any State, under the then 
pending call. Another regiment was sent on the 16th, and another 
on the following day. At the same date the Governor was informed 
that Smith's forces were marching through Big Creek Gap; that 
the rebels, under Mokgan, had again invaded Kentucky, had cap- 
tured Somerset, and were marching on Glasgow, Bowling Green 
and other points. In transmitting this speedy information Gen- 
eral Boyle added, '• I hope the patriotic soldiers of Indiana will 
not wait for bounties. Our State will be overrun if they do 
and your own borders desolated." At this date, (as has been 
noticed) John Morgan cut off all communication with Nashville, 
and General Buell. The intentions of the enemy were now 
clearly apparent; the formidable invasion of Kentucky was an 
actual fact, and the danger to our own border imminent. 

The people in all parts of the State were thoroughly aroused, 
and different sections vied with each other as to which should be 
first to fill its quota. Camps were full of troops impatiently wait- 
ing for iriustering officers. Arms were not provided by the Gov- 
ernment, and could not be procured by the Governor, at the mo- 
ment in sufficient quantity, to supply the forces, impatiently wait- 
ing to be off to the field. Colonel Henry B. Carrington, of the 
regular army, one of the most active and efficient nmstering offi- 
cers and organizers in the service, was detailed by the Secretary of 
War, with orders to relieve Colonel Simonson as Chief Mustering 
and Disbursing officer for the State.* Colonel Carrington reported

to Governor Morton on the IStli, and entered upon his dulie.s with 
a zeal and energy productive of the happiest results. During that 
day the Seventy-First was mustered and drew their arms. 

At this point a dilHculty arose, from the fact that funds to pay 
the advance bounty, to wliich the men of the Seventy-First were 
entith'd, had not been forwarded from Washington. Many had 
left their homes suddenly, without providing for the maintenance 
of their families, expecting to receive the stipulated bounty-money 
in time to remit it before going to the field. They felt a natural 
reluctance to leaving the State, with the chances of battle in the 
immediate future, unless the wants of their families could be at 
least temporarily provided for. Governor Morton addressed the 
troops, explaining the urgent necessity of their instant departure, 
and proposed to send the money to them as soon as it could be 
obtained. Every murmur was hushed, and the men, with cheerful 
alacrity, shouldered their guns and started for the front. On the 
morning of tlie 19th, the Governor effected an arrangement with 
citizens and bankers, of Indianapolis and Cincinnati, for an ad- 
vance of nearly half a million dollars, and during that day and 
the succeeding night, the Twelfth and Sixteenth, (re-organized) 
Sixty-Eighth, and Sixty-Ninth Regiments were mustered, paid, and 
started for Kentucky. By tlie evening of the 20th, the Sixty-Fifth, 
Sixty-Sixth, and Sixty-Seventh Regiments had also been placed 
under the orders of General Boyle. The money due the Seventy- 
First was promptly forwarded, and paid on the Richmond battle- 
field, half an hour before the action opened. 

Still the work went on. All the camps of rendezvous w^ere 
crowded. Mustering Officers, Paymasters, Quartermasters, and 
Commissaries, worked by day and night. The Governor and his 
military staff labored with little cessation for needfvrl rest. The 
Seventy-Fourth and Seventy-Fifth Regiments were mustered, and 
moved forward on the 21st. On the 27th and 28th two regiments 
were sent forward, and were followed by from one to three regi- 
ments daily, for several successive days. The Eighteenth, Nine- 
teenth, and Twenty- First Batteries, Light Artillery, were also filled to 
the maximum, armed and equipped, and sent to the field. Others 
were in process of organization, but were delayed for the want of 
horses, arms, and equipments. The Fifth Cavalry Volunteers was 
mustered, and assigned to duty on our southern border, and a bat- 
talion of the Fourth Cavalry organized and sent to Kentucky. 



BATTLE OF RICHxMOND/ 157 

The Ohio rivt-r, at this period, was fordable at many points, and 
as all available United States troops had been sent out of the 
State, (except the Fifth Cavalry) the duty of defending the border, 
;is before stated, devolved mainly upon the Legion, aided by sueli 
miiuite-men as could be hastily organized and armed. 

On the 5th of September, Governor MoRTon issued an order,* 
declaring martial law, and closing all places of business in the sev- 
eral cities and town in the counties bordering on the Ohio river at 
tb.ree o'clock, p. M., each day ; requiring all able-bodied white male 
citizens, between the ages of eighteen and forty-five, residing in 
said border counties, to organize themselves into companies, elect offi- 
cers, and report for orders to the commanding officer of the Lcgicni in 
their respective counties, arming themselves with such arms as could 
be procured, and paying strict attention to drill and discipline. 

This order was obeyed with great spirit and cheerfulness, and 
so thoroughly was the river guarded and all weak points garrisoned, 
the peace of the State was securely preserved, although the Ken- 
tucky counties adjacent were swarming with desperate and ven- 
tursome bands of guerrillas and marauders. 

At the Indiana A.rsenal about seven hundred hands were em- 
ployed in the fabrication of ammunition, turning out an average of 
300,000 rounds daily. 

BATTLE OF lUCHMOND. 

pAcnts soon proved that the anxiety of General Bovm: to have 
Indiana's quota hurried into Kentucky, was well founded and the 
uni)rccedented efforts made by the State authorities were fully 
justitied. Six regiments, the Twelfth, Sixteenth, Fifty-Fifth, 
Sixty-Sixth, Sixty-INInth and Seventy-First, with the Ninety- 
Fifih Ohio, Eighteenth Kentucky, a detachment of Kentucky cav- 
alry and two l)atteries majmed principally by teamsters and train 
guards cut oiT from Cumberland Gap, had been moved beyond 
Lexington towards the advancing army of General Smith, and on 
the 29th and 30th of August, fought the well contested and sanguin 
ary engagement known as the Battle of Richmond. The eight regi- 
ments of infantry were divided into two brigades, the First con- 
sisting of the Sixteenth, Fifty-Fifth, Sitxty-Ninth and Seventy- 
First Lidiana, under command of Brigadier General IMaui-on D, 
Mansox; and the Second consisting of the Twelfth and Sixty- 
Sixtli Indiana, Eighteenth Kentucky, Ninety-Fifth Ohio, a Bat-

talion of the Third Tennessee, and Lanphear's Michigan Battery, 
under command of Brigadier General Charles Crukt, both expe- 
rienced and brave officers from this State. 

The Indiana regiments had been in the service only from ten to 
twenty days, dming which time they had made such frequent 
changes of encampments, and had been so heavily drawn upon for 
guard duty that but little time had been devoted to drill. They 
were brave and patriotic armed and uniformed men — rather than 
trained and disciplined soldiers. 

The disastrous result of the battle is well known. Two thou- 
sand officers and men, including General Manson, were captured 
and paroled. The loss in killed and wounded in the Indiana regi- 
ments was nearly one thousand. Colonel Link, of the Twelfth, 
Lieutenant-Colonel Wolfe, of the Sixteenth, and Lieutenant-Col- 
onel Topping, of the Seventy-First, were among the killed. Nine 
pieces of artillery fell into the hands of the enemy. 

The enemy's forces, by the admission of rebel officers, numbered 
twelve thousand infantry, four thousand cavalry and sixteen pieces 
of artillery. General Manson states that not more than twenty- 
five hundred men on the Union side were engaged at any one 
time. 

General Boyle manifested his high appreciation of the gallantry 

of our trot)ps, and the eii ..s of our authorities, in the following 

dispatch to the President: 

Louisville, September Isl, 1862. 
President Lincoln, Washington: 

The battle near Richmond was disastrous to us. Six Indiana, one Kentucky, and 
one Ohio rej^uncnt, besides some Kentucky cavalry, were in the engagement, Our 
troops, esjiecially the Indianians, fought with the courage and gallantry of veterans. 
If Ohio and Illinois had supported Indiana, and had sent their troops on, tlie issue 
of the battle would have been dififereut. Governor Morton has sent to this State 
since I have been in command here, over twenty thousand men. If other States 
had done so well, we could have overwhelmed the enemy. I deplore the loss that 
noble Indiana has sustained under the circumstances. It was important to meet 
tlie enemy belbre he reached the center of the State, or crossed it, and Indiana ap- 
i)reciating the importance of it, sent her gallant soldiers to meet the insolent foe, no 
doubt feeling that they would be supported by Ohio, Illinois and Kentucky. 

Lexington is reported in possession of the enemy. 

[Signed,] J. T. Boyle, Brigadier General. 

RESULTS.

remote effects of this engagement were incalculably advantageous

S I E fi E OF CINCINNATI. 
On the 6th of September, wiiile Smith was advancing toward 
Covington, Major General WRionx, commanding the Department, 
appealed to Governor Morton for troops to aid in the defense of 
Cincinnati, which was believed to be in imminent danger. The 
Eighty-Fifth and Eighty-Sixth regiments were sent forward. 
Twenty-four pieces of artillery, 3,000 stand of arms, 31,136 rounds 
of artillery ammunition and 3,365,000 musket cartridges were for- 
warded from the State Arsenal by special train, and were delivered 
at Cincinnati and Covington within fifteen hours from the receipt 
of the requisition. Governor Morton and his military staff, with 
a number of officers, among whom were Major General Lf.w. 
Wallace, Generals Thomas A. Morris, Ebenezer Dumont and 
John Lovh and Major W. W. Frybarger, proceeded to Cincinnati 
to assist in organizing the troops and in other defensive arrange- 
ments. General Wallace was assign to the conimand of the 
defenses, and the experience of tlie othei ''icers rendered their ser- 
vices peculiarly valuable at so critical a period.* 

LOUIS V 1 1, L E T II R I] A T E N E 1) . 
No sooner had the withdrawal of Smith's forces from the vicinity 
of Covington and their concentration at Frankfort relieved the 
authorities at Cincinnati from the apprehension of an immediate 
attack, than the danger which had for some time threatened Louis- 
ville, from Bragg's column, became alarmingly imminent. Bragg, 
who had crossed the Tennessee River soon after Smith had crossed 
the Cumberland mountains, was steadily moving towards the Ohio, 
slowly followed by Buell and his army. The garrison at Bowling 
Green had been withdrawn at the suggestion of Governor Morton, 

<-Mr. Whitei.aw Kkid, in his exci'llent history, " Oliio in the War," gives a very glowing account 
of the sirgo of Cincinnati, — acru ato as far as it goi^s, but entirely silent as to ilie part taken by 
Indiana in that memorable affair. As Mr. RKin's book was written for the especial glorification 
of his State, it may be well enough to excuse his omission of Indiana's share in the "glory" of 
the Cincinnati " siege;" yet the p.ople of Cincinnati, unlike their historian, awarded the highest 
praise to Indiana, and especially to Governor Mobton, lor timely assistance remiered. In com- 
memoration, the City Council ordered the Governor's portrait to be painted by lilitiiANAN Read, 
and it now hangs in the Council Chamber.

and was thereby saved from capture. On the 17th of September 

he telegraphed General Boyle recommending that immediate steps ■ 

be taken to relieve the garrison at Mumfordville, and urging the I 

General commanding to fortify Louisville, suspend business and ; 

put the citizens under drill. He also adopted measures to secure ; 

Ijo-ht draft boats and have them supplied with artillery to serve | 

as gunboats in patroling the Ohio. Works were planned and j 
batteries placed on the heights of New Albany, under the direction 

of Colonel Carringtox and Major Frybargrr, to cover the fords \ 

and the low lands west of Louisville. |

Meantime the enemy had advanced on Munfordsville, which j 

after a afallant defense of three davs under Colonels Wilder and | 

DuNUAivi* was surrendered to Bragg's whole army on the morning j 

of the 17th, and the garrison, consisting of the Sixty-Seventh, Sixty- | 

Eighth and Eighty-Ninth, seven companies of the Sixtieth, two ] 

companies of the Seventy-Fourth and two hundred and lour recruits | 

for the Seventeenth Indiana Regiment, with a few oiher troops, : 

were paroled, and on the 18th m;u-ched to Bowling Green, wdiere ! 

BuELL had been resting for some time within sound of the > 
guns of Munfordsville. 

This battle, like that of Richmond, though resulting in defeat j 
served the imjjortant puToose of retarding the enemy. I'ime was 

gained to perfect the d" jnses at Louisville, which was so well I 

improved that General Bragg, having received a negative reply to ] 

his demand for the surrender of the city, declined to attack and ; 
moved towards Bardstown, while Buell's column entered Louis- 
ville, the advance arriving on the 27th. 

Governor Morton and stafl" had proceeded there on the 22d > 
instant to complete the outfit of newly raised Indiana troops, many 

of whom had been hurried forward without being suitably equipped ■ 
for field service. All the old Indiana troops were also visited 

and such assistance and encouragement rendered as was possible, ; 

General Buell's army was speedily reorganized and reequipped, and j 
on the 1st of October moved from Louisville to drive the rebel army 

from Kentuc;ky, The battle of Perry ville ("Chaplain Hills") was ,: 

fought on the 8th, and Bragg and Smith at once beat a hasty ; 
retreat from the State. 

-The rebels attaelvP.i on the lith and were repnlaeii with very heavy loss. The surrender was re- ' 
fused until Colonel Wildkr had personally inspected th« enemy's position and satisfied himself that

While the events ah-eady noticctl were 1raiis})irini:;- in Iveiitiu ky 
unci Ohio, the work of raising, organizing and Ibrwarding troops 
(as has been shown) was vigorously pressed forward in our owti 
State. The first to furnish a regiment under the call of July, 1862, 
and the first to fill her quota, in a little over one month she had or- 
ganized rriore than thirty thousand three years' troops. Her regi- 
ments had, Vvith little assistance, fought the battles of Richmond and 
Munfordsville — checking tlie enemy in his advance on Cincinnati 
and Louisville, and participating in every movement made for the 
expulsion of the invaders from Kentucky. During this period the 
security of our border was menaced by formidable bands ol 
rebels who v^ere held in check by the untiring vigilance of the 
Indiana Legion and minute-men, by whom the Ohio river was 
patroled for a distance of nearly four hundred miles, and about 
four thousand rebel prisoners securely guarded. Every demand ot 
the General Govenunent, and of neighboring States, was fully and 
promptly responded to, with a zealous energy that was as accepta- 
ble and anima,ting to the loyal cause, as it was unwelcome and dis- 
hearreuina: to the rebels. 



THE HINES RAID. 

INVASION OF T H tl S T A T 1^ , JUNK, 18 ti .\ 

Some lime in May, 1863, a company of Kentucky cavalry, un- 
der Captain Thomas H. Hines, belonging to GeneralJouN H. Mor- 
gan's division, was sent from the rebel army in Tennessee to Ken- 
tucky, to take charge of a camp for recruiting disabled horses, with 
|)ermissioii "to operate against the enemy north of the Cumberland 
river." Improving on the probable scope of tliis authority. Captain 
HiNES, after "operating" a short time in the line of his "con- 
valescent horse" duties, and againt the Union men of Kentucky, 
on the 17th of June, with the assistance of some wood-boats ob- 
tained of his friends, crossed into Indiana, eighteen miles above 
Cannelton, with sixty-two men, his particular object being to pick 
up as many fresh horses as inight conveniently be found. After

the direction of Paoli, Orange connty^ taking the precaution to 
protect his flanljs, as completely as the limited extent of his force 
would allow, by scouts judiciously thiown out. Under the as- 
sumed character that he and his gang belonged to the Union 
army, and were acting under proper orders from General Boyle, 
commanding the District, of Kentucky, in search of deserters, he 
at first found but little diffic-ulty in securing a number of excel- 
!i>nt horses, leaving his own jaded and broken-down animals in 
their stead, and coolly and "in due form" giving vouchers upon 
the Federal Quartermaster at Indianapolis for the difference in 
\alue, which he accominodatingly fixed at a satisfactory and liberal 
rate. But his impudent disguise was soon suspected, and before his 
arrival on the second day of the raid at Valeen, Orange county, the 
whole secret of his mission became known, and the alarm, with 
• iriany exaggerations as to the strength of his force and the damage 
!je had d^^ne, spread with astonishing rapidity throughout the 
counties of Perry, Orange, Crawford, Washington and Harrison 
and the adjacent country. 

It is unofficially reported that at Valeen the rebels demanded 
(tooked rations of the citizens, and, not being supplied to their sat- 
isfaction, they attempted to fire the place, with i)artial success. 

Before they reached Paoli, preparations bad been made to re- 
ceive them, learning wdiich they made a sudden detour to the west, 
and passed round the place, taking horses as they went, to a point 
about seven miles northeast, where they encountered a force of 
fifteen armed citizens, whom they captured and plundered. Two 
more citizens arriving a few moments after, they were ordered to 
surrender, and, upon refu.-ing, one was knocked off his horse and 
disabled, and the other shot and mortally wounded while trying to 
escape. His name was James Lisk. At this point they succeeded 
in prtK'uring a guide, Mr. Bkyant Brkedon, whom they supposed 
to be "reliable," and pressed on in their march, though very late 
at nighf, to Hardinsburg, Washington county, where they arrived 
about day-light. 

PURSUIT AND CAPTURE. 

While these events were transpiring, the men of the Legion and 
8uch of the citizens as could immediately be armed, made rapid

j^rcpa rations Tor pursuit. Sixty 'armed miiiutc-nicn from Paoli, 
joined by a number from Yaleen and tiie neighboring settlements, 
and a mounted battalion of the Legion from Leavenworth, under 
Majors HoKATio Woodbuuy and Robkrt E. Clkndknin, moved 
promptly on the rebel trail. 

Colonel CuARLES Fournier, of Perry county, commanding the 
Fifth Regiment of the Legion, took active measures to defend the 
line of the river in the rebel rear. As soon as he was informed of 
their entrance into the State, he called out as many mounted men 
as possible, and started for Flint Island Bar, to protect the Govern- 
ment ram "Monarch," then lying at that point entirely exposed, 
and the destruction of which was supposed to be the object of the 
raid. He arrived at ten o'clock at night, and finding that IIinks 
had gone northward, and that there was no probable danger of in- 
terference with the ram. Captain Essary, commanding the second 
battalion of the Fifth Regiment of the Legion, was dispatched 
with a sufficient force to intercept the enemy at Blue River Island, 
it having been reported that he W'Ould attempt to re-cross the river 
at that point. Colonel Fournikr, as a precaution, so placed the re- 
mainder of his command as to certainly protect the ram, should a 
detachment of the rebels be sent to destroy her. 

There were thus two forces closing in upon the marauder — the 
one under Majors Woodbury and Clendenin, pushing him back 
to the river, and the other under Captain Essarv, moving in be- 
tween him and the expected outlet. The former followed the rebel 
track through Hardinsburg to near Fredericksburg, in the south- 
western part of Washington county, where, learning that the enemy 
was hastening toward the Ohio, they pressed forward with all pos- 
sible speed. Arriving within a short distance of Leavenworth, the 
force was divided, Major Woodbury taking the upper road leading 
toward Corydon, and Major Clendemn taking the road along the 
river, so as to reach the anticipated rebel crossing in time to head 
them olF, while the other force, closing in above, would lock them 
in, and thus compel a fight or surrender. 

The combined movement was pressed with vigor. Captain Es- 
sary promptly reached his destination, and the other portion of 
our force soon chased the enemy to the expected crossing-place, to 
which he had been compelled to fly nearly a day sooner than he 
had counted upon; consequently, when he reached the Ohio, at 
two o'clock P. M., on the 19th, there were no boats ready for his 



164 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

nse; a sufficient force to badly whip him was posted in his front 
and rear, and it w^as useless to think of getting any relief, under 
such circumstances, from boats — even should an attempt be made 
to send them. In this dilemma, the rebel commander maneuvered 
to avoid a collision with the militia and citizens, and turned to his 
guide to help him to another crossing-place. The guide, being a 
true "Union man, unwillingly impressed into the enemy's service, 
determined to make the most of his position, and the delay which 
he bewilderingly(?) caused in finding what he reported to be a 
practicable ford, enabled the river guard on duty at and near 
Leavenworth, below, to arm the steamer "Izetta," and start her up 
stream to aid the land forces in preventing the rebel exodus. In 
due time, Hines was easily lured by his guide to the Blue River 
Inland, about three miles above Leavenworth, where the channel 
on the Indiana side is shallow and easily fordable in low water, (as 
it was at the time,) with deep and swift water between the island 
and the southern shore. Major Clexdenin's command, including 
Captain Essary's company, soon came up, and the rebels, thinking 
their only safety was in crossing the "ford" wdiich lay before them, 
plunged in with triumphant yells, bearing their booty with them, 
and soon reached the island. Here, while huddled together, view- 
ing the rather unfavorable prospect beyond, Major Clendenix open- 
ed fire, and they ineffectually discharged some shots in return, and 
then, as a last resort, attempted to swim to the Kentucky bank ; but 
the " Isetta,"' at this opportune moment, opened upon them_ with a 
piece of artillery and some small arms, and forced them back — 
Captain Hines and two men only escaping. Three men were killed, 
three wounded, and two drowned, according to one report; ac- 
. cording to another, four men were killed outright, and four more 
wounded and drowned. One Captain, one Lieutenant (an Adju- 
tant), and fifty men surrendered as prisoners of war, and were sent 
to Louisville upon the order of General Bovle. Five horses were 
lost in the attempt to cross the river, but the remainder were cap- 
tured, and those which were stolen from our citizens were returned, 
while the arms and other property were duly turned over to the 
Government authorities. Considerable property was stolen by the 
rebels at Valeen, Hardinsburg, King's Mills, and at farm-houses 
along their route, but the amount in value has not been reported. 

As Major Ceendenin was receiving the prisoners and taking 
an account of the captured property. Major Woodbury, with his

mounted force, appeared. They were much disappointed in not 
arriving in lime to participate in the capture, to whicli their eiier- 
f^etic pursuit had largely contributed. The honor of the affair 
may be fairly divided between Major Clendemx, Major Wood- 
bury and the Legion of Crawford, Perry and Harrison counties^ 
John R. Simpson, formerly Adjutasit of the Fiftieth Indiana Vol- 
unteers, also took part in the capture, organising and commanding 
several squads of minute-men hastily banded together from the 
counties of Washington, Orange, Crawford and Harrison. Mr. 
Bryant Brkeden deserves especial credit for his tact in misguid- 
ing the rebels. Private Findley McNaughton, of the First Indi- 
ana Cavalry, who was "gobbled up" as a prisoner, managed, w^hile 
in the custody of the rebels, to send one of Mr. Breedkn's little boys, 
who was following his father "to see the fun," to Leavenworth, 
with information of the intent of the rebels to recross the Oiiio 
above that point, thus enabling the citi/ens to patrol the channel 
with the steamer and check their retreat, as has been already stated. 
Captain Hines, single-handed and alone, a few days afterwards, 
joined Morgan at Brandenburg, and took part in the celebrated 
raid through Indiana and Ohio in July, 1863. He was a dashing 
and daring officer; Vv^as captured with his chief and with him made 
his esca|)e from the Ohio penitentiary, and clung to his bold 
riders with a zeal worthy of a better cause until the final collapse 
of the rebellion. 



THE RAID OF MORGAN. 

INVASION OF THE STATE-JULY. 1 .s (J ;j . 
The invasion of Indiana in the summer of 1863 by a division of 
rebel troops, under command of General John H. Morgan, when 
considered in the light of events then pending, must always be re- 
garded as a prominent feature in our history. No hostile military 
movement of any consequence, except that resulting in the battle 
of Tippecanoe, had ever before been made in our territory. The 
invasion, or " raid," as it was called, was intended, as will be here- 
after shown, to distract and disarrange the plans and m.ovements of 
the federal forces then threatening the rebel army of the West with 
annihilation, but in its results proved to be only a wild and reckless 
adventure, failing almost entirely of its object, and ending in sad 
discomfiture to the rebel cause. Its projectors sought to make it 



166 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

the means of escape from a trap in which the superior generalship 
and overwhelming strength of Roskcrans and his co-operators had 
involved them ; it was a desperate make-shift, a kind of " forlorn 
hope" maneuver, to extricate the army of Bhagg from apparent 
destruction. While the "raid" was a failure and mistake, it oc- 
casioned our people much inconvenience, and created an intense 
excitement; and the plunderings, burnings and damages, which 
fell upon our citizens living within its track, were by no means in- 
considerable. It is proper, therefore, as a matter of local history, 
connected with the rebellion, that an account of it should be given 
in this report. 

ITS ORIGIN AND OBJECT- 

The circumstances which gave rise to tiie raid may be briefly 
stated: First — the necessities, in a military sense, of the rebel 
army in the West ; and, second — the condition of feeling on the 
part, of a considerable portion of the people of this and adjoining 
States, which seemed to promise encouragement to so desperate an 
enterprize. 

As to iJie necessities of the rebels, we have a full, and perhaps 
fair, account in General Bazil Dukk's " History of Morgan's 
Cavalry." Dukk was Morgan's, factotum — first serving as his 
Lieutenant; and afterwards, when the great marauder was made a 
Brigadier, he was |)romoted to succeed him as Colonel of the origi- 
nal regiment of " Morgan's Cavalry." He was his confidential ad- 
viser and friend, and was with him in all his campaigns, except one. 
Dukk had, therefore, every ojiportunity of informing himself of 
Morgan's plans and movements, and his admitted ability and 
sprightliness guarantee his statements as worthy of consideration 
in the preparation of this narrative. General "Duke substantially 
says, that just before the raid was undertaken, the position of the 
rebel army in Tennessee, under Bragg andBucicNER, was perilous; 
that RosEc raxs was strong enough to press Bragg hard at Tuila- 
homa — Buckner, in East Tennessee, being too weak to help him. 
or even to protect hiniself against the imminent attack of Burnside 
— while, in addition, there was a large National force scattered 
along a convenient line to the east, under General Judah, which 
could keep open communications for Rosecraas, and resist rebel 
raids in that quarter so long as the hostile armies remained in their 
positions, or could be concentrated, when an advance was ordered, 



morgan's tour i)e forck. 167 

and thus make the force on Bragg still more ibrmidnble. 'J'lu- 
problem, as viewed by the rebels — who well umlerstoocl the import- 
ant fact that General JuDAii, in Burnsidh's department, as Dukk 
states, was in command of "about 5000 excellent cavalry" — wa^:* 
to avert the immediate danger of a blow npon Bragg's flank from 
this cavalry force. General Morgan advised a raid through Indi- 
ana and Ohio, with the double object of preventing Buknsidh Ironi 
moving on Buckner, in East Tennessee, and preventing Jldah'h 
cavalry from making a junction with Rosecrans. His experience 
in raiding through Kentucky enabled him to argue, wnth plausibili- 
ty, that a new raid upon that State, alone, would be disastrous and 
crushed out so quickly that its effects would not justify the risks 
and dangers of the venture; while, he cowtendei], a grand forciTj 
through Indiana and Ohio would keep a large force of Union 
troops employed upon its track for weeks.* Bragg, as he was apt 
to do, took a " conservative view " of the situation, and would only 
allow Morgan to make a raid through Kentucky, expressly stipula- 
ting in his order that it should not extend beyond the Ohio River. 
The Morgan iJait/ was* therefore, made in disobedience of orders; 
so Duke positively states. This fact is only important as showing 
Morgan's disposition to have his own way, and, as he generally 
did, to conduct his campaigns in a peculiarly independent manner, 
which, by tiie way, was the great secret of his fame, and the mag- 
net whicli attracted to his standard so many bright and adventur- 
ous young Kentuckians, of whom his command was principally 
composed. General Bragg knew the peril of Morgan's proposed 
movement, and evidently feared the effect the isolation, and per- 
haj)s loss, of so important and valuable a force of cavalry would 
have upon his army ; but he probably did not appreciate the ad- 
vantages of its brilliant success, shon.ld it be successl'ul, to tiie 
tsame extent that Morgan hoped. 

The ^' vim " and "dash" of Morgan impelled him to over-ride 
the orders of his superior, and like a reckless and desperate bravado 
us he was, he determined to meet and if possible overcome the 
dangers which encompassed the rebel army in tlie West by a 
tour de force that would carry consternation and dismay to the 
hitherto peaceful regions north of the Ohio. 

It is unnecessary here to enter upon details as to the condition of 
feeling entertained by many persons in the North on the subject of 

'-TJio Kaid Jastetl five days in Indiana, and twelve aud a half days in Ohio. 



168 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

the war; the sympathy exhited in behalf of the rebel canse, not 
only in legitimate opposition to the policy and measures of the 
Federal Government, but in the commission of illegal acts; the 
organization of treasonable societies and movements, and the de- 
claration of treasonable sentiments by speeches, newspa|)er articles, 
and resolutions ; and the elTect all these sympathetic evidences may 
have had in determining Morgan's extraordinary, bold, and unau- 
thorized course; but the candid historian, in after days, may find 
in the facts themselves ample material for investigation as to the 
inducements which detached, at such a perilous crisis, so important 
a command from Bragg's army. 

Biiagg's situation undoubtedly reciuired a raid, or some similar 
distracting movement, but if the diversity of sentiment and treas- 
onable evidences, to which allusion has been made, bad not reached 
Morgan's ears, does it seem probable that the "territory North of 
the Ohio" would have been deemed good ground upon which to 
make such a hazardous experiment? His ordei-s were not to come 
here. Would he have disobeyed his orders and jeopardized the 
safety of his army, in which he and the whole "Confederacy" felt 
so much pride, if he had not thought that these friendly indications 
were founded upon a reality that would '-crop out" in substantial 
form upon his appearance in a country where rebel plundering and 
the marauders torch had not before been known? He was ordered 
to make a raid through Kentucky, and the temptation to go be- 
yond, for the purpose of recruiting his "mount/' and procuring 
supplies, which his command so much needed, was very great; but 
is it likely that even these inducements would have caused him to 
extend his march beyond the prescribed bounds, if treasonable 
indications of sympathy and assistance had not been shown by 
means of the press and by other channels through which they 
sought expression and became known to the rebels in the South?*

Morgan's disvision of rebel cavalry, — consisting, according to 
General Dukk, of two brigades, the first numbering 1,460 men, the 
second 1,000 men, in all 2,460, with four pieces of artillery,— started 
from Alexandria, Tennessee, on the 11th of June, 1863, on the haz- 
ardous expedition which was to end in the death or capture of 
nearly every man connected with it. Its march through the northern 
edge of Tennessee and through Kentucky, it does not comport with

the pnrj70se of this ac-couiit 1o rchito tit any length. It had several 
pretty hard skirmishes on the way, particularly at the crossing of 
Green River on the 4th of July, in which it was badly beaten ; and 
on the 5th at Lebanon, where it was successful, but will) consider- 
able loss, including General Morgan's youngest brother, Thomas, 
First Lieutenant, Second Kentncl<y, who was killed at the last 
moment of the engagement. Tiie 4th of July, 1863, was remarka- 
bly unfortunate for rebels everywhere. Morgan found it no more 
auspicious than did Pemberton, or Lee, or any other of the dozen 
commanders who fought on that day, not only against the arms 
and gallantry of the national troops, but against every sentiment 
and memory that stirs the blood of the true American! 

On the 6th, at dark, about thirty miles from Louisville, a train 
on the Louisville and Nashville railroad was captured, and by 
'•tapping'" the telegraph wire it was ascertained by Morgan that 
he was expected at Louisville. " Tapping the telegraph " was a 
frequent and sometimes very important operation for Morgan, as 
he thereby learned the position of our forces and either avoided 
them, -or prepared to attack them, as he deemed best. 

On the morning of the 7th, after crossing Salt River, Captains 
Taylor and IMerriwether, of the Tenth Kentucky, were sent 
forward with a detachment to the Ohio River to capture steamers 
to carry the division over to this State. At the same time, Captain 
Davis, with two companies, was dispatched to cross the Ohio at 
Twelve-Mile Island, to give employment to the militia of lower 
Indiana, and leave the main body free from attack Iron) that quar- 
ter, with orders to rejoin the division at Salem. The result of this 
last enterprize is thus stated by General Duke: "Captain Davis 
crossed into Indiana with the two companies assigued hini, but 
failed to rejoin the division, and was surrounded by overwhelming 
numbers, and himself and the greater part of his command cap- 
tured.''* This detachment was thus jiermanently lost to the expe- 
dition, as well as three other comjianies left at various points in 
Kentucky, leaving the cfTective force for the invasion, according to 
Duke, about 2,200 mcn.f 

After sending out these detachments, the division proceeded to

of the 8rh. At Bandenburg it was joined by Captain Hines, who

that he left pretty nearly all his command behind him in the hands 

of our militia.* 

CROSSING THE OHIO. 

Brandenburg is a small town situated on a high bluff about fifty 
miles below Louisville, on the Kentucky shore, and two miles above 
Maukport, a small Indiana town. The two officers charged with 
the duty of providing ferriage for the division, arrived shortly after 
leaving the main column, and directly captured the steamer "J. T. 
McCoombs," in the Louisville and Henderson trade. She ran up 
to the wharf about 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the 7th, and the mo- 
ment she touched, a rebel squad boarded her and took possession. 
As if forture were resolved to favor them to the utmost, a second 
steamer, the " Alice Dean," came in sight 'round the bend below, 
a short time after, and they prepared to capture her also. As her 
course made it apparent that she did not intend to land, they ran the 
'■'■ McCoombs " out to her, signaling her to stop. When the two boats 
touched, a party boarded the "Dean" and secured her, and thus 
ample means of ferriage were obtained in a very few hours, and 
all were ready for the arrival of the main column. 

Information of these proceedings having readied Lieutenant 
Colonel William J. Irvin, at Maukport, he dispatched messen- 
gers to Colonel Lhwis Jordan, at Corydon, requesting troops to 
assist in preventing the rebels from crossing. The steamer " Lady 
Pike" coming up the river, about the same time, was stopped and 
sent back to Leavenworth for a piece of artillery and its gunners, 
of the Indiana Legion, then stationed at that point. The boat 
returned at midnight with a six pounder and thirty men under com- 
mand of Captain G. W. Lyon, of the Crawford county Artillery. 
To avoid the observation of the rebels at Brandenburg, the boat 
landed two miles below Maukport, and the gun Vv^as hauled by hand 
to that place, where Colonel Joun TniBERLAKE, with one hundred 
of the Harrison county Legion, took command and proceeded with 
the united forces to a point opposite Brandenburg. He crossed 
Buck creek by means of an old boat, and his men dragged the gun

through the fields and placed it in jxtsition at 7 o'ctlock on the morn- 
ing of the Sth in front of an old house opposite the landing. 

For an hour or two the Kentucicy bank was concealed by a dense 
fog. Morgan arrived before it lifted, and at once began his pre- 
parations for crossing. As soon as the fog allowed the opposite 
bank to be seen, Captain Lyon trained his gun on the "MoCoombs" 
and sent a shot through her, frightening off the rebels, who had 
just commenced embarking, and wounding one of their brigade 
quartermasters. Several shots were fired after those who were in 
retreat from the boats, and some were seen to fall as they hurried 
up the road out of range. Then, being informed that the rebel 
force was very small, less than 200 men, and hoping to save the 
steamers, Captain Lyon changed the direction of his fire to the 
groups of cavalry on the bank, driving them out of sight to the 
rear of the town. Supposing that the rebels had been, by this de- 
monstration, induced to abandon their project of invasion, Colonel 
TiiNiBERLAKE ordered the "McCoombs" to cross to the Indiana side 
and take his command over to Brandenburg, but the order was of 
course unheeded. In a few minutes some pieces of artillery was 
put into jDosition by the rebels on Brandenburg hights and opened 
an accurate and fatal fire on Lyon's gun. Lieutenant Ja]\ies H. 
Current, of the Maukport Rifles, and citizen George Nance, of 
Harrison county, being killed while working it. Our artillery-men 
having no covering but the old house, which the rebel guns made 
untenable, fell back about half a mile out of range, hauling their 
gun with them. At the same time a portion of the rebel force 
opened a fusillade upon the remainder of our men who v.'cre post- 
ed along the bank to resist the passage of the boats, and the fire 
was sharply returned. Soon, however, the rebel artillery was brought 
into play, which compelled the little Union force to fall back. The 
Second Kentucky and Ninth Tennessee Regiments of the rebels 
were immediately sent across the river, leaving their horses behind 
them, Colonel Timberlakk, with a small force, rallied to the gun 
and fired several unavailing shots at the boat while it was crossing. 

As soon as a landing was effected, the rebels formed under the 
bank and advanced, capturing the gun and several prisoners. 
Colonel TiMBERLAKE Seeing he was greatly overmatched, fell back 
in good order toward Corydon. Major Jacob S. Pfrimmer, of the 
Sixth Regiment of the Legion, in command of a small body of 
mounted men, kept up a brisk skirmish with the rebel advance

guard, on tlie different roads leading to Corydon, till late in the 
evening, when our retreating force reached the line of battle formed 
by two huiidr(>ti men, under Colonel Jordan, six miles from Cory- 
don, on the Maukport road. A small squad of the " Mounted 
Hoosiers," belonging to the Sixth Legion, under Captain William 
FoRQUOR, acting as scouts, came into collisioii with the enemy 
while they were advancing, but sustained no injury, except the 
Captsin, whose horse under the fire dashed him against a tree, 
but without disabling him. The scouts skirmished and were on 
the alert during the night, the rebels having halted near our line, 
and both parties throwing out pickets. 

While this retreat and pursuit were in progress, an interesting 
state of aflairs for Morgan had been created by a little gunboat. 
General Dukk relates that directly after the return of the two 
steamers from their first trip to the Indiana side, a small boat, 
"tightly boarded up with tiers of heavy oak |)lanking," ran ra|ndly 
down the river and opened fire, first on Brandenburg, and then on 
the rebel force pressing after the Legion. Two of Morgan's guns 
in battery on the Hights replied, and for an hour a duel was main- 
tained between the boat and the battery, with no particular injury 
to either, but to the fearful discomfiture of the rebel General and 
the peril of his enterprise. He could not put a steamer across 
while the gunboat kept in easy range ; a single shot might send 
tiie whole to the bottom; consequently he could neither join the 
two regiments already landed, nor get them back, and he could not 
tell what force or fate they might meet when fairly out upon Indi- 
ana soil. He was cut in two, and the gunboat kept the fragments 
apart. She held his expedition completely at the command of her 
guns ; but, unaccountably, after an hour's firing, she ran back up 
the river, and Morgan at once began sending his force across in 
the utmost haste. 

About five o'clock P. M., the same gun-boat came back wilh two 
transports, (ordinary steamers.) with a battalion of the Seventy- 
First Indiana, under Colonel Biddle, and a section of the Twenty- 
Third Indiana Battery, under Lieutenant Ross,. The gun-boat 
was in advance, under an officer of the Western Flotilla, who com- 
manded the expedition. Morgan stopped crossing, and held his 
boats around a bend of the river out of range, his battery on the 
Hights firing with rapidity, but without damage, at the litUe fleet. 
The ofTicer in command of the gun-boat claimed that his craft was

only bullrl-|)r()of, and that Morgan's gunf=^ would ^ink him, and 
therefore withdrew and proceeded up the river. The two trans- 
ports remained for some time, and kept up the artillery engage- 
ment with the l)ait(ry on shore until one of Lieutenant Ross' guns 
beeaiiu; disabled by the l)reaking of the boat's deck from ti)e re- 
coil, when it !)eing plainly seen that the rebels had decidedly the 
advantage, the transjoorts also withdrew. 

The remaiiKh'r of Morgan's division at once crossed, and ad- 
vanced and encamped a few miles from the river. They plundered 
freely. Their historian says they "found the larders unlocked, fires 
on the hearths, bread half made up, and the chickens parading 
about the doors with a confidence that was touching, but misplac- 
ed." In other words, the rebels helped themselves to whatever they 
wanted and could find in the houses of the poor people they had 
scared into the woods. They burned the mill of Mr. Pj.ter Lopp. 
on Buck creek, three miles from the river, their first exploit in that 
line in the Stale, 

Four miles south of Corydon one of their soldiers was siiot near 
the house of Rev. PjyrER Gij-.nn, whom they induced by a flag of 
irnee to come out unarmed to meet them, when they killed him 
and burned his house and out-buildings.

The first information of Morgan's movements wliich indicated 
the probability of his approach to our border, was conveyed to 
Brigadier General O. B. Willcox, commanding the Di>trict of In- 
diana and IVIichigan, by Major (xeneral BuRNsmE, who had re- 
ceived it from Brigadier General J. T. Boyle, commanding the 
Di-trict of Kentucky, on the 4th of July, the same day that Mor- 
gan v/as defeated at Green River bridge. General Boylk stated 
that a cavalry force, supposed to be about 4,000 sirong, with artil- 
lery, commanded by John II. Morgan, had crossed the Cumber- 
land river, and was advancing upon the Louisville and Nashville 
Railroad. He also stated that he had no available United States 
troops in Kentucky, and earnestly requested the assistance of an 
adequate force to check the invasion. General Buknside ordered 
the Seventy-First Indiana, and any available cavalry and artillery 
in the State, to be sent at once to Kentucky. General Willcox 
promptly dispatched the Seventy-First Indiana Regiment, two 
companies of the Third Indiana Cavalry, and Mvehs' Twenty- 
Third Indiana Battery to Louisville, where they reported to Genera''

apolis, of United Slates troops, only two companies of the Sixty-

hundreds of recently exchanged prisoners of the Fifty-First and 
Seventy-Third Indiana, and a small number of recruits. 

This stripjjing the State of National troops, though necessitated 
by the aspect of affairs in Kentucky at the time, was unfortunate, 
and the more so because our home defenses were in a far less effi- 
cient condition than Ihey should have been. Governor Morton, 
to whom an invasion of our Southern border was an ever present 
peril, had used every means in his power to provide adequate 
defenses, but with far less than satisfactory success. The Legion, 
though generally organized with more or less completeness through- 
out the border counties, was too often a mere skeleton, or loose 
aggregation of citizens, with little military discipline or knowledge. 
And where better organized and more sedulously drilled, it was too 
feeble in numbers to present an effectual resistance to veteran ene- 
mies. A sufficiency of arms had not been supplied, and as late as 
the 29th of June, the Governor had telegraphed to the Secretary 
of War for 25,000 stand of arms and 12 pieces of artillery for 
State use. But the most serious deficiency was in mounted troops, 
of which we had not more than two hundred, besides a few squads 
of armed citizens using their own horses, who were called out by 
the emergency; Against veteran cavalry, recruiting, as horses be- 
came exhausted, by stealing in all directions, raw levies of infantry 
could not, even with the greatest facilities for transportation, be 
made very effective. General Wu.lcox, General Wallace and 
General Downey, all speak particulary of this deficiency and its 
unfortunate consequences.* With one-tenth of the forces we had 
in arms during the raid, well mounted, Morgan never could liave 
escaped from the State. 

On the reception of information that Moijgan was marching 
northward through Kentucky, Governor Morton telegraphed 
Colonel E. A. Maginniss, at New Albany, to order out all the 
forces at his connnand, and send a messenger to Colonel Jordan, 
of Harrison county, with instructions that he should also order out 
his command immediately; also to put Knapp's battery, the German 
artillery of Floyd county, on a steamer and send it to the mouth of 
Salt River to prevent guerrillas from crossing the Ohio. He also 
notified Gene ral Boyle of his purpose to cooperate heartily in any

jnovoment to resist Morgan, and asked information as to the rcbrJ 
force and its whereabouts. General Boyle's reply tbe next day 
was that he did not know where .Morgan was. but that he h;i(! 
captvired the Twentieth Kentucky at Lebanon. Before night 
General Boylk's want of information was rather alarmingly sup- 
plied, as he telegraj^hed to Governor Morton that the companies of 
onr Legion in Clarke county, if there were any, should be sent to 
him at Louisville, as Morgan was tlien between Lebanon and 
Louisville. Tlie next day, the 6th of July, he again telegraphed 
the Governor that he had learned nothing farther of Morgan's 
movements, except that the telegraph operator at the Junction re- 
ported cannonading as having been heard in the direction of Bards- 
town. But the General did not believe that Morgan would corner 
to Louisville, and he did believe that the forces of Generals Hobson 
and Shacklefomd, then in pursuit, would overtake and beat him, 
Cxovernor INIortox, as little influenced by General Boylk's sudden 
confidence as by his prematm-e alarm, ordered the Legion to retain 
their organization and arms, and be in reaidiness for prompt service. 
Part of the force called out, at the request of General Willcox, wa^ 
ordered to Louisville, and Colonel Dkland's First Michigan Sharp- 
shooters and the Twelfth Michigan B;i.tlcry were ordered from 
Michigan to this State. 

On the morning of the 8th of July unofficial information was re- 
ceived that the apprehensions which had imi:)cl!ed these precaution- 
ary steps were realized, and that Morgan was on the bank of the 
Ohio preparing to cross, Burnsidk, at Cincinnati, w'as immcdi- 
at(>ly informed of the movement, and a request to the Chief of 
Ordinance at Washington for a number of batteries of smooth- 
bored six-pounder and Iw^elve-pounder howitzers was promptly 
answered tliat the guns were on the way from St. Louis. To 
General Boyle, whose solicitations had deprived us of all our 
available Government troops, an earnest request was sent that he 
should dispatch a force to the threatened points to prevent the 
rebels from crossing, or to drive them out if they had crossed. " You 
have all our regular troops," said Governor Morton; ''please state 
what steps have been taken to arrest the progress of the rebels." 
General Boyle made no reply. In the evening of the same day 
news was received that the rebels had crossed. 'i"he next day, the 
9th, a second dispatch was sent to General Boyle asking informa- 
tion of Morgan's movements. No reply was made. To a third 



176 AD.JUTANT general's REPORT. 

dispatch, he answered from New Albany that " Morgan is near 
Corydon, and will move either npon New Albany or into the inte- 
rior of the Stute. He has no less than 4,000 men and si\ 
pieces of artillery. General Ho53son in pui-suit of him is at Bran- 
denburg, and has sent for transports to cross his forces, Yotir cities 
and towns will be sacked and pillaged if you do not bring out your 
State forces," This was the first official information Governor 
Morton had received in regard to the invasion. The sagacity that 
warned us to bring out our State forces if we would save our 
towns from pillage, could only be paralleled by the generosity that 
accompanied the warning v/ith no offer to assist us even with our 
ov.:n troop.-^ I 

Before the receipt of Geueitil Boyle's belated nevv^s, General 
Wii,Lcox, coi'jperating v/ith Governor Morton, had made such pre- 
parations as he could to meet tlic rebels. He ordered nil the rail- 
road cars and locomotives to be secured for the transportation of 
the militici, their arms and supplies; the GovernnK.'nt Quartermas- 
ter. Commissary and Ordnance Officers were directed to furnish 
everything that might be required for properly equipping and sup- 
plying the troops, and the Superintendent of the State Arsenal at 
once put a large force at work in preparing ammunition, of which 
there was not a sufficient supply. 

The receipt of t!ie first official information of the invasion was 
immediately made the occasion for the publication of a General 
Order,* dated at the Executive Dej^artment, July 9th, announcing 
the presence of a considerable rebel force in the State, and order- 
ing that all able-bodied white male citizens in the several counties 
south of the National Road should forthwith form themselves into 
comppaiics of at least sixty persons, elect officers, and arm them- 
selves with such arms as they could procure. The companies thus 
formed were required to perfect themselves in military drill as rap- 
idly as possible, and hold themselves subject to further orders from 
the Executive. They were requested to be mounted, in all cases, 
if possible. Citizens in other parts of the State were earnestly re- 
quested to form military companies, and be ready for service when 
called for. Prompt reports by telegraph of the formation of com- 
panies were desired. Officers of the Indiana Legion were charged 
witli the execution of the order, and the United States officers 
were r(>quested to render such assistance as they were able.

THE 1 r.OPLE CALLED OUT. 177 

At the same time a dispatch was sent to Captain Pknnock, com- 
manding the river fleet at Cairo, informing him of the invasion, 
and requesting the assistance of all his available gun-boats to pre- 
vent the rebels from re-crossing the Ohio. The Captain replied 
that tliere were six gun-boats up the river, and he would at 
once send more. A request was telegraphed to General Burxsidf, 
to send back the troops and artillery sent to Kentucky a few days 
before ; and it was suggested to him by the Governor that Morgan 
would probably attempt to get back into Kentucky at some point 
between Madison and Louisville. He therefore urged the proprie- 
ty of placing a lot of spare artillery, collected at Louisville, upon 
boats and patroling the river between Louisville and Lawrence- 
hurg. General Burnsidh promptly replied that he had directed 
passenger boats not to run between Cincinnati and Louisville with- 
out guards, and had requested that a pro[)er disposition be made of 
the gun-boats, both above and below Louisville, to prevent the 
enemy from re-crossing. lie ordered General Boyle to patrol the 
river, as suggested by the Gov(M-nor, and assured the latter of suf- 
ficient National troops to repel any attack, and of his desire to do 
whatever he could to protect the State in the emergency. In order to 
apply the Governor's suggestion of arming ordinary steamers as river 
patrols, General Willcox at once sent Lieutenant-Commander Gioo. 
Brown, of the Navy, then in Indianapolis on leave, to the Ohio to 
organize and command a number of these extemporary gun-boats, 
which he proceeded to do in a thorough and satisfactory manner 
The idea proved to be a good one, and Morgan's escape across the 
river at one of the many fords between Louisville and Cincinnati 
was probably prevented, and his final captiu*e assured, by this means. 

Having no arms suitable for cavalry, the Governor purchased of 
Messrs. B. KiTTREDGE & Co., Cincinnati, eight hundred Wesson 
carbines; and arrangements were made whereby 17,000 muskets, 
25,000 sets of accoutrements and 2 batteries of artillery were pro- 
cured irom the St. Louis Arsenal in time to be issued to the 
rapidly organized militia. 

To give the injunctions of the general order issued on the 9th 
more direct and immediate effect, the Governor, on the day follow- 
ing, addressed a dispatch to prominent and leading citizens in all 
easily accessible counties in the central and northern portions of 
the State, requesting that all available men of their neighborhoods 

be brought to the capital at the earliest moment, organized by com- 
Yol. 1.— 13.

panies, with their blankets; and that runners be sent oat in their 
couniies to give information and call out all who were willing to 

volunteer. 

RESPONSE OF T H K V E P L E . 

While the authorities were busy with these preparations, the 
people were gathering in such nuinb(^rs as never could have been 
anticipated, not only along the track of the rebel march, but all 
over the State. The call of the Governor, the conflicting and ex- 
aggerated rumors that were afloat, and the anxious disposition felt 
in every locality to assist in catching and chastising the invaders, 
created the greatest excitement and enthusiasm. In less than 
twenty-four hours after the dispatch was sent out soliciting indi- 
vidual cooj)erafion in bringing out troops, the gentlemen addressed 
reported an aggregate of 5,000 men for service, and outside of their 
eflbrts 10,000 more had been gathered and were on the way to the 
capilal. On the same day, the 10th, the Governor informed General 
BuKNsiDF, that he wt)uld have 15,000 niilitia in Indianapolis on 
that day. Within two days 20,000 men had been actually mus- 
tered at Indianapolis, and the authorities had notice of the organi- 
zation and readiness for service of 45,000 more. 

The gathering of 65,000 men in forty-eight hours is such a dis- 
play of pairiotic energy and devotion as may safely challange a 
comparison witli any similar exhibition in history. And the cir- 
cumstances under Vkdiich it was made enhance its magnitude and 
merit greatly. Farmers were in the midst of harvest; they were 
weak-handed from the absence of scores of thousands of sons and 
brothers in the army, and the impossibility of replacing them with 
other laborers; at the best, the ripening crops could be but indlfFer- 
ently secured, and to desert them to resist the rebels, for they 
kncNV not how long, was equivalent, so far as they could tell, to 
losing them utterly. Manufactories, mills, mechanics' shops, were 
equally in want of laborers, and would suffer greatly if work were 
suspended for even a day. Yet farmers left their grain to rot in 
the fields, mechanics dropped their tools, merchants abandoned 
their stores, professional men their desks, clerks forgot their ledgers, 
and students their text-books, and young and old alike all swarmed 
in constantly thickening throngs to the capital, or the nearest place 
of rendezvous, as if there were no duty or interest of that hour but 
the safety of the State. Indianapolis, which was the great central 
mustering place, was converted into a huge barrack. There were 
soldiers in every open lot and square, in every vacant building, in

halls, ill lofts, in the strcet^. Railway trains were rushing in every 
hour, crowded inside and outside with shouting masses. The 
country roads were cloudy with dust raised by the tread of coni- 
jmnies hurrying from every school district and jieighborhood. 

The labor of organizing and equipping so great a force in so 
short a time was immense, but the authorities were as zealous as 
the people, and the work was done. General Willcox,* and his 
staff officers were vigilant, energetic, sleepless. Major General 
Lewis Wallace, at the request of the Governor, was detailed by 
the War Department to assist in the defense of the State. Brig- 
adier General Henry B. Cakiungton came from Ohio and gave 
his best efforts to the organization and mustering of the forces, a 
work in which his experience and energy made him unrivalled. 
Brigadier General Milo S. Hascall, on his way to the field, was 
sent back by General Burnside and ordered to report to the Dis- 
trict Commander for any duty he might deem proper, and was as- 
signed to the command of the defenses of Indianapolis.f Captain 
John H. Farquhar, of the regulars, was appointed a Brigadier 
General of the State Militia, and ordered to Evansville to organize 
!i brigade for the protection of the border on the lower Ohio 
against any counter or co-operative movement that might be made 
by the rebels in aid of Morgan. Major General John L. Mans- 
field, of the Legion, w^as sent to New Albany to bring out the 
militia on the way, and organize the temporary forces. Colonel 
W. W. Frybarger, of the artillery, was dispatched to the border 
TO organize a force in that branch of the service; and the services 
of other officers, as will be more particularly stated hereafter, were 
brought into requisition and disposed to the best advantage. 

Offers of assistance from other States were made and accepted 
A company of sharp-shooters from Mattoon, Illinois, under Captain 
David H. Lane, splendidly armed with Henry rifles, was assigned to 
the One-Hundred-and-Third Regiment of Minute-Men. Two other 
Illinois companies. Captain Ashmore's, of Charleston, and Captain 
Ferris's, of Ashmore, were assigned to the One-Hundred-and- 
Ninth Regiment of Minute-Men. General Schofield, command- 
ing at St. Louis, Missouri, sent the Tenth Regiment Kansas Vol 
unteers and the Twelfth Kansas Battery, which were stationed at 
Mitchell to intercept rebel reen force ments.

180 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

1) ISPOSITION OF PORCES, 

In the position of Morgan after crossing into this State any one 
of four movements could be attempted, either involving injuries to 
the loyal people and cause of enormous extent. He could move on 
New Albany and Jeffersonville where there was deposited about 
$4,000,000 worth of public stores ; he could by a judicious distri- 
bution of his command burn the bridges and disable the tracks of 
the Ohio and Mississippi and the Jeffersonville railroads by which 
the Government was sending troops and supplies to Rosecrans ; 
he could advance to Indianapolis, as he once avowed it his purpose 
to do, release the rebel prisoners, and burn the Capitol, the Arsenal 
and the immense military stores ; or, he could push along on a 
plundering foray, parallel with the Ohio river, if the uprising of the 
people left no other movement open to him, till he had a chance to 
re-cross to Kentucky. 

Jeffersonville and New Albany were attached to the District of 
Kentucky and proj)crly belonged to General Boyle's comtnand, 
but Major General James Hughes, of the Legion, organized and 
disposed of such forces of the Legion and Minute- Men as could be 
raised, for the protection of both places, and the rebels left them 
unharmed. 

As our troops were mostly raw, undisciplined infantry, it was 
impossible to employ them with any good result, in such strength 
as they presented during the first days of the raid, against veteran 
cavalry. General Willcox concurred with the State authorities in 
the plan of obstructing Morgan's march, — scouring the country 
felling trees in the roads, tearing up bridges, and creating obstacles 
wherever it was possible, to delay him till adequate forces could be 
collected and properly disposed. Our militia, besides that at Indi- 
anapolis, was concentrated chiefly at two points on the Ohio and 
Mississippi railroad — the Western Division at Mitchell, the Eastern 
at Seymour, and cars were collected at these points to carry them 
wherever they might be needed. Major General Hughes, after 
ascertaining that Morgan would not move against New Albany, 
went up to Mitchell, where he organized about 2,000 men and held 
them in readiness to resist an attack upon that point, or move else- 
where as circumstances might require. General John Love, acting 
Brigadier General under appointment and orders from General 
Willcox, took command at Seymour. He reports that there were 
two regiments of United States volunteers there, and, in addition 



THE F[GIIT AT COKYDON. 181 

to these, he organized about 300 Minute-Men and a small force of 
citizens, who, using tlieir own horses, acted as scouts and patrols, 
and rendered valuable service in that capacity- Colonel Samuel 

B. Sering, of the Legion, had at Madison a force of about 2,000 
men, with four pieces of artillery. This force was disposed, with 
tlip assistance of Colonel Bkrnard F. Mullen, Thirty-Fifth Indiana 
Volunteers, so as to guard the river, which was easily fordable at 
several places in the vicinity of Madison and Hanover, and the 
roads leading to those places. Trees were felled by the citizens 
under the direction of the Hon. David C. Branham, and the posi- 
tions of the troops thus greatly strengthened. General Alexander 

C. Downey, of Ohio county, ordered two regiments of the Legion, 
that of Colonel H. T. Williams, of Ohio county, and that of 
Colonel J. H. Bukkam, of Dearborn county, to Seymour; and 
Colonel Harris Keeney, of Switzerland county, with his com- 
mand, was ordered to Madison. 

Colonel Sering had orders, if Morgan attempted to cross the 
Ohio at or near Madison, to destroy all the boats if necessary, and 
defeat the attempt if possible, and similar orders were sent to 
other commanders at various points on the river. Such disposition 
of our forces at Indianapolis had been made as to render it impos- 
sible for Morgan to advance upon that place, as he doubtless would 
been glad to have done, without incurring certain destruction. His 
flanks were menaced; reinforcements were cut off; the line of re- 
treat across the Ohio was defended by our best militia and watched 
by vigilant gun-boats and patrol steamers; while before him lay 
the enormous mass of troops concentrated at the Capital; and be- 
hind, close upon his heels, followed General Hobson with 4,000 
mounted men. A single day sufficed to show him how rapidly 
and fatally the strength of the State was pressing down upon him, 
and, abandoning all other schemes, he took to flight. It was his 
only resource. His raid was converted into a stupendous stam- 
pede, and his departure from the State was marked by but little of 
the deliberation and confidence which he exhibited when he en- 
tered it. 

ADVANCE ON C R Y D N , AND THE FIGHT. 

In our account of Morgan's movements, on the 8tli of July, we 
left him near Corydon, in front of our little force of militia and 
minute-men, under Colonel Lewis Jordan, of the Sixth Legion, 
consisting, when concentrated, of about 400 men. Colonel Jordan 



182 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

was assisted by Colonel John Timbei:lake, Major Lf-onidas 
Stout, Captain Gkorge L. Kky, and Captain Jamks D. Irwin, 
as volunteer aids. On the morning of Wednesday, the 8th, as 
soon as Colontl Jordan was informed of the itivasion, he dis- 
patched a messenger with the information to Surgeon Thomas W. 
Fry, who was in command under General Boyle, of the post of 
New Albany, and requested reinforcements. Major Fry received 
the request at 12 o'clock the same day, and promptly communi- 
cated it to his superior commander at Louisville, some sixteen 
hours before the whole rebel force had got up in front of Colonel 
Jordan's lines. Three or four messages to the same eflfect were 
sent subsequently. Reinforcements of l)oth men and artillery were 
promised, and there was ample time to have forwarded them be- 
fore the attack on Thursday afternoon, the 9th, but for some unex- 
plained reason none were sent, and our handful of raw men were 
left to make the best fight they could. 

On the morning of the 9th, our scouts reported the rebel advance 
moving forward. Falling back slowly, and constantly skirmishing, 
Colonel Jordan reached a point on the Maukport and Laconia 
roads, about a mile from Corydon, where he formed aline of battle, 
and constructed such hasty defenses as he could. At ten o'clock 
the rebels appeared in force along the whole line, and commenced 
an attack upon our left, which was held by the " Spencer Guards," 
under Captain George W. Lahue. The Guards repelled it vig 
orously; it was repeated twice, but with the same result, and the 
loss of quite a number of the assailants, killed and wounded. This 
determined resistance made it necessary for the enemy to reinforce 
that portion of their line, and the left was consecjuently compelled 
to fall back. An advance was then made upon our entire front, 
but our men held their ground bravely, and maintained the fight 
with spirit, and considerable loss to the enemy, for half an hour. 
Then the rebel reserve being brought up and a regiment thrown in 
on our ilank and rear, cutting off reinforcements, their artillery 
opening upon our slender defenses at the same moment, Colonel 
Jordan was forced to fall back to Corydon. But here further re- 
sistence was seen to be worse than useless. The rebels planted 
artillery, of which we had none, on a hill south of the town and 
opened fire, and the little band of defenders soon found itself nearly 
surrounded by a force of veterans numbering eight to one, with retreat 
cut otf. In this position, Colonel Jordan prudently surrendered 



ROBBERIES AT CORYDON. 183 

his command, then consisting of 3-15 men, who were shortly altcr- 
wards paroled by General Morgan. Our loss was three killed — 
Hariu- Stkplkton, Nathan McKinzie and William IIfcth ; 
Jacob Ferrace, one of the Commissioners of Harrison county, was 
mortally, and Caleb Thomas and John Glenn severely, wounded. 
Isaac Lang died of heat and exhaustion in tiie fight. The rebel 
loss was eight killed and thirty-three wounded. General Duke 
says our men "defended their rail piles resolutely," a sufficient 
proof that they did their duty, and an indication that if the rein- 
forcements and artillery promised iVom New Albany had been sent 
to them, the enemy would have met so serious a resistance his 
march would have been delayed till the fast-gathering forces of the 
State could have intercepted him, or until General Hobson's pur- 
suing force could have come up. As it was, the delay was im- 
portant and the loss inflicted considerable. 

Upcm the surrender, the rebels marched into and occupied Cory- 
don. Morgan and his principal officers made their headquarters at 
Kintner's hotel, while his men swarmed through the town, plund- 
ering without check or discrimination. They took from Messrs. 
Douglass, Denbo 6c Co. clothing, hats, caps and boots to the 
amount of $3,500; Mr. Samuel J. Wright's store was laid under 
contribution for a large amount of goods; the drug store of Dr. 
Reeder was plundered, and a number of private houses were en- 
tered and robbed of whatever clothing or other desirable articles 
could be found. The ladies were compelled to cook meals for 
the robbers, if none or not enough were ready when they "called." 
'i'he County Treasurer, Mr. Willison Hisey, was robbed of $750.00. 
and upon each of the three flouring mills of the town a contribu- 
tion of $1,000.00 was levied, but remitted upon payment of $2,- 
100.00, which General Morgan was considerate enough to accept 
from th(! three, as a ransom from burning. When asked "by what 
right he made such a demand," he pointed to his troops, then busily 
robbing the town, and said, "there is my authority." It was sufli- 
cient — if not satisfactory. While marching into town, they took 
prisoners Hon. S. K. Wolfe, State Senator, and Sam'l W. Doug- 
lass, Esq., County Auditor, who were engaged with the Legion in 
the tight, and placing them at the head of the column, compelled 
them to lead the advance, threatening to shoot them on the sj)ot if 
the column was fired upon. Om- prisoners were robbed of their 
money, hats, boots, and clothing. Five hundred horses were gath- 



184 ADJUTANT general's REPOKT. 

ered up and taken from the citizens of Harrison county. Among 
tiie plundering crowd was recognized a spy, who had recently been, 
for a short time, a resident of Corydon, and was well acquainted 
with the place and people. 

(J 1 N G AH E A li • 
Having secured as much plunder and as many fresh horses as 
possible, and given his command a few hours rest, late on the after- 
noon of the 9th, Morgan marched ont of Corydon, leaving behind 
to the care of the citizens eleven of his wounded, tv/o of whom 
soon afterwards died. A few miles out of the town, Mr. Speer H. 
Hurst was wounded while endeavoring to avoid capture, and two 
boys were shot at and wounded, in the north part of the county 
Throwing out detachments on his ilanks, Morgan advanced with 
the main body northward to Palmyra, v/here he halted two hours 
to recuperate and rob; the detachment on the right taking Green- 
ville, in Floyd county, and that on the left entering Paoli, in Orange 
coantv. These movements were well calculated to distract the at- 
tention of our authorities, and confuse their arrangements to pro- 
tect important points, as they left it uncertain where he intended 
to strike. From Paoli, he threatened the Ohio and Mississippi Rail' 
road at Mitchell. From Palmyra, he could strike the New Albany 
and Salem Railroad at Salem ; and from Greenville, he had within 
easy reach both the New Albany Railroad at New Providence, and 
the Jeffersonville Railroad at Vienna. Morgan, however, either 
deemed it unsafe to scatter his forces in so many directions, or ac- 
complished all he aimed at in simply thus showing himself, for the 
detachments, after taking all the horses and plundering all the farm 
houses witliin reach in Harrison, Crawford, Orange, Floyd and 
Washington counties, through portions of each of which they pass- 
ed, converged towards Salem, in Washington county, where the 
entire force arrived at nine o'clock on the morning of the 10th. 

AT SAL ];M. 
They easily dispersed the squads of badly armed Minute-men th at 
came out to meet them, entered the town without difficulty, and cap- 
tured a company of the Washington county Legion, commanded by 
Captain John Davis, which unknowingly came in just after they 
had entered, for the purpose of receiving their arms and ammuni- 
tion to resist the raid.* A small force under Hon. James A. Crav- 

*1)UKE relates this anecdote : "A small swivel, used bv the younger population of Salem to cole - 
brate CUrLstmas and the Fourth of July, had been planted to receive ws : about eighteen inches

ENS, was forced hastily to retreat, and another coitipany, which was 
on its way to the town upon a train of the New Albany and Salem 
Railroad, narrowly escaped capture. Cut for the prudent caution 
of ihe engineer, who suspected tlanger from the number of mount- 
ed men he saw near the track, the last mentioned company would 
have been caught inevitably, and the whole train lost. At Salem, 
Mo.'iGAX burned the large railroad bridge, destroyed several small 
bridges and culverts, tore up the track for a considerable distance, 
and burned the depot, with its contents. He also levied 81,000.00 
upon each of the mills of the vicinity, and plundered all the stores? 
and most of the dwellings. In fact, such a scene of pillage was 
enacted as was certainly never before witnessed in this State, and 
probably nowhere else. General Duke's description of it is too 
graphic to be omitted. He says : "This disposition to wholesale 
plunder exceeded anything that any of us had ever seen before- 
The great cause for apprehension which our situation might have 
inspired seemed only to make the men reckless. Calico was the 
staple article of appropriation. Each man who could get one, tied 
a bolt of it to his saddle, only to throw it away and get a fresh one 
at the first opportunity. They did not pillage with any sort of 
method or reason. It seemed to be a mania, senseless and pur- 
poseless. One man carried a bird-cage, with three canaries in it, 
tw^o days. Another rode with a chafing-dish, which looked like a 
small metalic colfin, on the pommel of his saddle, until an officer 
forced him to throw it away. Although the weather was intensely 
warm, another, still, slung seven pairs of skates around his neck, 
and chuckled over his acquisition ! Tliey pillaged like boys rob- 
bing an orchard. I would not have believed that such a passion 
could have been developed so ludicrously among any body of 
civilized men.'' 

The rebels did not stay long in Salem. Detachments were sent 
out towards Brownstovvn, Jackson county, oti the direct road to 
Indianapolis, which was picketed and scouted by two companies 
of mounted Minute-men, under Captain Meedy W. Shields, and 
towards Orleans. Morgan soon discovered that his road northward 
was too hazardous to attempt, and hearing that General Houso.x

that the forces of the State were rapidly gathering to intercept him 
and protect the most important points, he left Salem about two 
o'clock P. M., and hurried towards the Ohio with the apparent 
single object of putting that stream between himself and the 
hornctri' nest he had roused, as speedily as possible. 

THE FLIGHT AND PURSUIT- 

General Hobson wath about 4,000 mounted men and some pieces 
of artillery, of General Judah's command, had been following 
Morgan through Kentucky for several days. On the morning of 
the 9th he arrived at Brandenburg, about the time that the rebel 
advance was skirmishing with our forces on the road to Corydon. 
A portion of their rear guard was still in sight on this side of the 
river, and the "Alice Dean," which had been set on fire after serving 
their purpose, was still burning near the Indiana bank. A nuuiber 
of steamers, in response to General Hobson's apj)lication for means 
of ferriage, arrived from Louisville about noon, and the command 
commenced crossing. The advance, instead of pressing on, en- 
camped on a convenient hill, and awaited the passage of the main 
body. They and tlieir horses, however, needed rest; and the ad" 
vance, alone, was too weak to have rendered any very efl'jctive 
assistance to our force at Corydon. By three o'clock on the morn- 
ing of ihe 10th, the entire command had crossed, and the pursuit 
was resumed. At ten o'clock it reached Corydon, when it was 
twenty-five miles behind Morgan, who was then at Salem. After 
a brief halt, it pushed on and at night encamped within a few miles 
of Salem. 

In the meanwhile Morgan, by a rapid march to the east, passed 
through the villages of Canton and New Philadelphia, and reached 
Vienna, on the Jeffersonville railroad, at six o'clock in the evening. 
He made no halt there, but pressed on, though his troops were so 
much wearied they qonsumed nearly the whole night in passing. 
The citizens were not molested. At a little grocery near the depot 
they obtained some provisions and paid for them in '-greenbacks." 
The depot and bridge were burned by a small detachment, while 
the main body continued its march; but the bridge was repaired a 
few hours afterward. At this place, General Duke says, Morgan 
"tapped the telegraph," having captured the operator before he 
could give the alarm, and learned "that orders had been given to 
the militia to fell timber and blockade all the roads we [the rebels] 



THE "siege" of vkrnov. 187 

would be likely to travel — onr rapid marching having, hitherto, 
saved us this annoyance." That night he reached Lexington, the 
coLinTy seat of Scott county, eight miles east of Vienna, and en- 
camped. He, with a small escort, blcpt in the town. During the 
night a small party of Colonel Bering's troops, from Madison, who 
were out scouting, entered the place, made a few observations and 
dashed away without molestation. 

A movement was commenced to intercept Morgan at Vienna, 
on the afternoon of the 10th, by sending a brigade of infantry and 
a battery of artillery from Jeffersonville by rail, under Brigadier 
General M. D. Maxson, and the troojis were already embarked on 
the cars in high spirits, when an order from General Boyle, to 
whose command the post at Jeffersonville belonged, stopped them. 

It is probable that the revelation, made by the appearance of 
our scouts at Lexington, of the preparations in progress to prevent 
his re;iching the Ohio in the direction of Madison, induced Mor- 
gan to again change his course. From Corydon he had moved 
northward to Salem, with the probable design of attacking or 
threatening Indianapolis, but he soon discovered that that route 
was impracticable, and so changed his course eastw^ard, doubtless 
in llie hope of finding an outlet at some not very distant point 
across the river, which had now became a serious obstacle and 
vexation to him. Baffled on almost every hand, he moved out of 
Lexington on the morning of the lllh, in a northerly direction to- 
wards Vernon, throwing out a detachment to make a feint against 
Madison, and thereby to prevent our troops there from moving up 
the Madison and Indianapolis railroad to give him trouble on that 
line. At Vernon there were two large bridges on the Madison 
railroad, which he might destroy; and at North Vernon, four 
miles further north, the Madison railroad crossed the Ohio and 
Mississippi railroad, and presented a most inviting field for destruc- 
tion, and the surest means of preventing pursuit by our troops 
South and West. But our authorities were as well aware of the 
importance of these lines of road as he was, and as soon as it was 
know that he had turned eastward from Salem, General Willcox 
took measures to protect his communications by ordering a part 
of General Lovk's force, then at Seymour, to Vernon. Colonel 
Williams' and Colonel Burkams' regiments of the Legion, w'ere 
accordingly sent forward, with four pieces of artillery, by the Ohio 
and Mississippi railroad, and they were instructed to hold the place 



188 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

;it all hazards, (ioneral Lovh was also ordered to tnovc to the 
sai"ne point as soon as practicable with the remainder of his force. 
Leaving Colonel Burkam at North Vernon, Colonel Williams 
took his own regiment and one company of Colonel Burkam's, 
with two pieces of arlillery, to Vernon, and posted them so as to 
defend the bridges and the town. With some armed citizens of 
JenniMgs county, his whole force was about 400 men.

Morgan came in sight of Vernon in the afternoon. "A strong 
force was posted there," General Duke states, "which Morgan did 
not care to attack," but desiring to get past without betraying his 
j)urpose, he sent in a flag of truce and demanded a surrender. At 
the same he threw out skirmishers along the roads and apparently 
})repared for an attack, and, nnder cover of these demonstrations, 
moved off his main cohimn towards Dupont. Colonel Williams 
met tlie summons to surrender with the reply that he " was abund- 
antly able to hold the place, and if General Morgan got it, he must 
take it by hard fighting." It is possible that, notwithstanding the 
movement of his main column towards Dupont and the feint by 
which he attempted to cover it, Morgan expected a surrender, for 
in a short time he sent a second flag with a similar summons, and 
he must have felt a little unwilling to give it up, without any eflbrt 
to secure them, the important objects for which he had come so 
much further north than he needed to if he only wanted, as Colonel 
Duke intimates, to cross the Madison railroad and keep on his way. 
If that had been his only purpose he could have gone directly to 
Dupont and thus have saved some ten or twelve miles. Colonel 
Williams refused to receive the second message, but detained the 
bearer of the flag until the arrival of General Love, which occuned 
soon after. The General at once sent back, as his answer, a summons 
to Morgan himself to surrender. By this time our force had been 
increased to 1,000 men; and small and illy prepared as it was. 
General Love at once began his preparations for a fight. He sent 
a flag of truce to Morgan asking two hours to remove the women 
and children, and the reply came granting thirty minutes. The 
aon-combatants were at once removed to a wood near by where 
they would be protected, the guns were placed in position, and the 
troops disposed so as to make the best defense possible. But no 
further demonstration was made, except a movement as if the 



DUPONT LAID UNDER CONTRIBUTION. 189 

rebels aitned to get in between Verrioti and North Vernon, which 
brought Oil ;i slight skirmish and ended " tlie siege." 

Jt is evident, notwithstanding Genc^ral Dukk's indifferent a,lln- 
sion to it, that the check at Vernon was something more than an 
impediment in a convenient road. Morgan was defeated in an 
im|)ortant obj«xt; and the fast thickening dangers caused him to 
abandon his plans almost as soon as he had undertaken to put them 
into execution. 

While these operations were in j)rogress, Major General Wallace 

was started with a brigade of troops just collected and organized at, 

IndianapoHs, and Major (general Hughes was ordered with his 

command from Mitchell, and bofh proceeded by rail to Vernon 

wiih such promptitude that they would have attacked Morgan 

early the next morning, had he not in the meantime prudently re- 

suHied his flight. 

N W A R D . 

General Love, having learned from Mr. Thomas Reiley, lle- 
corder of Jennings county, who had been taken prisoner, that the 
rebels were at Dupont about one o'clock in the night, sent all his 
mounted force, consisting of twenty men, under Captain Bovn, to 
reconnoitre. They picked up some twenty or thirty stragglers, with 
whom they returned in the morning, and confirmed the news as to 
Morgan's position. He had halted and camped about midnight 
near Dupont, on the Madison railroad, some eight miles southeast, 
of Vernon. Detachments, sent out for the purpose, destroyed a 
portion of the track of the railroad, and burned two large and costly 
bridges, one on Big creek, a mile south of town, and the other 
over Graham's Fork. A water tank, twelve freight cars and a 
warehouse were burned; the telegraph wires were cut; F. F. May- 
fiei,d's pork house was j)lundered of 2000 hams, and his store of 
$1,700 worth of goods. General Duke says of this operation, that 
"it was a new feature in the practice of appropriation; every man 
had a ham slung to his saddle. Tlie other stores in the town were 
robbed of small amounts; horses were ttdvcn in all directions, barns 
plundered and wheat fields destroyed. 

At four o'clock on the morning of Sunday, the 12th of July, the 
rebel advance moved out of Dupont, taking the road to Versailles, 
in Ripley county. Here was another change of direction to the 
nortluvard. The object of it was probably to strike tlie Ohio and 
Mississippi Railroad at a point eastward from North Vernon, and 
accomplish there what was so signally deteated at Vernon. One 



190 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

regiment, sent in advance to destroy bridges and caplnre horses, 
dashed into Ver.-ailles about half past one o'clock, captured Colonel 
Japvies H. Cravens, with 300 militia and minute-men, and the 
Treasurer of Ripley county, with $5,000 of public funds. The 
stores and dwellings were pillaged of course. 

There was now force enough on Morgan's track, and ready to 
be concentrated in his front, to have crushed him in almost a mo- 
ment if they could have been placed where they were needed. But 
there were serious obstacles in the way. First, there was ihe in- 
herent diiiiculty of pursuing or encounterijig cavalry with infantry 
transported by railway, infantry, it is true, can travel faster in 
such a case, but must travel on fixed lines, and if cavalry are not 
accommodating enough to travel on the same lines, the infantry 
must seek other means of moving. We needed cavalry to supple- 
ment the service of our railways, and without it Morgan could not 
be "cornered,"' attacked or held at bay so as to give the infantry 
time to reacii him. Besides he did not want or intend to fight — 
only to "throw dust" in the eyes of those who were trying to catch 
him. General Hoijson's force was following as rapidly as possible, 
certainly, but it labored under the serious disadvantage of pursuing, 
with jaded and almost broken-down horses, a colunjn which was 
constantly recruiting itself with fresh ones, and, of course, stripping 
the country, and leaving scarcely any for the pursuers. 

But another difficulty added greatly to the embarrassment of our 
authorities — the want of correct and consistent information. It 
was imjjossible for any merely human intelligence to divine the 
truth in the flood of conflicting and befogging reports that poured 
into the Capital. Morgan marched constantly, with strong detach- 
ments thrown well out on his flanks, and thus secured the double 
advantage of covering a greater extent of horse producing territory 
to recruit from, and of bewildering the people along the line as to 
where he was really going, and to this, no doubt, much of the unre- 
liable and confusing information may be attributed. A few speci- 
mens of these reports are here given to show more clearly by what 
uncertain light our authorities vvcre comj)clled to act. 

On July 10th, the day that Morgan was at Salem, there came re- 
ports to the Governor that our forces had retreated through Fred- 
ericksburg, Orange county, at daylight, pursued by Morgan's whole 
command, 6,000 strong; that 8,000 rebels had taken Paoli, and 
were advancing upon the Ohio & Mississippi Railroad at Mitchell; 



CONFLICTING INFOKMATON*. 191 

that 0,000 rebels had encam[)('(l tlie night before, (the 9lh, while 
INIoRGAN \v;is on the march to Salem.) at Palmyra, and were mov- 
ing towards Vienna; that the rebels were north of Salem — and 
that Salem had been eaptured and burned. These were confusing 
enough, but those on the next day were worse. On the 11 1 h, in 
the morning, the news came that Morgan was at Vieiuia, and 
thought to be trying to get to the Ohio river, to cross, at Madison 
Flats ; at two o'cloek it was reported that our gunboats were en- 
gaging the rebels near Madison; and at half-|)ast five, that Morgan 
\\as at Vernon, deuianding is surrender. On the 12th it was re- 
ported that Morgan was at^ Versailles at. half-past one in the after- 
noon ; at three, that he had suddenly turned, and, with his whole 
foree, was marching on Indiananapolis ; shortly after, that he was 
skirmishing at Sunman's Station, on tlie Indianapolis and Cincin- 
nati Railroad ; at eleven o'clock at night, that he was marching on 
Aurora and Lawrenceburg, and endeavoring to cross the Ohio at 
one of those |)laces. A dispatch from Mitchell thickened the con- 
fusion by reporting that General Bucknkr had crossed the Ohio at 
Brandenburg with 16,000 men, had luu-n:'d Palmyra, and was ad- 
vancing toward Indianapolis. On the 13rh, the day that Morgan 
crossed into Ohio, it was reported, lirsf, that he was fighting at 
Mitchell; then, tliat lie was fighting at Sunman's; again, that 
he had captured Dillsboro, Dearborn county, and was threat- 
ening Lawrenceburg; then, that he had escaped into Ohio at Har- 
rison ; and directly afterwards, that lie had turned back, and was 
marching upon Lawrenceburg! 

A third difiieulty was one in some degree inseparable from the 
use of raw troops suddenly called into service. When ordered to 
move, they were not ready promptly, or their supplies of subsist- 
ence or ammunition were not brought up, and the railway trains were 
behind time. Delays of many hours occurred, which could have 
been avoided if the managers had acted with suflicient energy, or 
if oliicers had not been so much cont'used by conilicting reports 
and orders. 

With these embarrassments surrounding them and clogging 
every movement, the authorities began, as soon as it was known 
that Morgan had reached Versailles, to prepare to protect the line 
of the Indianapolis and Cincinnati Railroad, and by concentrating 
troops upon it, intercept him if possible. General Hi;giil:s, with 
the troops from Mitchell, started for Osgood, on the Ohio and Missis- 



192 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

sippi Railroad, as soon as it was known that Morgan was moving 
northward from Dupont. General Wallace, with his own troops 
and Love's brigade, also moved up from Vernon, having previously 
pursued the enemy to Dupont, and then having to return to North 
Vernon to get transportation on the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad. 
Neither of these forces, however, arrived at Osgood until the rebels 
had passed. In the meantime, while at Vernon, General Wallace 
ordered the collection, by impressment, of all the horses in the 
neighborhood, to form a cavalry force for pursuit, and entrusted its 
execution and command to Colonel Lawrence S. Shuler, of the 
One PInndred and Tliird Regiment Minute-men, who worked so 
vigorously that by four o'clock of the afternoon of the llth he had 
mounted osie hundred and forty-six men, and started rapidly on 
the track of the rebels. General Wallace also, while yet at Ver- 
non, anticipating (as did most of our citizens) that Morgan would 
endeavor to escape at or near Lawrenceburg, requested the people 
of that vicinity, by telegraph, to collect wagons and meet him at a 
designated point near Osgood. Morgan was then but twcnty-Hve 
miles ahead, and General Wallace was quite confident that a 
prompt compliiince with his request w^ould have enabled him to 
have made a forced march, and compelled a collision with the 
enemy. The transportation asked for, however, was not furnished, 
and the command moved on as rapidly as possible, reaching Sun- 
man's Station on the 14th, General Hughes being there also. The 
combined force was about fifty-five hundred strong — amply suffi- 
cient to have defeated the rebels, General Wallace says "in an 
open field fight"; but the delays of transportation, and the dis- 
tance to be marched, prevented them from arriving in time. 

Morgan left Versailles at four o'clock on the afternoon of Sun- 
day, the l*2th. He destroyed two bridges, tore up the railroad 
track and captured the telegraph operator at Osgood, and, follow- 
ing along the line of the Ohio and Mississippi railroad through 
Pierccville to Milan, destroyed all the bridges as he W'Cnt. The 
main body, according to General Duke, after marching far into the 
night, reached Sunman's Station, and halted to rest. Here 
were some 2,500 militia. Colonel James Gavin's One Hundred and 
E^'ourth Regiment of minute-men being among them. Hi^ pickets 
were encountered by the rebel advance about tw^o miles from the 
railroad, and a slight skirmish ensued. The rebels turned off, not 
daring to attack our infantry, and not giving them an opportunity

lO l^i-ing on an action. At five o'clock tlir next morninii;, the l:]ll!, 
iMoRrTAN' moved eastwarciK^ from [lis liivonac a few miles jrom Sun- 
man's, in the direction of tlie Ohio line, crossing tlu; railroad at 
three stations — Harmon's, A^an Weddon's, and Weisburg. The 
bridges and track at all these places were destroyed, and a water- 
rank at Van Weddon's burned. Passing rapidly on by Hubbell's 
corner, New Alsace, Dover and Logan, the rebel advance reached 
Harrison, Ohio, a little after twelve o'clock noon. 

At SuuMian's Station, Colonel Kline G. Suryock, One Hun- 
ilred and Fifrh Regitnent of minute-men, finding that Morgan had 
crossed the railroad and disabled it, commenced the march with 
'lis regiment on foot to Lawrenceburg, the point to which he was 
iriginally destined. About a mile out he met Colonel Sutler's 
cavalry command, which hadjoined General Hobson'.s force on the 
;vening of the 11th; and which was now in the advance. Shulkr 
lad followed so strenously, by five o'clock in the afternoon of the 
12th he had come up with the rebel rear guard, and had been 
irc^ssing close after them ever since. Learning that they were but 
bur or five miles ahead, Colonel Siiryock determined to follow 
[Colonel Shuler, so as to support him in case of an encounter. 
Colonel Shuler came in sight of the rear of the main rebel column 
It Harrison, Ohio, in the afternoon of the 13th, and, expecting to 
)e able to make an attack, he ordered up Colonel Shryock's regi- 
nent, which came rapidly forward. Tlie bridge over Whitewater, 
It Harrison, had been burned, but, after exchanging a few shot« 
uross the river, a convenient ford for our cavalry was found, ami 
t centered the town, only to find it pillaged and the enemy flying, 
IS usual. Here Colonel Shuler rested for a few hours, and then 
tontinued the pursuit, going as far as Batavia, Ohio, where, as ho 
says, finding the citizens able and ready to protect themselves, he 
laltcd and returned home. He speaks in his report very warmly 
)f the enthusiastic welcome given to his command by the people of 
Dhio.* Colonel Sumyock marched to Lawrenceburg, whether 
Uolon(>l Gavi s's regiment had preceded him. 

There can be that little doubt but Morgan's original intention 
vas to "go through" Indiana and Ohio, and his historian intimates 
liat all his attempts and maneuveres to cross the river while in this 
5rate, were mere feints. From the dangers that fast gathered on 
>n his track after he left Vernon, it can hardly be doubted, had

an opportunity offered, he would gladly have escaped aero? 
the river long before he crossed the Ohio line. His men were litei 
ally worn out for want of sleep and rest. The evening after h 
left Harrison, it was with the greatest difficulty his first brigade 
was prevented from going to pieces. " Strong men fell OT3t of their 
saddles, and at every halt the officers were compelled to nnove con- 
tinually about their respective commands and pull and haul the 
men who would drop asleep in the road — it was the only way to 
keep them awake." After leaving Sunman's Station, on the morn- 
ing of the loth, in a period of thirty-five hours, he marched more 
than ninety miles, the greatest march, Duke says, he ever made. 
During his brief pilgrimage of five days through the State, he cer- 
tainly did not feel that he was "master of the situation," by a very- 
great deal. 

THE PURSUIT INTO OHIO. 

As soon as Governor Morton was informed of the escape of 
Morgan into Ohio, he notified Governor Tod of that State, of the 
fact, and tendered him the services of 5,000 of our State troops; 
and steps were at once taken to forward as large a force as possible, 
in pursuance of this proffer. Our authorities hoped that if a vigor- 
ous and prompt movement was made, Morgan might be inter- 
cepted at or near Hamilton, Ohio. A brigade of three regiments 
of Minute-men, the One Hundred and Eighth, Colonel William 
C. Wilson; the One Hundred and Sixth, Colonel Isaac P. Gray, 
and the One Hundred and Ninth, Colonel John R. Mahan, with 
the Twelfth Michigan Battery of Light Artillery, was ordered to 
rendezvous at the Indiana Central Railway in Indianapolis, the 
first two regiments at 3 o'clock P. M., the third at 5 o'clock P, M. 
of the 13th of July, to take the cars for Hamilton. The regiments 
reported promptly. The Michigan Battery, while hastening to the 
rendezvous about dusk, in obedience to the order, met with a fear- 
ful accident. The caisson of one of the guns exploded in the 
middle of the street in the northwestern part of the city, hurling 
two of the men who were riding upon it many yards through the 
air, mutilating them frightfully, and of course killing them instantly, 
and wounding another, and a lad who was passing by at the mo- 
ment, so badly that they both died a few hours afterward. The 
remainder of the battery joined the brigade at the railway. Here a 
most unfortunate and inexcusable detention occurred. The regi- 
ments were compelled to wait from five to seven hours before they 
could get away, delaying their arrrival at Hamilton until daybreak, 



THE LAWRENCEBURG DISASTER. 196 

and as late as 10 o'clock on the nioriiing of the 14tli. The brigade 
was at first placed under command of Brigadier General Carring- 
TON, with orders to use all dispatch and move with as naany troops 
as could then be transported at 3 o'clock. Learning, at 9 o'clock 
at night, that he had not started, and that there was no sullicient 
excuse for his delay. General Willcox removed him from the 
command and gave it to General Hascall, who at once hastened 
the movement of the two regiments yet remaining, and reached 
Hamilton, as he states, "just in time to be too late." The detention 
was quite mortifying to every one concerned in the expedition, and 
the opinion prevailed that if the original orders had been carried 
out, Morgan would have been overtaken.* In the afternoon of 
the 14th, General Hascall ordered the whole brigade to Cincin- 
nati; whence, in a day or two, all returned to Indianapolis and 
were discharged. 

THE ACCIDENT AT LAWRENCEBURG. 
The resistance and pursuit of the rebels was as nearly bloodless 
as any hostile movement on so large a scale could be, but it was 
destined to cause more bloodshed after its departure than it did by 
its presence. On the evening of the 13th, Colonel Gavin, in com- 
mand at Lawrenceburg, having been informed that Morgan had 
taken Harrison and had turned back and was advancing upon Law- 
renceburg, took prompt measures to meet him. He sent out his own 
regiment, the One Hundred and Fourth, half a mile beyond Hard- 
inton on the turnpike where a strong barricade was constructed, 
and a line of battle was formed along the tow path of the canal so 
as to use the canal bank as a defense. Colonel Shryock's regi- 
ment, the One Hundred and Fifth, was ordered to take position 
half a mile in the rear. About nine o'clock at night, while march- 
ing to the assigned position through a very short curve in the road 
at Hardinton, the rear of the column seeing the head indistinctly 
in the darkness, and unaware of the curve which threw the men in 
front on a line parallel with those in the rear, mistook it for a por- 
tion of the expected enemy's force, and a shot accidentally fired at 
the moment made the impression so strong that they fired into the 
advance. The advance, of course, mistook the fire for that of the 
enemy and returned it Colonel Shrvock instantly rode down the 
line to stop the firing, telling the men that they were killing their 
comrades, but though promptly obeyed he was too late to prevent

ment to the field within three days of thirty thousand men fully 
armed and organized — he spoke with just pride of so wonderful an 
exhibition of the spirit of the people, and of its effect in turning tlic 
raid into a desperate flight, and tendered to the troops on behalf of 
the State his hearty thanks for their alacrity and self-sacrifice in 
responding to his call. He took occasion also to urge the import- 
ance of a thorough organization of the Legion, and liis anxiety to 
see the temporary organizations of the Minute-men converted into 
^permanent ones under the law,

Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad, thinking that once past

tion of Hamilton, to create the impression that he would advance 
upon that place, while the main Ixxly started directly toward Cin- 
cinnati, hoping thus to send the torces that might get in his way, 
part up to Hamilton and part back to Cincinnati. At this time lie 
had less than 2,000 effective men. His plans for eluding our forces 
and getting past Cinciiuiati succeeded, but on the 19th he was 
overtaken near BulFington Island, in the Ohio river, where he was, 
much against his will, forced into a sharp fight, and which ended 
in the capture of 700 of his men. A portion of his Ninth Tennes 
see regiment managed to cross the river in a small flat boat before 
the fight began, and escaped. With near 1,200 men, he resumed 
his flight up the river, |)ursued by Hobsox. About twenty miles 
above Bufiington Island 300 miore made their escape by crossing 
the river, and with them some of the best officers of the command. 
The weakened and worn-down force vv'as here re-organized, each 
of the two brigades having only about 400 men. During the night, 
near Blennerhassett's Island, where he had previoiisly tried to cross, 
he was almost surrounded, but escaped by leading his men in single 
file along the side of a steep hill to another road. He escaped cap- 
ture again at the Muskingum river by passing along a path upon 
which it was barely possible for a horse to travel, guided, it is pre- 
sumed, by some of the sympathizing citizens of the vicinity. Buf 
he was still j^ressed upon all sides, more and more closely. His 
troops were killed or captured in scjuads at every point. On the 
26th, near Salineville, Columbiana county, Ohio, within nine miles 
of the western boundary of Pennsylvania, his force being reduced 
to 250 men, and seeing himself hemmed in upon all sides, he sur- 
rendered to a militia Captain, dictating almost as he pleased his 
own terms. This ingenious arrangement, however, was unceremo- 
niously set aside by General Smacklkfohd, of General Hobson's 
command, who soon came up and took charge of Morgan and liis 
remnant of men as prisoners of war. 

Thus ended the Morgan raid. Only four organized companies 
escaped. Besides these some 300 stragglers got safely away, but 
as General Duke mournfully states, "The raid destroyed Morc^an's 
division, and left but a rerrmant of the Morgan cavalry."' 

LOSSES A\n IMPRESSMENTS OF PROPERTV. 
Immediately after the escape of Morgan, measures were taken 
by the State and United States' authorities to ascertain the extent

and amount of losses and damages caused by the rebels, and the 
amount of property taken or impressed by the Union forces. Claim- 
ants were notified by the Governor that every possible effort would 
be promptly made to secure a speedy adjustment and payment of 
all just demands, and they were advised not to sacrifice their claims. 
General Carrington, then acting under the Governor's orders, was 
dispatched to and along the route taken by Morgan, with instruc- 
tions to adopt such immediate means as would relieve the farmers, 
then in the midst of their busiest season, from the embarrassments 
occasioned by the loss of their stock, and to obtain all the informa- 
tion he could as to losses, of all kinds, with the view of perpetua- 
ting the testimony necessary to establish all valid claims. It was 
arranged, for the purpose of affording the farming community tem- 
porary relief, in cases where their horses had been lost in the raid 
or impressed by the Federal forces, that they might retain such ani- 
mals as were abandoned by either force for present use, and to ena- 
ble them to gather their iiarvests, upon giving sufficient security 
for their good keeping and proper return on proof of ownership, 
or other direction of the duly constituted authorities. And it was 
further provided that all horses found by citizens who had lost none, 
should be turned over to the proper Provost Marshals, subject to 
such disposition as might thereafter be determined upon. The or- 
ders issued in pursuance of this plan,* and the energetic efforts 
made by General Carrington and the officers of the United States 
Quartermaster's Department, (Captain — now General Ekin — and 
his efficient assistants,) resulted in great relief, for the time being, 
to many farmers who otherwise would have been unable, from the 
lack of teams, to carry on their work and secure their crops. The 
claims were duly reported to the proper Departments at Washing- 
ton for adjustment; but after the authorities had accomplished all 
this, it was found that there w^ere many insuperable difficulties in 
the way of effecting fair and satisfactory settlements. The regula- 
tions of the U. S. Quartermaster's Department required that all ani- 
mals abandoned by either Federals or rebels, whether branded 
" U. S." or "C. S.", or impressed into the United States service, 
should be collected together, and, if serviceable, turned into the 
Quartermasters Department for issue; or, if not serviceable, they 
should be inspected, condemned, and sold for the benefit of the 
United States, in accordance with the Army Regulations. No

animals were allowed to be returned to claimants even on proof of 
ownership; nor could payment be made, in the opinion of the Gov- 
ernment officials, for any property impressed by the officers of the 
Federal troo|)s, unless it was clearly shown that the officers who 
impressed the same were regularly mustered into the United States 
service. All claims for damages by our own troops, and for horses 
and other property stolen, destroyed or damaged by the rebels, were 
entirely ignored. There were many cases where farmers lost horses, 
by the rebels, which were subsequently abandoned or re-captured, 
and, upon being turned over to the United State authorities, were 
put up and sold and their former possessors, the real owners, to 
supply themselves with teams, were compelled to purchase and pay 
for their own property. These hardships were augmented by the 
fact that large numbers of the horses not stolen by Morgan on his 
route were subsequently impressed by officers of the Legion and 
Minute-men, whose vouchers were repudiated at Washington. 
Thus it will be seen that between the thefts of the enemy and the 
impressments of our own forces, those who suffered stood but a 
poor chance of being compensated for their losses from any source. 
Governor Morton, very promptly conferred with the authorities 
at Washington on the subject, but it was assumed by them that 
there was no law that would authorize any liberal plan of adjust 
ment than the one above indicated and already adopted.* So far 
as the State was concerned relief from her Treasury, in any shape, 
was impossible, unless the Legislature, at some iuture time should 
prescribe the mode and provide the means to that end. But the 
Governor, assuming that '' the true theory of our governiuent is 
that it shall protect the people, in their persons and property, against 
invasion and loss from the public enemy, or injury by domestic in- 
surrection," did not cease his endeavors to procure a settlement 
through the departments of the general Government. After much 
correspondence, he finally, on the 19th of December, 1863, forwarded, 
through the Quarter Master General, a memorial setting forth the 
facts in regard to the losses, in consequence of the raid, and com- 
batting the specious arguments and technical objections, that had 
been made against the settlement and payment of the claims. 
This memorialf was laid before Congress, and a bill was intro-

duced, (March 4tli, 1^64) for the relief of ihose citizens of Indiana j 
and Ohio, whose horses and otlier property were taken by the for- 
ces of the United States, during the pursuit of Morgan ; but it 
failed to pass. 

Nothing further was done, or could be done, until the meeting 
of the Legislature in January, 186-3, when the Governor, in his 
message, laid the subject btU'ore that body, with a recommendation 
that a commission be appointed to investigate the claims, and that 
Ihey be paid out of the Treasury, under such regulations as would 
prevent imposition upon the State.* Two bills were introduced, but 
owing to a want of concert amojig the J'riends of the measiu'e, 
neither of them became a law. 

In November, 1865, tlie Legislature convened in extra session, 
and the Governor again invoked attention to the claims, and 
repeated his former recommendations on that subject.f A bill was 
brought forward, providing for the appointment of Commissioners, 
to adjust the losses, but the two Houses fLuling to agree upon some 
proposed amendments, it shared the fate of the other bills. 

Thus the matter rested until the next regular session of the 
Legislature, January, 1867, when the subject was again brought to 
their attention by a communication from the Adjutant General.^ 
The result, this time, was favorable; concurrent resolutions \vere 
passed on the Uth of March, § providing for the appointment, by 
the Governor, of three Commissioners, whose duties are set forth 
as follows : "To hear, determine and adjust all claims for losses 
which have heretofore accrued by reason of the injury, destruction, 
toss, or impressment of property, had or held by any inhabitants of 
this State, by rebel forces under the comn)and of JonN Morgan 
in the year 1863, or caused by the State or Nationed forces en 
gaged in repelling said invasion; or caused by organizing and 
equipping troops to repel the threatened invasion of the State by 
the rebel forces under the command of ADA^r .Johnson, in the year 
1864." An Attorney to protect the interests of the State, and a 
Clerk to keep a record of the proceedings of the Commissioners 
were also provided for. The Commissioners were required to 
visit the various counties afiected by the raids above mentioned, 
■and examine all claims duly presented and, ascertain the amonut

of loss thereon, and \vi)elher the claim be meritorious, a.s npon 
evidence before them they may deem just and equitable." The 
claims were required to be separated into the following classes; 

1. Claims for property taken, or destroyed, or injured by the 
Union forces, under command of United States' ofiicers. 

2. Claims for property taken, or destroyed, or injured by the 
Union forces, under State officers. 

3. Property taken, or destroyed, or injured by the rebels. 

4. Property taken, or dCvstroyed, or injured, where claimant is 
unable to identify by which (force) the loss occurred. 

The resolutions required the Commissioners to make report of 
their findings, with a comprehensive abstract of the testimony 
taken to the Governor, on or before the 17th of January, 1868, who 
will report the same to the next General xissembly, with his recom- 
mendations thereon. 

In pursuance of said resolutions. Governor Baker nrade the fol- 
lowing appointments : Hon. Smith Vawtkr, of Jennings ; Hon. 
Joux I. Morrison, of Marion; and Colonel John McCrka, of 
Monroe, Commissioners; and Colonel Charles W. Chapman, of 
Kosciusko, Attorney. Colonel Chapman declining. General Thos. 
M. Browne, of Randolpii, was ap])ointed in his stead. William 
R. Browning, Esq., of Bloomington, Vv'as selected by the Commis- 
sioners as their Clerk. 

The Commissioners duly entered upon a vigorous discharge of 
their important duties, and, up to the time of the present wriiing, 
(October lOth, 1867,) have made good progress. From their high 
standing and character as citizens and excellent qualifications as 
business men, it may confidently be expected that tiieir labors will 
be faithfully and ably performed, and that while full justice will be 
rendered to claimants, the interests of the State will be jealously 
guarded and protected. 

The labors of the Commission were faithfully performed; they 
visited all the counties interested, and, by patient investigation and 
research, become fully informed as to the merits of the many claims 
presented. 

Since the foregoing was written, the report of the transactions 
of the Commission has been filed with the Governor, from which 
the following facts have been extracted :

MORGAN'S LAST KENTUCKY RAID— JUNE, 1864. 

INDIANA AGAIN TO THE RESCUE. 
After the rebel General John H. Morgan escaped from the Ohio 
Penitentiary, where he had been confined after his Indiana and 
Ohio raid of 1H63, he was placed in comiriand of the Department 
of South-western Virginia. His recollection of former hearty wel- 
comes by a large and sympathizing portion of the people of the 
"Blue Grass Region " in Kentucky, and of the luxuries and above 
all the "sp(Hls-' always abundant in that famed locality, and which 
had so long been denied his followers, made him extremely anxious 
to visit it again in his "official capacity." He had, therefore, not 
been long in command before he projected another raid, planned 
upon an extensive scale, for the purpose, as he represented to the 
rebel War Department, of preventing the Federals from throwing 
a formidable force into South-western Virginia and destroying the 
salt works and lead mines which were of vast importance to the 
Confederate cause. It was afterwards ascertained that it was a 
part of Morgan's plan to capture Munfordsville and destroy the 



morgan's last raid. 203 

great railroad bridge over Green river at that point, a bridge wiiich 
could not be rebuilt in less than three months, and the destruction of 
which would have been a great disaster to General Shkrman's army. 

THE INVASION-PREPARATIONS TO MEET IT. 

The raid was accordingly commenced in the latter part of May, 
1864, by Morgan's division, consisting, according to Dukp^'s history, 
of three brigades twenty-four hundred strong, all well mounted 
except the third brigade of eight hundred men, who, from the 
success which liad previously attended their leader's adventures in 
the acquisition of " stock," confidently expected to bestride the best 
horsh-flesh in Kentucky within a short time. 

GeneraIBuRBRiDGE,commandingthe Union forces in Central Ken- 
tucky, was then at Lexington, and on the 23d of May telegraphed 
Governor Mokton as follows : " Dispatches from Generals Hallkck 
and Crook give the best possible assurance that John Morgan, 
with a force of about four thousand mounted men, is now entering 
Kentucky by way of Pound Gap with the intention of marching 
by way of Richmond, Lexington and Bardstown, and destroying 
the bridges on the Louisville and Nashville railroad where he can, 
and then joining Johnson by forced marches through Tennessee. I 
start to-day with all my available force to meet him. The railroad 
and Louisville are very defenceless. Can not you send, or have on 
the border ready to move at any monicnt to Louisville and on the 
road, four regiments? Lieutenant Colonel Fairleigh is in com- 
mand at Louisville and will afford you any information possible." 

The Governor's response, on the same day, was characteristic: 
" One regiment leaves to-night, one to-morrow and two others on 
Wednesday. If necessary I will call out the militia. Please give 
me any new information of the invasion, as I do not wish to call 
out the militia on mistake." The season was a busy one with our 
farniers; the Legion on the border had performed a great deal of 
guard duty and other service, and theGovernor was, therefore, in- 
disposed to make any additional demand upon them until some- 
thing more certain could be known as to the strength and move- 
ments of the enemy. 

The next advices received were from the commanding otficer at 
Louisville, under date of June 8th, as follows: "We are in press- 
ing need of troops. This city and the Louisville and Nashville 
Railroad are almost defenseless. We hope for four or five thousand

tneu from you for <\. few days. How many can you give us, and 
how soon will 1ht'y be here?" The next morning the Governor 
forwarded the One Hundred and Thirty-Ninth regiment, Indiana 
volunteers, to Louisville, and it was placed at Muldraugh's Hill to 
guard the railroad. The same day General Hobsox, commanding 
the District of Kentucky, telegraphed from Covington to this effect: 
" I am directed by General BuRimiDOK to call on you for any troops 
you can send me to Louisville or Frankfort. General Burbridgk 
has nearly all the troops with him near Pound Gap, and the rebels 
have come into Kentucky in force. They have taken Mt. Sterling 
and burned two bridges on the Lexington and Covington Railroad." 
In a second dispatch, dated also at Covington on the same day, 
(the 9th,) General Hoeson, in reply to an enquiry from Governor 
Morton as to the whereabouts of the enemy, said : '' The rebels 
have taken Mt. Sterling, Paris and Cynthiana, and are now reported 
1:0 be ^00 strong between here and Paris on the railroad. They 
have taken Maysville. Nearly all the troops in this part of Ken- 
tucky are with General BurrridctE in the mountains." 

There were no organized volunteer troops in the State at this 
time subject to the control of the Governor. In view of the danger 
that appeared to threaten Louisville and other towns on the border, 
and the possibility that either Morgan, or guerrilla bands embold- 
ened by his presence in Kentucky, might attempt another foray 
upon Indiana, the Governor called out the Legion in the counties 
of Harrison, Floyd, Clark, JetTerson, Jennings and Switzerland. 
The Jennings regiment was sent to Madison, and with the JetTer- 
son Legion held in readiness to proceed instantly to Louisville by 
steamers, should the Governor so order. The Harrison and Floyd 
regiments and the New Albany batteries went into camp at New 
Albany, and the Clark regiment at Jeffersonville, ready to proceed 
to Louisville at a moment's notice. The south side of the Ohio 
river, in the counties of Oldham, Trimble, Carroll and Gallatin, in 
Kentucky, was filled with roving squads of rebels, recruiting officers 
and guerrillas. Our home forces were, therefore, compelled to 
guard all exposed points, which added greatly to the other heavy 
ilemands made upon them by their private affairs, and the with- 
drawal of so many men, awaiting orders to be sent into Kentucky 
if required. 

On the 10th the Forty-Third regiment, Indiana Volunteers, ar- 
rived at Indianapolis from Arkansas on veteran furlough. This

gallant hodv of troo|).s had been at the front J'or nearly three year?, 
and had re-enlisted for three years longer. The demands of ihe* 
ir=ervice woiild nor admit of their being furloughed home to enjoy 
their thirty days' of rest until now. Notwithstanding all this, as 
soon as they rer.ehed the Capital, and were informed of the situa- 
tion of afiairs in Kentucky, they volunteered to a man, and placed 
themselves under the orders of the Governor for immediate service. 
They vv'ere sent to Louisville the following morning, whence they 
were sent to Frankfort to the relief of Governor Bhami.ettk and a 
small force who were besieged at that place. 

Brigadier General Carrington was also ordered by the Gover- 
nor to Louisville to observe the situation, and to aid in disposing 
of the Legion regiments along the Nashville railroad for its protec- 
tion, should their services be required. Adjutant General Nobli: 
was sent to New Albany to see that the Legion was in j)voper con- 
dition, anil to get the two batteries in shape for moving in case of 
need. Commissary General Stone was dispatched to New Al- 
banv, and then to Madison, to provide quarters and subsistence for 
the assembled troops. Colonel Fkybarger fitted out a battery at 
Indianapolis, and, with a company of well drilled artillerists, re- 
})orted at Louisville on the night of the 11th. 

At Louisville, nothing scarcely was done by the authorities for 
defense of the place, until the morning of the 11th, when business 
was suspended and the citizens organized into military companies. 
Generals Carrington and Noble, and Colonel Frvbargi:r, by 
their presence and advice, contributed largely in placing the city in 
a condition to resist an attack'. 

M R G A N .N T II E W A K P A T II . 

While these preparations were being made, Morgan was hurry- 
ing forward and doing immense mischief. A brief retrospect of 
iiis operations is necessary to a jiist comprehension of the magni- 
tude of his raid, and of the energetic elTorts that were made to de- 
feat it. 

'J'h(! rebel column reached Mount Sterling on the morning ol the 
8th of June, and attacked the garrison stationed there, and soon 
forced its surrender, with a large quantity of stores, wagons and 
horses. Leaving two brigades to appropriate the captured horses, 
and such other property as could be made available, and to destroy 
the remainder, Morgan, with his best brigade, immediately pressed 



206 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

forward for Lexington. General Burbridge was at this time 
hastening to Mount Sterling, though not expecled by the rebels for 
two or three days. By a forced march of ninety miles in thirty 
hours, he reaehed Mount Sterling at daybreak on the 9th, surprised 
and completely routed the rebels, killing large numbers, capturing 
many prisoners, and scattt^ring a still larger number to the moun- 
tains. The brigade of dismounted men was entirely broken up. 
This was a great disaster to Morgan's plans, and seriously inter- 
fered with the success of his expedition. On the lOlh he entered 
Lexington, after a slight skirmish, and proceeded to his favorite 
work of plunder and destruction. The Government depot and 
stables were burned, and a sufficient number of horses captured to 
mount all his dismounted men who afterwards straggled in. A 
detachment had jireviously been sent to destroy the bridges of the 
Frankfort and Lexington Railroad, "to prevent," as General Duke 
says, "troops arriving from Indiana for the defense of Lexington 
and Central Kentucky." At the same time another detachment 
was sent to operate in like manner upon the Kentucky Central 
Railroad, "to prevent the importation of troops from Cincinnati ;" 
and a force of one hundred men was dispatched to capture Mays- 
ville and draw off attention to that quarter. Morgan instructed 
the officers commanding these detachments "to accomplish tlieir 
Vt'ork thoroughly, but promptly; to create as much excitement as 
possible ; occasion the concentration of (opposing) forces already 
in the State at points widely apart; to magnify his strength and 
circulate reports which would bewilder and bafllle any attempt to 
calculate his movements."* They were to rejoin him in three or 
four days. After plundering Lexington, and destroying all the 
Government property he could find and did not use, Morgan 
moved to Georgetown, whore he had scores of fraternizing friends — 
sending one company to demonstrate against Frankfort, where 
they caused much alarm, and confined to the fortifications around 
the town a considerable force, including Governor Bramlette and 
his staff", for several days. 

Leaving Georgetown, Morgan proceeded to Cynthiana, arriving 
on the morning of the 11th. Here his success was complete. He 
captured the garrison, four hundred strong, after sharp resistance, 
plundered freely, burned a portion of the town, and destroyed large 
quantities of stores.

ADAM Johnson's threatened raid, 207 

While 1he enemy was thus occupied, General Hobso.n arrived 
with f^onie twelve hundrefl men, and at once engaged a brigade of 
the feiiemy, of about the ^atne strength, which was posted on one 
of the approaches to the village. Word was quickly sent to Mor- 
gan for reinforcemenis, and he soon succeeded in gaining Hocson's 
rear with the balance of his command. Being thus surrounded by 
a superior force, after a short straggle, Hobson was forced to sur- 
render. 

Thu3 far, barring the Mt. Sterling disaster, everything had gone 
on swimmingly with the invaders. But General Burbridge had 
been steadily pursuing, and Morgan, finding himself likely to be 
hotly pressed, concentrated his force as well as he was able by call- 
ing in his detachments, and on the morning of the 12tb prepared 
to withdraw. Burbridge came up, however, unexpectedly, and 
made a spirited and vigorous attack, from which the rebels in vain 
tried to escape. They were compelled to fight, and were defeated 

with frightful loss. 

yiNALE OF THK RAID. 

Morgan precipitately gathered his scattered fragments together, 
and made his way back to Virginia with all possible speed. His 
division was almost destroyed, and many of the scattered survivors 
deserted their commands altogether, and skulked about tiie coun- 
try, or became guerrillas. This was Morgan's last raid, and the 
disasters which befel it caused him to lose the confidence of his 
"government," which he never recovered. 

The Legion was relieved and sent to their homes on the 15th, 
and were commended by the Governor in the warmest terms for 
their prompt response to his call and the readiness they evinced to 
rally to the relief of their sister State. Governor Bramlette also, 
in a letter addressed to Governor Morton, highly complimented 
the troops that were sent to Kentucky, and expressed his grateful 
thanks for the promptness with which the assistance was rendered. 



ADAM JOHNSON'S THREATEINED RAID. 

EXPEDITION INTO K E NTUC K Y- AUO UST , 18G4. 
About the first of July, 1864, several rebel officers, the most 
prominent of whom were Colonels Adam R. Johnson and 



208 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

SKfPKUT, and Majors Chknoweth and Tavlou, made their appear- 
ance in the counties of Union and Henderson, Kentucky, with a 
force variously estimated at from seven hundred to to twelve hun- 
dred men. ColonelJoHNSox had previously achieved much notorie- 
ty as the leader of the raid on Newburg,* in this State, and by the 
cruel and relentless persecution of such citizens of southwestern 
Kentucky as were suspected of entertaining a lingering sentiment 
of attachment to the Union cause, or who failed to exhibit either a 
real or simulated ei!.thusiasin for the cause of the Confederacy. 
As if fully to sustain his reputation, immediately upon his arrival 
he began to enforce a rigid conscription, scouring the country with 
squads of mounted men and pressing into his ranks every man not 
disqualified by extreme youth, feeble old age, or pulpable disability 
for the performance of military duty. By this means his force was 
rapidly increased to about two thousand men, the greater portion 
of whom were well mounted on stolen, "confiscated" or "pressed" 
horses and nudes, and provided with tolerably etfective arms of va- 
rious patterns. 

By the services of volunteer scouts, from the Indiana sjd(; of the 
Ohio river, and the friendly offices of a few^ Union men residing in 
the rebel-infested district, the operations of Johnson and his subor- 
dinates became known to Coh)nel John A. Mann, of Mt. Vernon, 
commanding the First Regiment of the Legion, who wisely con- 
cluded that the presence of such a force, augmented daily by a 
merciless conscription, on the immediate border, at a time when 
the river was so low as to be fordable, without difficulty, at many 
points, threatet)ed the peace and security of his own and adjacent 
eounties. He caused the fords to be guarded by details of his 
command, and forwarded full reports of the situation to General 
.Carrington, commanding the District of Indiana. That officer, 
while fully appreciating the dangers of a raid, was unable to ren- 
der much assistance. He recommended the utmost vigilance on 
the part of the Legion, in the most exposed localities, and dispatch- 
ed Lieutenant Fohgy with thirty men of the Forty-Sixth Regi- 
ment to relieve Colonel Mann's command of a portion of the duty 
of guarding fords. Details of the Legion in Vanderburg and 
Warrick counties were also called into service, and disposed along 
the bank at the most ex])osed points. 

Farly in August, Major General James Hughes, commanding

the Legion, established his iieadquartcrs temporarily at Evaiisville 
as the most convenient point from which to superintend the defense 
of the Southwestern border. Major General Alvin P. Hovky was 
at that time at his home, in Mount Vernon, awaiting orders from 
the War Department. Reliable information reached General Hovkv, 
to the efl'ect, that Colonels Johnson and Seipert, were actively 
preparing to cross the river witli their entire forces, and that their 
programme included not only the seizure and removal of a vast 
amount of portable property, but the surprise, capture and destruc- 
tion of several cities and towns, and the burning of Wiiite River 
bridge, and others on the Evansville and Crawfordsville Railroad. 
This information induced General Hovey to address a communi- 
cation to General Hughes, on the 14th of August, in which he pro- 
posed, "if sufficient, force could be raised" and placed at his dis- 
posal, " to cross the river and attack the camps reported, at and 
near Morganfield, Kentucky." He expressed the hope that by such 
a movement, he might be able " to surprise and capture a large 
number of the force there engaged in conscription and plunder." 
The plan suggested met the cordial apj^roval of General Hughes, 
and was enthusiastically endorsed by the otficers and men of the 
Legion, who responded with cheerful alacrity to the call for volun- 
teers. With characteristic energy, both the general officers, above 
named, immediately applied themselves to the work of raising and 
organizing a force, sufficiently formidable for the proposed expedi- 
tion, and so cifective were their efforts, that on the morning of the 
17th, three days after the inception of the movement — seven hun- 
dred and fifty men, infantry and cavalry, fully equi[)ped, were in 
rendezvous at Mount Vernon, awaiting marching orders. This 
force consisted of the Forty-Sixth Regiment, Indiana Infantry 
Volunteers, Colonel Bkinghurst, commanding, 1<{00 men; the non- 
veterans of the Thirty-Second Regiment Indiana Infantry Volun- 
teers, Colonel Erdelmeyer, commanding, 200 men ; parts of sev- 
eral companies of infantry and three companies of cavalry of the 
Legion, from Vanderburg, Warrick and Posey counties — about 
350 men. Five pieces of artillery, b(>longing to the Legion, were 
added, and as there W(M-e no horses for the guns, it became neces- 
sary to press them, which was done by General Hovey, in Posey, 
and by General Hughes, in Vanderburg, to the infinite disgust of 
the various owners of fine stock. Five steamers, the '* Dunleith,"

brought the information that Genfral Pai.nk, who liad been assigned 
to th(; cornnnand of that part of Kentucky, Iiad landed at Union- 
town with several thousand troops, and tiiat General Prkntiss had 
arrived at Shawneetown, with another detachment of United States 
volunteers. These arrivals, rendered further operations in that vicin- 
ity, on the part of General Hovey's command, unneccessary, and 
accordingly on the 19th, he moved in the direction of Henderson, 
by way of Smith's Mills, at which place they captured five or six 
prisoners, among whom was Captain Bates, Acting Assistant Ad- 
jutant General, on tlie Staff of Colonel Seipekt. who was severelv 
wounded in attempting to escape. 

In searching the baggage and pockets of these prisoners. Colonel 
Mann found a number of blank paroles for the Indiana Legion — a 
further and convincing proof that they had intended to cross the 
river had not their plans been summarily thwarted. Camping for 
the night near Smith's Mills and continuing the march on the 
morning of the 20th, the troops arrived at Henderson about noon 
where they found transports in waiting to ferry the cavalry across 
the river, and convey the infantry and artillery to Mt. Vernon and 
Evansville. 

During the expedition the command was partially subsisted upon 
the country. Fifty negroes joined our forces and were soon after 
mustered into the United States service at Evansville. Three com- 
missioned officers and thirty enlisted men of the rebels were cap- 
tured. The spoils consisted of a small number of horses and mules. 
All the officers and men of the several commands conducted them- 
selves in a soldierly manner and received the thanks of General 
HovEY "for their cheerful cooperation and prompt execution of 
orders."* 



RELATIONS OF INDIANA AND KENTUCKY IN THE 

WAR. 

For tw^o generations before the outbreak of the rebellion, the re- 
lations between Indiana and Kentucky had been peculiarly close 
and intimate. Probably no other two States were bound together 
by so many ties. Kentuckians under the lead of George Rogers 
Clark had conquered our territory from the English. Kentuckians

112 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

under Scott and Hardin had penetrated our frightful wildernesses 
to punish Indians and protect the scattered trading posts in which 
our population was then collected. Kcntuckians settled oar 
lands and founded our towns. When Thcumseh's gigantic schemes 
of war threatened our destruction, Kcntuckians poured across the 
Ohio to join in that decisive battle at Tippecanoe which forever 
terminated Indian hostilities within our borders. Josp:pn Hamilton 
Daviess was a name as dear to Indianians as to Kcntuckians. As 
years passed away, business connections became closer, trade more 
constant and valuable, and intermarriages strengthened all with the 
happier ties of family relationship. Under a sense of the duty 
created by these connections. Governor Wkight of this State, soon 
after his first election, invited Governor Crittexden of Kentucky 
to visit him, and, by an intercourse of a purely friendly character, 
by the interchange of hospitalities and kindly feelings, crowned the 
relations which the history of the States made memorable, with an 
official recognitiotL The visit was a striking event, and was soon 
followed by a return in which Kentucky cordiality and liberality 
completed what the gratitude and respect of Indiana had happily 
commenced. A few years afterwards, Governor Powell j)aid a 
visit to Governor Wright and renewed the interchange of hospi- 
talities. There was everything to hold the States together, nothing 
to force them apart, when the rebellion came, not to d(>stroy, but to 
reverse, the past relations of dependence and protection. Kentu( ky 
was full of rebel zeal and audacity. Her Governor was little less 
than an avowed traitor. R,ebel military organizations had secured 
the State's arms. Loyel men, though not out-numbered, were, by 
the connivance of the authorities, placed at disadvantage. Their 
border counties were turbulent and dangerous wiili rebel bands 
that menaced them and alarmed our own border. No official 
agents could be trusted to obtain or distribute arms. It seemed 
for a time as if the State would be dragged out of the Union, pro- 
testing and helplessly struggling against the eflbrts that threatened 
it. In this crisis her loyal citizens turned to Indiana for help. 
Governor Morton had early warned the Federal Government of 
the danger to be apprehended from Kentucky rebels, and urged the 
importance of providing prompdy and amply for the defense of the 
State. If Kentucky should be made the refuge of rebels, Indiana 
could never be safe. It was, therefore, the part of wisdom, in his 
judgment, to protect all the free States on the Ohio by protecting 



MACHINATIONS TO TAKE KENTUCKY OUT. 213 

Kentucky. The Northwest should be defended south of the Ohio. 
Pursuing this sagacious policy he gave his time and labor freely 
to the help of the Kentucky Union men, and it is hardly too much 
to say, that during the time Bkriah Magoffin remained in office, 
Governor Morton was, more directly and effectively than any 
other man, the Guardian of Kentucky. Through him she received, 
for a time, most of the arms that enabled her loyal men to protect 
themselves. If help was desired from the National Government, 
the expectation of it was built mainly upon his efforts. He was 
informed of every movement as promptly, and his assistance 
requested as confidently as if he had been their own Gov- 
ernor. If dangerous points needed to be guarded, they were 
pointed out to him. If invasions were to be met, he was ap- 
pealed to. His secret agents penetrated all parts of the State, and 
aided the efforts of her loyal citizens to keep him fully informed of 
her condition. From him the General Government obtained its 
earliest and best information, and once his advices were so far in 
advance of ordinary official intelligence that Mr. Lincoln was in- 
clined to treat his alarm as an idle " skeer," till the first invasion of 
the State proved too fully how closely he watched his charge. For 
more than a year Indiana in no small degree maintained to her 
Mother State that guardianship which had so long and so gener- 
ously cherished her own feeble childhood. The debt may not have 
been paid, but nothing that traditional regard and gratitude, and 
present duty, could do to acknowledge its obligations was left 

undone. 

CONDITION OF KENTUCKY-SECESSION SCHEMES. 

When Governor Magoffin replied to the President's call for 
Kentucky's quota of 75,000 volunteers by an insolent refusal, it was 
by no means certain that he and his associates would not force the 
State into the rebellion. That this was their purpose, and that 
plans to efilsct it had been matured, is very certain. Within a little 
more than a week after the President's proclamation, on the 24th 
of April, 1861, Dr. Blackburn, of yellow-fever infamy, an agent of 
Magoffin's, appeared at a public meeting in New Orleans, held in 
honor of the Kentucky volunteers for the rebel army, and in a 
speech, published in the "Picayune" newspaper of that city, said 
that "he had been authorized by Governor Magoffin to apply to 
the Governors of Mississippi and Louisiana for arms for his State," 
that "he had asked for one hundred arms from Mississippi, and 
Governor Pettus had generously responded by giving him two 



214 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

hundred muskets. In a few days two more companies from Ken- 
tucky might be expected, one to be called the Mississippi Guards, 
the other the Pelter Rifles.'' He also stated, that "the centre and 
west of the State were ready to leave the Union the moment they 
get arms." This was said on the 2'4th, nine days after the issuing 
of the President's Proclamation. Dr. Blackburn had already been 
in Mississippi, and procured two hundred muskets. He must, 
therefore, have received his appointment as agent to solicit arms 
and aid from the rebels to force Kentucky out of the Union, but a 
day or two after, if not before, the attack was made on Fort Sum- 
ter. Carrying out the same scheme, General Slmon Bolivar 
BucKNERj the chief officer of the State Guard, had, as far as possi- 
ble, prepared that body for co-operation with the rebels, and had 
obtained the control of the greater part, if not all, of the State arms. 
On the lt2th of September, 1861, precisely five months after Ihe 
attack on Fort Sumter, he published a j>roclamation to "The Peo- 
ple of Kentucky" full of puerile rhetoric and silly metaphor, setting 
forth, among other specimens of the florid eloquence so peculiar to 
the slave States, that they "had seen a portion of their own people 
drawing from beneath the cloak of neutrality the assassin's dagger, 
which is aimed to pierce our hearts," and, that "with the poignard 
at our breasts, they expect us to caress the hand of the assassin, 
and to lick the dust from the iron heel of tyraimy which is raised 
to crush us," and declaring that lie will not submit, but on the con- 
trary that he "will fling to the breeze the proud standard of Ken- 
tucky, and in every valley and on every hill top let its folds be 
kissed by the breezes of Heaven," and expecting Kentuckians to join 
him, and "let our lone star shine an emblem of hope from the deep 
sky blue of our banner over the brothers who join in the grasp of 
friendshij)." Of course a great many of them helped him to "let it 
shine." Through Magoffin's prostituted power and Buckner's 
sophomorical solicitations, the rebels counted, for many months, a 
great many more Kentuckians in their ranks than couid'be found 
in the armies of the Nation. The lower end of the State was more 
entirely and bitterly rebel than many sections of the seceded States. 
Union men were abused, driven away, murdered or plundered, with 
no more scruple, and no more peril, tlian if they had been wild 
beasts. Marauding bands roamed through it at will, and kept our 
own border in constant terror. There was no law, and no safety 
for any but rebels. And to the very end of the war this section 



Magoffin's schemes. 215 

was the scat of turbulancc, disorder and treason. In the more cen- 
tral portions, the celebrated "Blue Grass" region, the wealthiest, 
oldest and most refinetl community of ihe State, though less turbu- 
lent, was not less thoroughly treasonable, and furnished from its 
abundance the means by which the more active rebellion of its ac- 
complices was maintained. In nearly every quarter rebel organi- 
zations of more or less strength existed, and secession was confi- 
dently anticipatedo The position of the Union men was peculiarly 
perilous. Their Governor was a traitor, their domestic military 
force had been partly debauched, their arms had been turned against 
them, and they could not feel at all sure that by official aid and or- 
ganized intimidation, the secessionists nught not carry the 
State into rebellion. The arms they received through Governor 
Morton often had to be secretly distributed and secretly kept. 
General Buckner makes the "clandestine introduction of arms and 
munitions" one of the counts in his timid indictment against the 
President; as if his own treason and that of Magoffin, ferment- 
ing in the State Guard, had not made an open distribution of arms 
dangerous. 

Besides the difficulty of arming against armed treason, and of 
resisting lawlessness with powerless laws, the Unionists found 
themselves, by the cunning of Magoffin and the weakness of 
M Clellan, placed in a position of neutrality, in which the ad- 
vantage was given to the rebel armies below them, as completely 
as it was given, by the official encouragement of treason, to the 
rebel conspirators among them, P'rom the beginning, Magoffin 
seems to have had in viev/ the possibility, by threats or artifice, of 
excluding the National forces from Kentucky, and giving the 
rebels, as nearly as practicable, an unobst4Ucted field for their 
operations. At the very time Dr. Blackburn was assuring the 
people of New Orleans, that Kentucky was arming to go out-»of 
the Union, and was begging arms for her, Magoffin was soliciting 
Governor Morton and Governor Dennison, of Ohio, to join him 
in the abandonment of the National Government and the forma- 
tion of a neutral combination "to preserve peace between the bor- 
der States," and act as "mediators between the contending par- 
ties." On the2'5ih of April, 1861, and the day that Dr. Black- 
burn's speech was published in New Orleans, he sent to (.Tovernor 
Morton this dispatch: " Will you cooperate with me in a propo- 
sition to the government at Washington for peace by the border 



216 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

States as mediators between the contending parties ?" Governor 
Morton replied at once : " I will unite in any efTort for the restor- 
ation of the Union and peace, which shall be constitutional and 
honorable to Indiana and the Federal Glovernment." The next day, 
Magoffin sent another dispatch, stating that he had informed Gover- 
nor Dknnison that " he would meet that gentleman at Cincinnati 
the following Tuesday evening," and requesting Governor Morton 
to meet them there. Governor Morton replied at once that he would, 
and that he expected Governor Magoffin to be there "in person." 
He went to Cincinnati at the appointed time, but Magoffin, though 
expressly notified to be present " in person," did not appear. He 
probably never intended to place his treacherous soul so close to 
the searching examination of honest men, but if he did he 
abandoned the intention. An interview, such as Governor Mor- 
ton desired, would have been quite sure to expose his duplicity 
plainly enough to have ruined his power for evil, and he knew it, 
consequently he sent Colonel Thomas L. Crittenden in his 
place, who gave Governor Morton the following letter on the 30th : 
"Dear Sir: I have been instructed by the Hon. B.Magoffin, 
Governor of the State of Kentucky, to solicit the cooperation of 
yourself and the Hon. William Dennison, Governor of the State 
of Ohio, in an elTort to bring about a truce between the General 
Government and the seceded States until the meeting of Congress 
in extraordinary session, in the hope that the action of that body 
may point out the way to a peaceful solution of our national 
troubles." The similarity, or rather identity, of this proposition 
of a secret, and soon after an avowed traitor, who abandoned his 
oflice and his State to throw himself into the arms of the rebels, 
with a number of propositions, which were received with marked 
favor by the majority of the Indiana Legislature of 1863, will strike 
the reader very forcibly. Governor Morton replied next day. May 
1st: " I hold that Indiana and Kentucky are but integral parts of 
the Nation, and as such, are subject to the Government of the 
United States, and bound to obey the requisitions of the President, 
issued in pursuance of his constitutional authority; that it is the 
duty of every State government to prohibit, by all means in its 
power, the transportation, within its own limits, of arms, military 
stores and provisions, to any State in open rebellion and hostility 
to the Government of the United States, and to restrain its citi- 
zens from all acts giving aid and comfort to the enemy ; that 



END OF THE CINCINNATI CONVOCATION. 217 

there is no ground in the Constitution midway between the Federal 
Government and a rebellious State, upon whieh another State 
can stand, holding both in check ; and that a State must take its 
stand upon one side or the other ; and I invoke the State of Ken- 
tucky, by all the sacred ties that bind us together, to take her stand 
with Indiana, promptly and efficiently, on the side of the Union. 
The action of the Federal Government in the present contest be- 
ing strictly in accordance with the constitution and laws of the land; 
and, entertaining the views above indicated, I am compelled to de- 
cline the cooperation solicited by you. I take this occasion to 
renew the expression of my earnest desire that Kentucky may 
remain in the Union, and that the intimate political, social and 
commercial relations which exist between her a^id Indiana may 
never be disturbed, but be cemented and strengthened through all 
coming years." Two days after the appointed time, Magofiix 
went to Cincinnati, knowing of course that he would not meet 
either of the loyal Governors, who, seeing that he had failed, and 
having no reason to expect him, were unlikely to wait two days to 
see if he might not change his notion. He had been expressly noti- 
fied to be there "in person," but made his excuse, when he came, 
that " he did not know that he was expected," which was a down- 
right falsehood. 

His conduct in the whole affair of this Cincinnati convocation 
showed that he had no purpose to meet the loyal Governors. When 
notified by Colonel Crittenden, after the meeting in which the 
latter represented him, that the Governors demanded his presence, 
and he could plead ignorance no longer, he resorted to another arti- 
fice. He waited two days, notified nobody of his purpose, and 
then, knowing that the Governors were gone, he went to Cincinnati 
to find, "very much to his" anticipated "disappointment," that 
he had come too late. He said in excuse of his neglect to give 
notice of his coming, that he " had started ofi' without taking time 
to reply." A day or two certainly afforded time for at least an in- 
timation of his coming, which would have detained the Governors 
till he came. But that was just what he did not want, and so he 
sent no intimation. 

He feared to expose himself to the peril of detection in his du- 
plicity ; so he promised to attend, failed to attend, and did attend 
when he had taken abundant care that nobody else should. He 
knew his proposition would be rejected, and that nothing would 



218 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

be lost except his own character, (which could hardly be better dis- 
posed of,) by not attending the conference to urge it, while the 
making the proposition would cover his treasonable schemes a lit- 
tle more deeply or decently, and possibly induce the Union men, 
driven to extremity as they were, to support it for the sake of peace. 
If this was his object, he attained it. The Union men, or a por- 
tion of them, alarmed at their own peril, and doubtful of the 
strength of the Government, in some degree, too, misled by the 
artful management of public journals, which, controlled by rebel 
sympathizers, pretended to support the Government to make their 
hostility more effective, made a sort of compromise between Ma- 
goffin's truce and a straight-forward loyally, which they called 
neutrality. ^ 

K E N TUCK Y " N E U T R A LIT Y . " 

For a month or two, Kentucky "neutrality" was debated through- 
out the country, uniformily denounced or disapproved by loyal men 
and journals, and as uniformly supported by such papers and peo- 
ple as had before, or have since, shown themselves friends of the 
rebellion. What it was, or what it meant, nobody knew. Its ad- 
vocates explained it several times every day from the 1st of May 
to the 20th of June, or thereabout, but explanations explained noth- 
ing, except that Kentucky would not fight for the rebellion, and 
could not fight for the Government, and did not want either party 
to cross her borders, so that she might not have to fight for herself. 
She would be an oasis of peace in a desert of war. The Govern- 
ment was to spare her because she had not seceded, and the rebels 
were to be kind because she u'ould not help the Government. 
In this position, Kentucky was decidedly a more mischievous ob- 
struction than she would have been in open rebellion. Her neutrality 
barricaded all the rebel States of any imjwrtance east of the Mis- 
sissippi river, except Virginia, against any hostile movement from 
the north, and thus shut up what subsequently proved, under 
Grant and Sherman to be the direct road to final victory. 
The rebels might well be content with it, for they would not, and 
did not, hesitate to disregard it whenever thev saw an advantage 
to be gained. The Government only, as Magoffin and its propo- 
sers desired, was placed at a disadvantage by it, for the Govern- 
ment would respect its promise and the sanctity of Kentucky's 
soil. If that promise should be violated, in order to carry forward 
some vital military operation, Magoffin and the secessionist "neu- 



KENTUCKY NEUTRALITY. 219 

trals" would be furnished another pretext for secession, if not an 
excuse for actual resistance and open collision with the Govern- 
ment. If it should not be violated, the rebels who were no party 
to it, and would not regard it if they were, would have the advan- 
tage of operating in Kentucky without oppositon. Basil Duke's 
history of Morgan's cavalry states the inter|)retation that the rebels 
put upon it, and the effect it was intended to have. In the open- 
ing of his third chapter, he says: " The position assumed by Ken- 
tucky at the incc[)tion of the late struggle, and her conduct through- 
out, excited the surprise, and in no small degree, incurred for her 
the dislike of both the contending sections. But while both North 
and South, at some time, doubted her good faith, and complained of 
her action, all such sentiments hai^c been entirely for^otteyi by the latter, 
and have become intensified into bitter and undisguised animosity 
on the part of a large share of the population of the former. The 
reason is patent. It is the same which, during the war, inlluenced 
the Confederates to hope confidently for large assistance from Ken- 
tucky, if once enabled to obtain a foothold upon her territory, and 
caused the Federals, on the other hand, to regard even the loudest 
and most zealous professors of loyalty as secessionists in disguise, 
or at best, Unionists only to save their property. It is the instinc- 
tive feeling that the people of Kentucky, on account of kindred 
blood, common interests, and identity of ideas in all that relates to 
political rights and the objects of political institutions, may be 
supposed likely to sympathize and act with the South." After ex- 
hibiting the causes that produced the devotion to slavery and an- 
tagonism to liberal ideas, which was, and is, so predominant in Ken- 
tucky, General Duke alludes to the John Brown affair, and says: 
"Because of the strong belief that similar attempts would be re- 
peated, and upon a larger scale, and that quite likely Kentucky 
would be selected as a field of operations, it is not surprising that 
the State Guard should have expected an enemy only from the 
North, and that it should have conceived a feeling of antagonism 
for the Northern, and an instinctive sympathy with the Southern peo- 
ple.''^ Neutrality was rightly understood by General Duke. It was 
devised by rebel sympathizers, and its object was the benefit of the 
rebellion, by excluding National forces from Kentucky, and allow- 
ing rebel forces to enter at will. There were doubtless many true 
Union men who gave their adhesion to the project, partly because 
they thought they saw in it a chance to avoid having their homes 



220 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

made the Nation's battlefield, and partly because they did not know 
precisely what they did see in it, and took it on speculation. But 
the true exponents of Kentucky loyalty. Holt, Rousseau, and their 
associates, resisted and denounced it throughout. 

On the 28th of April, the Legislature met in extraordinary ses- 
sion, upon the proclamation of the Governor. His message was 
saturated with disloyalty. Its recommendations were little re- 
garded, though a position of "neutrality " was favored by many as 
a security against the perils of a war raging at their own doors- 
Two or three days afterward Magoffin issued a proclamation re- 
citing the occurrences which induced it, and concluding as follows: 
" Now, therefore, I hereby notify and warn all other States, separate 
or united, especially the United and Confederate States, that I 
solemnly forbid any movement upon Kentucky soil, or occupation 
of any post or place therein, for any purpose whatever, until author- 
ized by invitation or permission of the Legislative or Executive 
authorities." He also forbade " all citizens of Kentucky, whether 
incorporated in the State Guard, or otherwise, to make any hostile 
demonstrations against any of the aforesaid sovereignties," to obey 
orders, and avoid provoking collisions. On the 22d of May, the 
Legislature disavowed the Governor's "neutrality" proclamation 
as a "true exponent of the views of the people." Steps had already 
been taken to raise the State's quota under the President's call, and 
place it under the command of Major Anderson. Two days after- 
ward, the Senate voted that Kentucky would not sever her con- 
nection with the Union, but assumed a position of modified neu- 
trality, which held her from joining the forces of either belligerent, 
but armed her to preserve peace within her own border. 

About the middle of June, General McCELLAN,then in command 
of the Western Department, made a treaty with the Kentucky au- 
thorities, virtually accepting the terms of Magoffin's proclamation, 
binding the Government to allow no troops to enter on Kentucky 
soil, "unless invited to do so by the State authorities ;" and binding 
Kentucky to remain neutral toward the Southern States " as long 
as the United States shall respect her position." A reservation was 
made on the part of the Government that if rebel forces entered the 
State, the national forces might do so, too, after the lapse of a "rea- 
sonable time." But hostile combinations formed in the State to

State authorities," that is Governor Magoffin, whose invitation 
under such circumstances would be much slower in coming than 
was his presence at the Cincinnati conference. The treaty, in 
eflTect, opened Kentucky to the rebels and shut it to the government, 
at least during a "reasonable time," which might easily be time 
enough to work irreparable ruin. Threatened, and in a degree 
overawed by the furious rebel elements all around them, and em- 
barrassed by a "neutrality" that forbade them to assist the gov- 
ernment, or allow the government to relieve them, the Union men 
came to Governor Morton for counsel and aid, and they got both. 

INDIANA AND KENTUCKY. 

Within a few days after the attack on Fort Sumter, Governor 
Morton issued a proclamation convening the Legislature in extra- 
ordinary session, to provide means to enable the State to protect 
herself and discharge her duty to the Nation. In his message, de- 
livered April 25th, 1861, the very day that Magoffin first set his 
" neutrality " trap, he said : " To our sister State of Kentucky we 
turn with hope and affection. She has grown rich and prosperous 
in the Republic; could she do more if she were out of it? It 
would be a sad day that would sever the bond which binds these 
States together, and jjlaces us in separate and hostile nations. I 
appeal to her by the ties of our common kindred and history, by 
our community of interest, by the sacred obligations that bind us 
to maintain the Constitution inviolate, to adhere to the Union, and 
stand fast by the flag in defense of which she has so often shed her 
best blood. I pray to her to examine her past liistory, and see how 
the tide of her prosperity has flowed on unbroken and ever increas- 
ing, until her limits are filled with material wealth, and her people 
are respected, elevated and happy ; and then inquire if all this is not 
the result of that Union she is called upon to break, and of that 
Government she is invited to dishonor and overtlirow. To ask 
Kentucky to secede is to ask her to commit foul dishonor and 
suicide. I trust that the good sense and patriotism of her people 
will not suffer her to be dragged by the current of events, which has 
been cunningly directed for that purpose, into the vortex of dis- 
union ; nor permit her to be artfully inveigled into armed neu- 
trality between the rebellious States and the^Federal Government. 
Such a position v.'ould be anomalous and fatal to the peace and 
perpetuity of the Union. There is no ground in the Constitution 



222 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

midway between a rebellious State and the Federal Government 
upon which she can stand holding both in check, and restraining 
the Govern n:!ent from the enforcement of the laws and the exercise 
of its constituted authority. Such an attitude is at once uncon- 
stitutional and hostile. At a time like this, if she is not for the 
Government, aiding and maintaining it by the observance of all 
her constitutional obligations, she is against it. If the voice of her 
people can be heard, I fear not the result. Secession can only 
triumph, as it has triumphed in other States, by stifling the voice 
of the people, and by the bold usurpation of demagogues and 
traitors of the powers which rightfully belong to them alone." 

On the 9th of May he wrote to General McClellan at Cincin- 
nati, describing the virulence of tlic disloyal feeling in Kentucky, 
especially along the lower portions of the Ohio river, representing 
the defenseless state of our many ilourishing towns exposed to 
rebel attack, and urging preparations for protecting them, so that 
if Kentucky should be dragged out of the Union by the threatening 
elements then so wildly turbulent within her borders, we might at 
least be safe from invasion and the better able to assist her loyal 
citizens. On the 24th of May, he, in conjunction with Governor 
Yatrs of Illinois, Governor Dennison of Ohio, Senator Trumbull 
of Illinois, and General McClellan, addressed a memorial to the 
Government stating, that in their opinion, " The United States 
should, at an early day, take possession, in ft)rce, of prominent 
points in Kentucky, such as Louisville, Covington, Newport, 
Columbus, etc., and the railroads leading from them to the South. 
If Colonel Anderson, or others who are loyal to the Government, 
can raise regiments of loyal men in Kentucky to occupy these 
points in the first instance, and the Government has the means of 
arming them, it would be advisable to have them thus occupied. 
If Kentuckians cannot be found. United States regulars 
would be the next best for the purpose; but in our judg- 
ment they should be occupied at an early day, if it has to be done 
by the volunteer forces from adjoining States. We believe this 
course will save Kentucky to the Union, otherwise that in the end 
the secessionists will control her." 

This earnest representation of men so distinguished for zeal and 
iidelity to the Government, shows how alarming the condilion of 
Kentucky was a month after the war broke out. The proclamation 



LOYAL ASCENDENCY — BAYONETS. 223 

of hev Governor made her virtually an ally of 1he rebellion. IManv 
of her influential men — Bkkckinridoe, Marshall, Buhnhtt, 
Bl'ckner and others — were openly advocating secession. In the 
Io\V(>r branch of the Legislature, parties stood 49 for the Union, to 
43 for seeession. The State Guard, as General Duke says, strongly 
sympaih.ized with the rebellion, and its commander was indefatigable 
in urging sym[)athy into action. The State arms were in its hands. 
The rallying of troops to fill the President's call proceeded languidly 
and promised little. A common interest with the rebel States in the 
institution which ea.used the war, naturally created a predisposition to 
look leniently at their conduct, and previous events had deepened 
and widened this feeling. In spite of the loyal action of the Legisla- 
ture a few days later, it. is by no means certain that, without the sup- 
port of the loyal Governors of the adjoining free States, and more 
directly of Governor Morton, in arming and encouraging the organ- 
ization of forces, andwutching constantly every movementthat might 
so easily imperil the peace of all, the Unionists might not have had a 
terrible struggle to save their State, after the rebel forces had over- 
run the soutliern and western portions and established themselves 
at Bowling Green and Columbus. 

L Y A L A S (J E N D A N C Y. 
But the rebel element was not left to the enjoyment of 
"neutrality," unopposed. The "Border State" convention, in- 
vited by Virginia, in the interests of the reb('llion, to be held at 
Frankfort, on the 20th of May, failed. The proclamation of neu- 
trality was disavowed. Judge Holt, irrefutably crashed it, in a 
masterly argument, and Colonel Prentiss, of Illinois, shortly 
afterwards entered the State to disperse a force of rebels 
forming near Cairo. The election for members of Congress, on 
the ls( of July, resulted in a popular Union majority, in the State, 
of fifty-iive thousand three himdrcd and seventy. Before this, about 
the 1st of June, the gallant and loyal Rousseau, had resolved to 
raise a force of Kentuckians, for the Union. He went to Washing- 
ton and urged his views. He was authorized, by the President, to 
carry out his purpose, and he proceeded with characteristic prompt- 
ness and energy to do it. But still the secession element was so 
strong, and tlie Union men so fearful of strengthening it, and giv- 
ing it pretexts, to excite popular odiun), against the government, 
that, at a meeting held in Louisville, especially to consider what 
should be done, in regard to organizing the proposed force, there

were but two or three, who advocated its <_.ncamjDment within the 
State. Some doubted, whether any force c.t all, should be raised. 
RoussKAU, would not allow any interference with his purpose to 
raise it, but did submit to the judgment of the meeting, as to its 
encampment within, or rather out of the State. The result was, 
that he was compelled to establish his camp and rendezvous at Jef- 
fersonville, in this State, where Governor Morton made him as 
heartily welcome, as his patriotism and firm .ess deserved. He 
named his camp after the loyal Job Holt, and soon rallied a gal- 
lant force, which he called the " Louisville Legion." Subsequently 
he organized the Second Kentucky Cavalry, and a battery of Ar- 
tillery. The solicitude of Governor Morton, to have Kentucky 
made safe, against the secessionists, showed itself, in his interest, 
in Rousseau's enterprise. He gave permission to our citizens to en- 
list in the Kentucky regiments, at Camp "Joe Holt," and allowed 
a company of cavahy (Captain White's), to be organized, in Knox 
county, for the Third Kentucky Cavalry, and a company from 
Dearborn county was given a like permission. He was, at the 
same time, in constant consultation with the Union men, exerting 
himself to secure and distribute arms, to protect our border, to over- 
awe the rebel bands across the river, and to urge energetic action 
in favor of Kentucky, by the Government. To his efforts, in no 
small degree, must be attributed the final determination of the 
President, to establish military camps and recruiting posts, within 
the State, as was done at several important points, about this time. 
Magoffin, fully aware of the encouraging effect, which the 
organization of Kentucky troops for the Union, in or out of the 
State, would have, jjrobably fully informed of the intended 
invasion of the rebel force, which occurred a few days later, 
and utterly ditiant, of the Legislative disavowal of his "neu- 
trality " |)roclamation, on the 19th of August, wrote to the 
President, remonstrating against the formation of loyal military 
camps, and organization of loyal forces in Kentucky, and urging 
their removal. The President replied on the 24th, stating, that 
what he had done, had been done on the solicitation of many Ken- 
tu(;kians, regretting that he could see no wish for the preservation 
of the Union in the Governor's letter, and declining to comply with 
the request. The rebel forces entered Kentucky, and occupied Bowl- 
ing Green on the — day of August, On the 3d of September the 
Legislature met again, and again the Governor's message was foul

with feebly suppressed j^reason. The Legislature was more decid- 
edly, and largely opposed to him, tliaii it was before. On the 11 Ih 
of September, it passed, by a vote of seventy-one to twenty-six, a 
resolution directing the Governor to issue a proclamation, ordering 
the rebel troops to leave the State. Resolutions, reciting the fact 
of the rebel invasion, directing the State troops to be called out to 
repel it, inviting "the United States to give that aid and as.-ist~ 
ance, that protectio'^ against invasion, which is granted to each out; 
of the States by the Constitution," and requesting (^teneral Anju'.k- 
soN, to enter at once upon the active duties of his command, in 
that District, were also passed by a vote of sixty-eight to tweniy- 
six. Kentucky was now fully enlisted on the side of the Clovcrn- 
mcnt. "Neutrality" was an obsolete as well as a mischievous 
doctrine. On the 12th, Bijckner issued his school-boy declamation, 
announcing the treason that nobody had ever doubted, and joined 
the rebels. The Legislature proceeded, by a series of acts, (which 
Magoffin approved, tindiiig himself unable to resist the now aroused 
loyal strength,) to prepare the State, for her full and faithful 
duty to the Government. But the rebel invasion, inciting the most 
violent outrages and open hostility, on the part of the secessionists, 
created wide spread alarm, and the peril increased with the stay of 
the rebel forces. 

Governor Morton, on the 2d of October, 1861, issued a jn-ocla- 
mrition, describing the disordered and dangerous condition of Ken- 
tucky, and the necessity of an immediate increase of the national 
army, and appealing to all classes of citizens, capable of bearing 
arms, and able to leave their homes, "to leave their ordinary pur- 
suits, and enroll themselves in the ranks of the array."* He also 
had all tlie arms, in the arsenal at the Capital, sent to Jeffersonville, 
and distributed among the Home Guards in both States. A por- 
tion of our troops were dispatchfxl to Paducah. Others were 
speedily thrown forward, under Bukm.'s command, to confront 
Brag(; on Green River. Others still were sent towards the south 
east, and the defeat of Zoi.licoffer, at Wild Cat, by the Thirly- 
Third Indiana Regiment, Colonel Joun Coburn, and detachments 
of Ohio and Kentucky troops, followed by the decisive victory of 
Mill Spring, largely shared by Indiana men, was the first reverse of 
the series, that soon after broke through the line of rebel pos1s, 
from the Chesapeake to the Mississippi. A most gallant and suc-

226 ADJUTANT general's REPOKT. 

cessful action was fought by the Thirty-Second Indiana Regiment 
(German), Colonel Willich, in December, with a Texas cavalry 
regiment, on Green River. In every conflict and movement in 
Kentucky, Indiana forces were among the foremost. Their blood 
was among the first to stain the soil, which had sent so many gal- 
lant defenders to protect the infancy of their State. The relaiions 
of Indiana and Kentucky, from the full assumption of a loyal 
attitude by the latter till the close of the war, were but little differ- 
ent from those of other States. An extract from the speech of Dr. 
RoiiBRT J. DiJECKKNRiDGE, delivered in Cincinnati, in May, 1862, 
may fitly conclude this portion of this narrative: " It was the 
proximity of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, the fidelity of the people 
of the latter States, upon which these men depended — of your peo- 
ple and the other two Stales, that saved Kentucky. The question 
was flatly asked by General Boyle of the army, then a private 
citizen of Kentucky: " Will you have twelve thousand men ready 
the moment we ask for them ? " It was flatly asked of the Govern- 
ors of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and the reply was that they 
would sustain them; and I suppose I may add that Mr. Lincoln 
was telegraphed, asking whether he would assist them, and he said 
" with my whole power." Mr. Boyle telegraphed to Governor 
Dennison for ten thousand men at call. He replied "yon can have 
them." He also asked for ten thousand men from Indiana and 
Illinois, and the rej)ly was the same. Tins ivas the saltation of 
Kentucky.'''' 

The subsequent events of the war which made Indiana, at times, 
conspicuous as a guardian and ally of Kentucky, need nothing 
more than an allusion here, as they have elsewhere been related at 
length. The invasion of General Kirby Smith in August, 1862, 
besides bringing our State most prominently forward in defence of 
her almost helpless sister State, was the occasion of Magof- 
fin's resignation. Disgusted with the duty of seeing the loyal ac- 
tion of Kentucky, while he could oppose no resistance to it officially, 
he surrendered his ofl^ice, and went to his friei'ds. The battle of 
Richmond on the oOrh of August — in which six raw Indiana regi- 
ments, with an Ohio and one Kentucky regiment, and detachments 
of cavalry and artillery, under Generals Cruft and Manson, of In- 
diana, opposed nearly three times their force of rebel veterans with 
such courage and persistence as to defeat, in the end, the main ob- 
ject of the invasion — was an event of especial interest to Indiana. 



MORE TROOPS SENT TO KENTUCKY. 227 

Nearly one thousand of her sons were killed or wonnded, and two 
thousand captured and paroled. The regiments which were com- 
posed of men who but little more than a week before had been 
farmers and mechanics at home, lost every other man of their en- 
tire number. Such a record of heroic resistance by recruits is as 
rare as it is honorable. The delay of the rebel march to the Ohio 
river, which this battle produced, combined with the amazing rapid- 
ity with which freshly organized regiments from Indiana and Ohio, 
and armies of hardy backwoodsmen, with their "squirrel rifles," 
poured into Cincinnati, saved that city from the pillage which was 
one of the objects of the raid. 

Previous to this invasion, but doubtless a portion of the same 
general movement, the guerrilla bands along the Ohio began to 
assume a bold front, and to threaten our river towns. On the 18th 
of July they made a raid into the town of Newburg, Warrick 
county, committed robberies, eXcited great alarm, and brought upon 
themselves a swift visitation of Hoosier wrath. Governor Morton. 
called for troops for thirty days, and was so promptly supplied that 
in a little more than two days, with the cordial approval of Geaeral 
Boyle, he threw an overwhelming force into Henderson, Kentucky,, 
and swept that terribly infested region clean. 

Morgan's raid in July, 1863, with the preliminary adventure of 
HiNEs' band of horse thieves, was the next event that illustrated 
the spirit of Indiana in her relation to Kentucky.. The news of 
Morgan's advance brought, as did every alarm, an appeal from 
General Boyle to Governor Morton for help, and of course help 
was sent. AH the Indiana troops in the government service were 
dispatched to Kentucky at once, and kept there, while Morgan was 
riding a race with the wrath of his enemies in our own borders. 
Governor Morton had no force to oppose to him, and was com- 
pelled to supply the place of the men who were defending Ken- 
tucky with Home Guards and the sudden levies brought by patri- 
otic indignation, in two days, from every quarter of the State. 
They did their work, however. Morgan began retreating almost 
as soon as he landed, and never halted till his force was annihilated 
in Ohio. 

In May, 1864, Morgan again invaded Kentucky with a force of 
three or four thousand men, through Pound Gap. General Bur- 
bridge immediately telegraphed to Governor Morton for four regi- 
ments. " One regiment leaves to-night, another to-morrow, and 



228 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

two more next day," was the response. Two weeks afterwards 
there came an urgent appeal from Louisville: "The city is in 
danger. We want four or five thousand men." A regiment was 
sent immediately. The same day General Hobson telegraphed 
from Covington for "any troops you can send me to Louisville or 
Frankfort." Kentucky had then taken every man of Indiana's 
troops that the Governor had. He called out the militia of several 
counties, and placed it in the best position for service either at 
home or across the Ohio. The P'orty- Third, re-enlisled veterans, 
arriving at Indianapolis on the short furlough given to re-enlisted 
men, at once volunteered to go to Kentucky, and were promptly 
sent to the relief of Governor Bramlette, besieged in Frankfort. 
A portion of the Legion was sent to guard the Louisville and Nash- 
ville Railroad. By every effort, and at every point, Indiana threw 
herself forward to protect Kentucky. The result of the raid, and 
the terrible defeat of Morgan, are familiar to all. 

Within two weeks after Morgan's last raid, Colonel Adam R. 
JonNsoN and Colonel Seipert, with a force of seven to twelve hun- 
dred men, appeared in the vicinity of Henderson, Kentucky, and 
menaced the lower portion of our border. Revelations made du- 
ring the "Treason Trials," at Indianapolis, by men concerned in the 
conspiracy, indicated that Johnson's niovement, as well as that of 
Morgan, was in cooperation with an insurrection intended to be 
general throughout the Northwest. His plundering steamboats, 
conscriptions, and other outrages, with his expulsion by Indiana 
troops under Generals Hovey and Hughes, have been already fully 
related. * 

These events, in which Indiana was, more prominently than 
any other State, brought forward as the dependence of Kentucky 
against invasion and domestic dangers, will suffice to make good 
the declaration at the commencement of this sketch, that though 
the debt created by the courageous and bloody defence of our in- 
fancy may not have been paid, its obligations have at least been 
acknowledged by the effort to pay it. 



INTERNAL STATE TROUBLES. 

POLITICAL 1) I S T U R li A N C E S . 
That a feeling of disloyalty rankled in the hearts of many for 
years, previous to the war, the history of the times well attests. 



THE GOVERNMENT FORCED TO FIGHT. 2'2d 

This gradually ripened, and finally culminated in attempted seces- 
sion, and resulted in actual civil war. If the secession movement 
had ended with a mere declaration of independence — in a procla- 
mation of a separate nationality, thus leaving the Government of 
the United States no alternative but to submit to a division of its 
territory and power or make war upon the recusant States to avert 
that calamity — it would be ditTicult to conjecture what aspect the 
secession movement would have assumed, or what its result would 
have been. Although the great mass of loyal men were agreed 
that the Union should be preserved, at all hazards — even the hazard 
of making war — there was no inconsiderable number of able ad- 
herents of the Government who doubted if that result could be se- 
cured by a w^ar in which the Government must assume the offen- 
sive, strike the first blow, and prosecute it throughout as the mili- 
tary, though not political, aggressor. A very much larger number 
of o|>ponents of the Government not only doubted the practica- 
bilily of coercion, but the constitutionality of any interference 
with secession whatever. And, underlying the more demonstra- 
tive feelings of all classes, was the strong, though almost uncon- 
scious indisposition — the growth of nearly a half a century of 
peace at home — to unsettle all business, and break up all old 
habits, by undertaking so unaccustomed and costly an enterprise as 
war. Before an attack, which should make war a necessity of self- 
defense, the inert resistance of such a feeling as this would natural- 
ly disappear at once, but it could not have been otherwise than a 
serious obstacle to taking the initiative in a war where fighting was 
but one of several alternatives. Thus there were three elements of 
opposition to the policy of making war upon the seceded States to 
compel their adhesion, or jiunish their treason: 1st. Loyal feeling 
which doubted the result. 2d. Disloyal feeling which denounced 
this, as it had always done every other, form of resistance to what- 
ever the South chose to do. 8d. A universal feeling of dislike to 
deranging all established relations and objects by beginning a new 
and dangerous work. With three such elements, and the almost 
certain union of all the slave States against it, the problem of a 
war of coercion was intricate and perilous. 

Happily for the cause of humanity and liberal government, the 
rebels themselves solved this dangerous problem for us by begin- 
ning the war, and thus forcing the Government to fight in defense 
of its own life, less to compel the obedience of those who repudi- 



230 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

ated it than to preserve itself for those who adhered to it. Two of 
the three elements of danger in the gre.it problem of war were thus 
swept away at a blow. " Loyal distrust" of a coercive war could 
not hesitate to fight in a defensive war. "Dislike of beginning a 
war" had no excuse for inaction when war was forced upon it. 
No element was left to affect the new relations created by the 
attack upon Fort Sumter but that of "disloyal feeling," which, in 
the future, as in the past, was ready to follow the South from Fort 
Sumter to "Armageddon," from the first battle against the Union, 
to the last battle against the Almighty. The eifect of this dis- 
loyal feeling was two-fold. It contributed greatly to produce the 
war, and it contributed still more to protract it. 

The influence of disloyal Northern feeling in producing the war. — 
In the examination of this point, we are met at the outset by 
this significant question : If the rebels desired only independence 
and Union among themselves, why should they have abandoned 
all the advantages which the condition of public sentiment in the 
North, as just set forth, gave them to etlect it, and begin a war 
upon the Government? If, as they afterwards so unanimously 
and persistently asserted, "they wanted only to be alone," why did 
they not let the Government alone? If they had been content to 
rest quietly upon the act of separation, and wait for the Govern- 
ment to take the first step in meeting the difficulty which they thus 
presented, they would have had, as already indicated, some great 
advantages, which, by any other course, they must inevitably Idse. 
Justice to their intelligence forbids us to doubt that they saw these 
advantages. They could not but see that, with a large minority 
of the North, openly favoring their pretensions, with a smaller 
minority opposing, yet hesitating as to the means of resisting 
them, and with the natural dislike which existed against proceed- 
ing to hostilities when no hostile demonstrations were made by the 
malcontents of the South, they could pursue no wiser policy than 
that of " masterly inactivity." Why did they not pursue it ? Why 
did they give up ail the advantages of a defensive attitude to take 
an offensive one? Why did their Secretary of War telegraph 
from Charleston to Montgomery after the capture of Fort Sumter, 
that "in thirty days their flag should float over Washington?" 
Washington was no part of their territory, and it was, not only a 
part of the territory of the Government they had abandoned, but 
its capital and the seat of its power. Its capture would indicate, 



DISLOYAL FEELING AT THE NORTH. 231 

and go far towards achieving, the overthrow of that power. It 
would place in their hands at least the "husk" of the old Govern- 
ment, which their new one could fill, and thus claim to be the 
Government of the Nation. To assume an offensive attitude when 
a defensive one was so much safer ; to begin war when peace 
offered so many more advantages to the purpose they professed ; 
to declare that they meant to follow up the first hostile blow by 
the conquest of territory to which they had no claim, and by forc- 
ing the old Government from its capital, leaves no conclusion 
possible, to any candid mind, but that they aimed to overthrow our 
Government and establish their own upon its ruins. Whatever, 
therefore, may have been the first purpose of secession, its j)urposc 
in making war was unquestionably to drive out the old Govern- 
ment and take its place over all, or as many as it desired, of the 
adhering States. 

To the conception of such a purpose sometiiing more was nec- 
essary than the knowledge of its own power. It is incredible that 
one-third, and that the poorest in resources, intelligence and vital 
strength, of a nation, should entertain a purpose to conquer the other 
two-thirds by force. The rebels, therefore, relied upon a greater 
power than their own in their attempt to displace the old Govern- 
ment by a new confederacy having only for its distinctive corner- 
stone the institution of human slavery. That power was the spirit 
of dissension, of faction, of treason in the North. There could have 
been no other. Foreign aid in a war of conquest they could not 
have expected. For, however willing foreign nations may have 
been, and afterwards showed themselves to be, to aid in dividing 
the nation, they could have no more reason to desire an Union 
under a slave than a free government. It was Union they dreaded, — 
not a free Union. Foreign aid in effecting a division might have 
been looked for, but not foreign aid in displacing one Union by 
another. The rebel hope of help must tlierefore have looked to 
this side of the Atlantic. And look wiiere we may, we can see on 
this side but one field, though an am{)le one, in which it could find 
either root or nutriment. That was the disloyal feeling at the 
North. It was extensive enough, and malignant enough, to furnish 
all the encouragement that men, so long accustomed to political 
domination, and so likely to magnify their own power, as the rebel 
leaders were, would need. It controlled all the so-called " loyal 
slave States" to the degree of rendering their adhesion to the Gov- 



232 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

ernmcnt. a qualified prefereiico over its rebel rival rather than an 
earnest and absolute devotion. In Maryland it was strong enough 
to have dragged her out of the Union, if she had not been held 
back' by military grasp. In Missouri its maehinations were sup- 
ported by a fatal strength only paralyzed by the promptitude and 
energy of Lyon and the fidelity of her German citizens. In Ken- 
tucky it was not strong enough to overcome her adhesion to the 
Government, but it was strong enough to force her for a while into 
the ])osition of a "neutral." In Delaware its strength was ineffect- 
ive only because it v^^as isolated. Throughout the free States the 
same feeling prevailed, less determined and less dangerous it may 
be, but hardly less encouraging to rebel hopes. Of its extent we 
may judge from the exhibition made of it when the futile conduct 
and disastrous result of McCli;li,an's campaign relieved it of the 
grasp with which the popular outburst of 1861 had strangled it. 
It showed itself strong enough to take Indiana out of loyal hands 
in 1862, and leave her nothing but the iron will and unfailing sa- 
gacity of her Governor to prevent her own soil being made the 
scene of endless and ruinous local wars. It was strong enough to 
endanger the loyal control of Congress. It was wide-spread enough 
to cripple the army by encouragement of desertion, and to provide 
protection for deserteis in every township. It organized secret 
societies in the interest of the rebellion, of which the members were 
sworn to resist the just demands of t!ie Government, and obstruct 
the prosecution of the war. It murdered draft officers, and de- 
stroyed enrollment papers. It distributed arms for treasonable uses, 
and |jlotted the destruction of Government arsenals and store 
houses. It conspired to release rebel prisoners and arm them for a 
raid upon our own soil. It created riots in nearly every county of 
the Northwest, and in the East it excited the most inhuman and 
dastardly mob ever known iti this country. This spirit, so general 
and so dangerous, was not engiMidered by the war. It showed itself 
by a hearty and encouraging approval of the Montgomery Consti- 
tution on its first publication. It showed itself again in fierce 
denunciations of the Government on the announcement of the 
attack on Fort Sumter. That fatal event was made the text for a 
bitter and general assault upon "abolitionism," not upon secession- 
ism. The righteous wrath of loyal men for awhile awed it into

and the failures of men whom its own influence had weakened os-

depraved, encouraged it to sliowitsef again within a year, and what 
the exhibition was has been stated. 

The rebels \V(n-e as well aware of the existence of 1his disloyal 
element in the M)rth as were onr own people. Probably they knew 
even better its character, if not its extent. And with this knowl- 
edge it ceases to be a matter of astonishment that they should have 
begun the war, and begun it for the conquest of the Government- 
Tliey had reason enough to believe that if once in possession of the 
capital and the "shell" of the Government, the disloyal feeling- 
would be strong enough to enable them to remain. That, without 
the encouragement ottered by this feeling, the rebels would have 
remained quiet, improving all the advantages of their defensive 
attitude, and, if war must come, have left the odium and the injury 
of beginning it to the Government, can hardly be doubted now. In 
the history that future times will write, it will not be doubted atalL 
As the war was inevitable, as it has swept slavery out of existence 
and decided the great national controversy by the final arbitrament 
of the sword, it may have been well for the cause of freedom and 
good government that the rebels were encouraged by any means to 
begin it. In spite of itself disloyalty did a good work. An over- 
ruling Providence, as it has so often done before, brought good out 
of evil. Let disloyalty then be credited with being a blind and 
unconscious instrument of God for the success of just those ends it 
desired to defeat. 

EPFECT IN niOTR ACTING THE WAR. 

The disloyal spirit that in a greater or less degree caused the ivary 
contributed even more directhj and effectually to protract it. In the 
pursuit of this purpose it produced or aggravated those internal. dis- 
turbances which form so prominent a feature of the history of our 
State during the war, and the (exhibition of the character and effects 
of which forms the object of this portion of the RejDort. One who 
judges the etTorts of the nation to put down the rebellion, and the 
difficulties it encountered in the work, oidy from the strength it dis- 
played in the field, and from the array of rebellious force and en- 
thusiasm opposed to it, can have but an inadequate idea of the 
real nature of the conflict. Our peril lay less in the armies of the 
rebels than in the machinations of their Northern friends. If there 
had been nothing to encounter but the forces of Lek, Johnson,, 
Br.\gg and Beauregard, the war would have been speedily and

well ended. It may well be doubted if hostilities in any formida- 
ble shape could have extended beyond the glorious circle of victo- 
ries that girdled the land in the first days of July, 1863, and crowned 
"The Fourth" with later memories as sacred as those that had 
gathered about it for eighty-seven years. To an enemy who had 
no hope of help in his own strength and resources, the prospect of 
the rebellion, after the surrender of Vicksburg and the defeat at 
Gettysburg, was desperate. With its territory cut in two; with 
large armies of well-tried troops and faithful officers menacing all 
assailable points, and penetrating into the vital regions of the "Con- 
federacy;" with its entire coast blockaded, and all trade cut off, or 
carried on fitfully and at the imminent peril of destruction; with 
credit utterly ruined and a currency to which the severest penalties 
coold give only a compulsory circulation; with its largest Western 
army cut to pieces in successive disastrous battles and its fragments 
surrendered to the conqueror; with its Eastern arniy irretrievably 
defeated; with its scattered posts and forces crushed in a score of 
battles, as if some fatality had selected the day the rebellion had so 
dishonored as the day of fearful recompense, and with nothing to 
hope for outside of its own territory and its own strength, the re- 
bellion would have died before the year was out. But the rebels 
had a better hope than their armies or Generals could give them. 
In the very moment of their freshest humiliation their friends in the 
largest cities of the Union were arming to resist the laws, and en- 
couraged, or at least not rebuked or controled, by sympathizing 
State authorities, they for days set all the power of good govern- 
ment at defiance. At the same time friends of the rebellion in this 
State, and through all the North-west, were rapidly organizing and 
arming secret associations to defeat the effort of the Govermiient 
to obtain recruits, to overthrow State governments, to create local 
conflicts, and to release rebel prisoners and convert them into rebel 
armies in our midst. The rebel leaders knew this, and they knew 
what was even more certain to encourage them to continue the 
war — that a large portion of the people in this State and some 
others — an apparent popular majority — denounced the war as 
"cruel," "inhuman" and "unnecessary," and the Government as 
"tyrannical" and "usurping," for exercising the powers required to 
prosecute it, and that they demanded the cessation of hostilities 
and peace on any terms. It would be difficult to imagine a people 
so pusillanimous as to be willing to abandon a conflict when so 



OBJECTS SOUGHT BY THE DISLOYAL ELEMENT. 235 

large, apparently almost a controlling, portion of some of the vic- 
torious States were eager to give them all tliey asked. Whatever 
else they may have been, the rebels were neither cowardly nor pusil- 
lanimous. They saw hope, not in the war, but in the political as- 
cendency of their friends, and they fought on, not to win the fight, 
but to aid the eflorts of those who made bold to assure them of 
success, let the fight go as it might. Therefore, they fought hope- 
fully till the final campaigns of Grant and Sherman buried their 
political and military encouragements together. Then the rebel- 
lion fell as it would have fallen long before, but for the hopes held 
out by the disloyal spirit of the North. The war was made peril- 
ous by traitors, and not by enemies. It was protracted by eilbrts 
at home, not by disasters in the field. Half of our enormous debt, 
half of our fearful bloodshed and misery, are chargeable directly 
and solely to the disloyal spirit in the North. The obstructions 
created by it to effective action, its persistent embarrassments, its 
systematic discouragements, its malignant slanders, its sleepless, 
tireless, and unscrupulous baseness, seeking evil every where and 
by every means, must be taken into the account whenever a just 
judgment is to be formed of the etTorts required to suppress the re- 
bellion. 

The main object sought by the disloyal element of the North, 
and especially of Indiana, was the weakening of our armies by en- 
couraging desertion, discouraging, or forcibly resisting recruiting, 
and by crippling the efforts of the State authorities to send rein- 
forcements to our victorious generals in the field. This object was 
pursued in several ways, each of which will properly embrace a 
class of the distubances and difficulties to which this Report relates. 

1. By legislative action: which was most formidable — for, being 
most direct, and operating under the forms of law, it presented the 
semblance of a claim upon law-abiding citizens, and thereby more 
surely tended to secure their acqiuesence. Happily for the State, 
such action, though attempted, was never consummated. 

2. By expressions of popular feeling' in the resolutions of local 
meetings and general conventions, and in the utterances of speak- 
ers and newspapers, adverse to the war and denunciatory of the 
Government. 

3. By the dissemination of disloyal feeling among the soldiers, 
through the letters of relatives and friends misrepresenting and 



236 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

condeming the war, urging desertion, and promising protection to 
deserters. 

4. By organizations^ formed in one or more townships of every 
county, for the purpose of protecting deserters, resisting the con- 
scription laws of the Government, and obstructing the enlistment 
or enrollment of recruits. 

5. Bij a secret and swornOrder, best known as the "Sons of Lib- 
erty," organized with the expressed purpose of assisting the rebel- 
lion by resisting the necessary demands of the Government, and 
prepared, by the arming and drilling of its members, to resort to 
active hostilities in the prosecution of its infamous designs. 

The malignity and determination of the spirit which sought l^y 
such means the overthrow of our armies and our Government, can 
be appreciated only by keeping in mind the condition of popular 
feeling against which it had to work, and through which it had to 
penetrate to become publicly active and visible. The coimnence- 
ment of the war against the Government, proclaimed by the attack 
on Fort Sumter, raised throughout the whole North a blaze of in- 
dignation so intense and universal that it consumed all party ani- 
mosities, and for a time seemed to fuse all parties into one com- 
mon mass of patriotic zeal and resolution. It exhibited itself in 
conspicuous demonstrations of contempt or detestation for all who 
refused or hesitated to declare their adhesion to the Government. 
It forced the conductors of obnoxious newspapers to hoist the na- 
tional flag upon their offices, and to take the oath of allegiance. 
It pursued those who had made themselves odious by disparaging 
the Government, or were suspected of disaffection, even to their 
houses, to force them to declare their support of the cause of the 
country. It threatened violence in many cases. In some, it actu- 
ally resorted to violence. And, more clearly exhibiting its strength 
than all other indications, it poured out tens of thousands of vol- 
unteers to fill the President's demand for an army to defend the 
Government. The struggle in every neighborhood was, not to 
avoid going into the ranks, but to avoid staying at home. There 
was no rivalry of parties, but an universal emulation, which seem- 
ed to impel every man, whatever his party, to enlist before his 
neighbor. Old men, excluded by law from service, made false de- 
clarations of their ages. Boys, too young, both by law and devel- 
ment, managed, by artifice, to enroll themselves. Recruiting quar- 
ters swarmed with eager crowds. The recruiting drum was followed 



POLITICAL CONSIDERATIONS DISREGARDED. 237 

by long i^iroct'ssions of men and boys, and even women. No 
one t^eeined to lliink of his party, or only to think of it to strength- 
en his military zeal. No one paraded his Republicanism as his 
motive for enlistment. No one spoke of his Democracy except to 
give emphasis to his determination to light. No one can tell now, 
for no one took note then, of the pro|)ortion of different parties 
in the ranks. This grand display of pairiolism, unsurpassed, proba- 
bly une()ualed, in the history of the world, only needed official re- 
cognition and sympathy to be complete. And this it received fully 
and proai|)tly. A mere partizan would have used it only to make 
capital or converts for his party. A selfisli man would have per- 
verted it to his own profit. A feeble man would have sunk under 
the weiglit of the duty ii laid upon him, and done nothing. Even an 
honest and patriotic man, without the sagacity and breadth of 
com|)rehension to see the force and promise of so great a movement, 
might have checked it by hesitating action, by inadequate measures 
or injudicious exhibitions of party feeling which would have 
sooner or later recalled forgotten party divisions. But the Governor 
of Indiana was neither a feeble man, nor a selfish man, nor a big- 
oted partizan, nor a man of narrow intellect or irresolute character. 
With the promptitude and energy that marked his wdiole adminis- 
tration, he made his own action the embodiment of the spontane- 
ous patriotism of the people. He selected his military advisers in- 
differently from either party, or, if there was a difference, it was in 
favor of his past political opponents. He appointed his agents for 
the purchase of arms with a like disregard of the political chances 
of the future. He commissioned field officers as his own knowl- 
edge, or the recommendations of candid friends, directed him — in 
many cases not knowing, iij all cases not caring, what their party 
connections had been. In several instances, he selected men who 
had mad(; themselves conspicuous by their hostility to him for im- 
portant commands, not to secure valuable services or to conciliate 
lorraidable opposition — tor the men were nothing, or worse — but 
solely to give the most unequivocal proof possible of his determi- 
nation to forget party, and all its sympathies, that he might con- 
summate the great work of the people. He deemed it more im- 
portant that the people should see that he gave himself up wholly 
to their unselfish movement, and thus establish confidence in his 
disinterestedness, than that he should refuse commissions to a few 
trifling men whose incompetence or disaffection would speedily va- 



238 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

cate their commands for better men. His complete disregard of 
party provoked no little censure from some of his friends, who 
either could not see or could not appreciate a purpose that rose 
higher than party advantages. He thus gave official form and ef- 
fective strength to popular feeling. And it was against this feel- 
ing, so wonderfully exhibited, so completely consolidated in the 
military policy of the State, that the disloyal element had to work. 
Another iniUience cooperated with the policy of the Governor to 
strengthen loyal feeling in Indiana. The first campaign in West- 
ern Virginia — the only one which either produced or promised a 
result during the first three months of the war — was carried on 
largely by Indiana troops, and planned and conducted by an Indi- 
ana General, and its progress to complete victory was impeded by 
no defeat or disaster. Though General McClellan was in com- 
mand of the Department, he w'as not present in the field, and had 
little or nothing to do with the campaign till General Morris had 
brought it too near a successful close to be defeated. The credit 
of the first success of the war was thus felt to be largely shared by 
Indiana, and State pride came to the help of patriotism to crush 
disloyalty out of sight. 

But against all these influences the disloyal element maintained a 
secret strength that soon showed itself in formidable activity. 
The success in Western Virginia was soon forgotten in the dis- 
aster at Bull Run, in the blockade of Washington, in the 
aimless skirmishes and frequent defeats, and in the long and un- 
accountable idleness of the Army of the Potomac. Disloyalty 
grew in courage during this period of feebleness and inaction. 
The Government Departments, for a generation filled or controlled 
by the South, were infested with rebel sympathizers who furnished 
the enemy information of every movement or purpose of our forces. 
We j:)lanned nothing that was not revealed within the day, and 
attempted nothing that was not fully prepared for and thwarted. 
Our Generals were in many cases recent companions or school- 
fellows of rebels, and when they were not seduced by social 
memories and influences into betraying their trust, were too often 
easily softened into forgetting the duties it imposed. The Presi- 
dent was new to his place and to the agencies he must use in the 
Nation's exigency. He could not know, and consequently could 
not remove, the spies that swarmed about him. Constant rebel 
successes, produced by such causes, inspired confidence in final

success. When so much had been done, could not th(> icbcls rea- 
sonably look for more? Di.^loyalty began to speak out in sneers^ 
and donbts and disparaging suggestions. Growing bolder, it con- 
demned the war and arraigned the constitutionality of the military 
measures of the Government. It abused Mr. Lincoln. It charged 
corrnption wherever it could create distrust or disaffection. It be- 
gan to hold meetings and declare resolutions. It sent private as- 
surances to relatives and friends in the army that the war was a 
failure, and that desertion was a duty. It was already active and 
wide-spread, when the disastrous result of McClellan's Richmond 
campaign, following a year of inaction and imbecility, made it 
open, vehement and dangerous. The arrests of notorious traitors 
and spies were denounced as '-illegal" and "tyrannical." County 
and local meetings were held in many parts of the State, which 
declared the war an "abolition crusade," a "cruel" and "unneces- 
sary war against the rights of the South ;" the President as a 
"tyrant" and " usurper" for prosecuting it, and the soldiers " min- 
ions," "hirlings" and "Lincoln dogs" for fighting it. Associa- 
tions to resist obnoxious laws were formed. Deserters were pro- 
tected from arrest. Secret treasonable societies were organized, 
and had, before the beginning of the year 1863, acquired strength 
enough to make a formidable party and threaten the adhesion of 
the State to the National Government. They possessed power 
sufficient to control the Legislature in that year. Dissatisfaction, 
even among the most loyal, with the feeble conduct of tiie war, 
its growing burthens, and the seemingly growing distance of a 
favorable termination, had added to the disloyal element, in oppo- 
sition to the National and State adminstrations, a large amount of 
strength which had not the least sympathy with it. And thus it 
was that Disloyalty, deeming itself the impelling motive of all dis- 
satisfaction and opposition, took the foremost place in the Legisla- 
ture, and dictated the policy of the session. 

LEGISLATIVE OBSTACLES TO THE W A l; . 

The anti-war resolutions of local meetings, the declarations of 
the more indiscreet members of disloyal societies, " that they meant 
to take the military power out of the hands of the Governor," and 
the constant denunciation by disloyal newspapers, of every act by 
which the National Government had sought to protect itself, 
against treason in its own house, indicated very plainly, what the 



ADJUTANT GENERAL S REPOHT. 

course of the disloyal element of the Legislature would be. It is 
but just to say, that though the course attempted, failed of its ob- 
ject, it vehemently struggled to fulfill its promise. 

Rcjectioti of Governor Mortonh Message. — The first exhibition 
<of the spirit of this element, was made in connection with the 
t'ommmiieation of the Governor'^s Message. That document* was 
as important a one as was ever prepared by any state executive for 
a Legislature. It contained an account of the action of the State 
Authorities, irorn the commencement of the war, a period of nearly 
two years; it suggested necessary measures for the better care of 
our soldier's families ; it recommended important stt'ps, the value 
of which was fully demonstrated the following summer, for im]:»rov- 
inc: the efficiencv of the State Militia ; it exhibited the civil, as well 
as military condition of the State, as needing prompt and judicious 
legislation, it was just vvhat the Legislature needed, and should 
iiave been anxious to obtain. On the first day of the session, (Jan- 
uary 8r,h, 1863,) both branches were organized, and the " General 
Assembly," fully and formally established. Committees were 
appoiiited, by both branches, to notify the Governor of the fact, 
and to learn when he would deliver his message. He replied that 
liC would deliver it on Friday afternoon, (the day following the 
organization of both Houses, as had been the custom) at any hour 
the Legir^l.iture might designate. At two o'clock t!ie Senate was 
invited to repair to the hall of the House to hear it. A 
reply from the President was returned soon after, stating that 
there was no cjuorum in the Senate, and that body could not attend. 
A committee of tv\'o, was directly appointed by the House, to 
notify the Governor of the condition of the Senate, the resolution 
adding quite cavalierly, that "the House was unable to say when 
it could hear the message." Thus warned of the probability, that 
the delivery of his message, in the usual way, might be delayed for 
days, t)r deferred altogether, the Governor followed the example of 
the President of the United States, and of the Governors of very 
many of the States, and sent it in printed form, by the proper 
officer, at the usual time, to each body separately. This action 
filled every requirement both of law and courtesy. The accidental 
absence of a quorum in the Senate, no more affected the existence 
of the General Assembly, than a temporary adjournment. It could 
be lawfully and formally communicated with by the Governor, in 

^Appendix Doc. No. 114. 



REJECTION OF THE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE. 241 

any mode, that any other officer or citizen could communicate with 
it. The requirement of the Constitution, that the Governor t^hould 
"give information touching the condition of the State to the 
General Assembly," no more compelled the personal attendance 
of the Governor, or tht? presence of both branches at the same 
time, at the delivery of the message, than the provision that the 
people may apply " to the General Assembly for redress of griev- 
ances" requires that evrry petition shall be presented :uid read l)y 
its authors in joint convention. Yet controlled by the disloyal 
spirit which had grown so strong and defiant, and anxious to 
signalize its hostility to the Governor and its contempt for the 
policy he had pursueil with distinguished success, the House of 
Representatives determined, by a vote of 61 to 32, that tlie mes- 
sage should " not be received," and should be " returned to await 
the I'urtlier action of the General Assembly." The pretexts (for 
there were no reasons) for this action were, that the absence of a 
({uorum from the Senate, made the attendance of that body and a 
joint convention impossible; and that the Constitution required the 
message to be delivered to the " General Assembly," and there was 
no (Tcneral Assembly in session at the time; in other words, unless 
both houses are in session at the same time, there is no General 
Assembly, and neitlier body can act. This construction was simj)ly 
nonsensical, because the Governor can and does send special mes- 
sages to either house, or to both houses, frequently during a session, 
and no thought is entertained of a joint convention to receive 
them. There is no law or reason demanding a jt)int convention, 
(»r simultaneous session of both houses, to receive a message at the 
lieginning of a session, more than to receive one at the middle or 
end of it. The Constitution does not require both houses to be in 
session at the same time, to constitute the General Assembly, or 
to make its branches capable of action. If it did, the General As- 
sembly would die, or its branches become powerless, with every 
adjournment of either branch that did not exactly correspond with 
the adjourmnent of the other. So unwarranted a rejection of a 
document, so important as a Governor's Message, and in this case 
of such peculiar importance, is sufHcient to show the spirit that 
animated the opponents of the war. Committees were subse- 
quently appointed by both Houses, to learn when the Governor 
would deliver the message, in the usual way. He refused to stui 
tify himself by admitting, by a personal delivery in joint conven- 
Vol. 1.— 17. 



242 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

tioii, that the first was illegal. He notified the House Committee 
that lie had done his duly, and should do nothing further in the 
matter. As there was no quorum in the Senate, on the first 
delivery, he sent a second copy to that bociy, by the Committee, on 
the 21st of January. But it was never read in either house. The 
House paid no attention to it, except to treat its author with af« 
much contumely as the rules of deliberative bodies would allow. 
On the 14th of January, a resolution was introduced into the 
House, declaring that Governor Morton '-had neglected to deliver 
his annual Message to the General Assembly " — a deliberate false- 
hood — and, "therefore, that the House adopt the exalted and 
patriotic sentiments contained in the message, lately delivered to 
the Legislature of New York, by his excellency Horatio Sey- 
mour." Against this scandalous proceeding, a number of mem- 
bers, belonging to the majority, not entirely corrupted or controlled 
by the disloyal element, joined wilh the friends of the Governor, 
and defeated it. But the next day a joint resolution was 
adopted in the House, by a vote of 52 to 3-"), tendering to Gov- 
ernor Seymour the thanks of the General Assembly of Indiana 
for his message, and this insult to Governor Morton, for it was no 
less and intended to be nothing else, was concurred in by the Senate. 
In eflect the opposition to the war, having rejected Governor Mor- 
ton's message, recognized that of another man in its stead, but in 
a less oflensive manner than that proposed by the resolution of the 
day before. The Governor had distinguished himself by his energy 
and success in supporting the war, and the sympathizers with the 
rebellion saw no more satisfactory way to express their hostility to 
the war, than to contemn its most ardent and efficient advocate. 

Arrests of Rebel Sympathizers. — The disloyal spirit which on the 
second day of the session kicked the Governor's message out of the 
House, showed itself on the first day in the Senate by refusing to 
accept a resolution declaring that "the suppression of the rebellion, 
and the restoration and preservation of the Union of all the States, 
is the great and paramount object of loyal citizens, and that the 
members of tliis Legislature will vote for no man for office who is 
not in favor of a vigorous pi'osecution of the war, and is not 
unalterably opposed to the severance of any State or States from 
the Union." The vote against this simple declaration of loyalty 
was 27 to 22. In the House on the same day a similar declaration 
was refused and buried hopelessly by being referred to the Com- 



INVESTIGATION OF ARBITRARY ARRESTS. 248 

niittee on Federal Relations, by a vote of 58 to 3S. Yet immedi- 
ately afterwards a resolution, laying the basis for an attack upon 
the Government for arresting traitors and spies, was adopted. On 
the day following, a preamble and resolution were introduced de- 
claring that ''many citizens of this State had been arrested by the 
authority of the General Government, and confined in military- 
prisons and camps without public charges being preferred against 
tliem, and without any opportunity being allowed them to learn or 
disprove the charges made or alleged against them, and refused a 
trial, there being no obstruction to the constitutional authority of 
the Government in this State," and that "the General Assembly 
denounce all such arrests as acts of tyranny, as flagrant violations 
of the rights of the jieople, and demand that such arrests shall 
hereafter cease." The arrests in all cases were of men who had 
either been detected in treasonable correspondence with the rebels, 
or whose sympathy with the rebellion and defiance of the Govern- 
ment were notorious. Yet these denunciations of efforts which 
were as purely for self-preservation, and as palpably forced upon 
the Government, as any act ever was, were adopted, under the 
previous question, by a vote of 58 to 40. Not content with two 
cxhibitious of sympathy with spies and traitors on two successive 
days, the ado]jtion of this resolution was immediately followed by 
the introduction of a series, referring to the same matter, and made 
still more false and otlensive. It stated that certain rights were 
guaranteed by the Constitution ; that "we have witnessed within 
the past twenty months the violation of all these provisions, by 
means alike arbitrary, violent, insulting and degrading to a degree 
unknown to any government on earth, except those avowedly and 
notoriously wicked, cruel and despotic;'' that "the representatives 
of the people in their legislative capacity deem it their first duty 
to ascertain the facts connected with the criminal usurpations and 
wrongs which have been practiced by political arrests, in order to 
give those who have unlawfully made them, or caused them to be 
made, the prominence to a position of lasting infamy their conduct 
merits," and concluded with the appointment of a committee of 
seven to examine into the alleged arrests, and to report a bill " ade- 
quate to protect the people" from them. This was adopted by a 
vote of 60 to 26. The committee thus appointed spent a large 
amount of money, examined such witnesses as suited their purpose 
to create hostility to the Government and to the war, and made a

report, of which five thousand copies were pul)lish6d, which, for the 
credit of their intelligence and self-respect, the signers, who did not 
assist in writing it, should labor assiduously to destroy, Two or 
three specimens of its style will suffice to show its character. On 
page 11, — "The United States Marshal, when appealed to, /o/tii- 
himself more warmly in the Jioivitig- cloak of his oivn luxurij, and 
with a view to shift the responsibility, he w^ags his head ominously, 
and points these outraged citizens to the modern Caligula and iiis 
willing satraps, who now inhabit the ancient metropolis of republican 
liberty.^'' The officers making arrests are denounced (page 8) 
as " ambitious adventurers, strutting their brief hour on the stage, 
trjithout identity and without responsibility." The efforts of Con- 
gress against the rebellion are thus described (page 21): "When 
the nation was bleeding at every pore, when one million of our 
brothers were engaged in mortal strife, when hoof of fire and sword of 
llame were scourging the land and making our rivers run red and 
thick with blood, these remorseless plunderers and robbers were en- 
gaged in schemes of self-aggrandizement, and in devising measures 
to increase our distractions in the States not in rebellion." Rhetoric 
like this is worthy of the cause of disloyalty in which it was em- 
ployed. 

On the same day that the two denunciations of the arrests of 
mischievous rebel-helpers were adopted, a resolution was oifered in 
the Senate, declaring that "loyal men do not endorse manifestly 
despotic acts of the Government, but hold it to be the duty of every 
citizen of the United States to support the constituted authorities, 
and in this period of rebellion we will cheerfully submit to any acts 
of the General and State Governments, the object of ivhich is the 
maintenance of the integrity of the Union, and the supremacy of the 
law, though the act should work detriment to the individual, and 
that as citizens we should be as ready to perform our duty to our 
country, as we are to assert our rights and privileges." This was 
sent away to die in the Committee on Federal Relations. The de- 
nunciatory resolutions were adopted at once. 

On Friday, the 16th, a resolution was oifered in the House set- 
ting forth the declaration of Jkffhrsox Davis that "the West was 
preparing to secede from the East;" and stating that the Grand 
.Jury of the United States Court* had discovered "the existence of 
a secret political organization held together by horrible and wicked

oaths, and having for its purpose the assistance and encouragement 
of the Southern Confederacy, and the formation of a North-western 
Confederacy with its ultimate annexation to 1h(; Southern Con- 
federacy;" and a])pointing a Committee of five to investigate 
the matter, and to report what measures should be taken "to pro- 
tect the Government from the unlawi'ul acts of these treasonable 
associations." Tiic same House had a few days before voted to 
investigate and provide against the repetition of the arrests of rebel 
sympathizers and open enemies of the Government, but it refused 
to inveslig-ate the existence and character of secret societies sworn 
to assist the rebels, by a vote of o7 to 35. On the 20th, another 
resolution to investigate these societies was oflered and after a de- 
bate, extending over two days, was killed by a vote of o3 to 3(j. 
This was final. The House never disturbed the treasonable socie- 
ties by a word. 

On the 10th of February, a joint resolution was introduced in 
the House "protesting against the passage of any bill by Congress 
indemnifying the President or those acting under him from liability 
to answer for arbitrary arrests," and directing our Congressmen to 
oppose such bills. This protest had, and could have, no possible 
effect in holding the President or his olficers to liability for arrests 
in tliis State, but it cotild in two w'ays show the rebels the disposi- 
tion of their friends: First. As a public declaration that the Presi- 
dent should be made to pay damages to every rebel and sympa- 
thizer whom he should arrest. Second. JBy encouraging juries, com- 
posed of members of treasonable Orders, to give verdicts for such 
damages, so that it tnight be published to the world that, in Indi- 
ana, the President or his ofiicers had been punished in damages for 
arresting notorious supporters and friends of the rebellion. The 
knowledge of the existence of such a spirit in the North, in strength 
enough to the control Legislatures of the several States was far 
more precious to the rebels than any mere military assistance could 
have been. 

Peace Propositions. — After rejecting the GJovernor's message, de- 
nouncing the arrests of rebel sympathizers and spies, and preparing 
the way for the State laws to obstruct such action in future, and tims 
bring the State into collision with the General Government, the 
disloyal element proceeded to exhibit its spirit and designs still more 
unequivocally. On Tuesday, the 13th day of January, (the session 
began on the 8th,) an elaborate political essay, in the form of a pre- 
amble and series of resolutions, was introduced in the Senate, 



246 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

which with many counter-balancing declarations, and many sugges- 
tions of unconstitutional and indefensible action on the part of the 
Government in prosecuting the war, declared it the duty of the 
Legislature to sustain the Union and the State and National Gov. 
ernments, but concluded with the unequivocal avowal, which was 
the animating spirit and aim of all that preceded it, that the Sen- 
ate was in favor of "compromise and concession," and that "the 
party in possession of the Government had adopted the war policy, 
though the experiment had been attended with but little advan- 
tage." The astounding falsehood that the Government "had 
adopted the war policy," as if it had been left to choose, and was 
the assailant instead of the assailed, coupled with the declaration 
that "concessions" should be made to those who had, without j)rov- 
ication, made war upon it, shows conclusively the feelings of the 
disloyal element of the Legislature. 

On the following day, the 14th, a long preamble and series of 
resolutions were offered in the House, stating that the Government 
" had falsified it pledges," and " under the tyrant's plea of military 
necessity had usurped powers unwarranted by the Constitution 
and unsanctioned by the law, destroying all safeguards of freedom 
and independence ;" that the President's Emancipation Proclama- 
tion was not permitted to be discussed, as the suspension of 
the writ of habeas corpus was proclaimed purposely to prevent such 
discussion, "thereby crippling free speech and discussion upon his 
abolition policy while he might wield the largest army the world 
ever saw for the purpose of accomplishing his hellish scheme of 
emancipation without regard to State laws, constitutions or re- 
served rights;" and that "the late elections in Illinois, Indiana, 
Ohio, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York, by the triumph 
of conservatism over fanaticism, have demonstrated that the people 
utterly repudiate and condemn the abolition policy of the Admin- 
istration, and regard his (the President's) unprecedented usurpa- 
tions of power as a giant stride towards military despotism," and 
concluding with the resolution, that, "while the President persists 
in his abolition policy in the conduct of the war," etc., " Indiana 
ivill not voluntarily contribute another 7nan or another dollar, to be 
used for such wicked, inhuman and unholy purposes." Only perspi- 
cacity sharpened by rebel sympathies, could see that setting free 
the slaves of men warring against the Government — thus making 
persons, as God made them, of what had before been property — 



NOT ANOTHER MAN, NOR ANOTHER DOLLAR. 247 

was an "unholy or itihunian" act; and as the emancipation 
measure was a deadly blow at the rebellion, and operated only in 
rebel States, not in loyal slave States, opposition to it could have 
had no motive but that of sympathy with the rebellion. An elFort 
to "table" this proclamation of hope to the rebels was defeated. 

On the next day, the 15th, resohitions were oflered declaring 
that "the creation of the State of West Virginia was a breach of 
the Constitution of Virginia," (as if any obligation rested upon the 
Goverimient to regard the Constitution of a State in active and 
implacable hostility to it, after the State itself had repudiated that 
constitution and adopted another) — "and of the Nation, and be- 
trays the deliberate purpose of the Administration and the ma- 
jority in Congress" — both supporting the war — "to set aside the 
Constitution and establish upon the common ruins of the Union 
and the sovereignty of the States a revolutionary government, 
monarchical and military in its character, and in which all the great 
guarantees of civil liberty will be known no more forever;" that a 
national convention of all the States should be held at Louisville, 
Kentucky, to adjust our natioiial diiliculties; and that there should 
be "a cessation of hostilities" to allow such a convention to be 
held. Of course the supporters of these resolutions knew, just as 
well as did the rebels tliemselves, that "a cessation of hostilities" 
would be used, and could be offered, for no other purpose than to 
renew strength for the war against the Government. A motion to 
lay them on the table was defeated by a vote of Gl to 30. 

On the same day, in the same body, another resolution was 
offered instructing our Senators and requesting our Representatives 
in Congress, to take measures to suspend hostilities, and to call a 
a National Convention. 

On the same day, in the same House, as stated in the " Brevier 
Reports," a joint resolution was introduced "condemning the war, 
but not the rebellion^'' which, instead of being peremptorily and in- 
dignantly rejected, was sent to the Committee on Federal Rela- 
tions. 

On the day following, the 16th, a petition of sundry citizens of 
Sullivan county was presented in the same body, and referred — 
not spurned, as any loyal body would have spurned it — urging 
that " not one man nor one dollar^ be voted to prosecute t/iis iyifernal 
abolition warT 

O'u the same day, in the same House, a series of resolutions 



248 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

was offered, declaring that " he who is not for his country, and hi? 
wliole country, under all circumstances, i^ against his country;" 
that " any word, act, or deed, which is calculated to create divi- 
sions and dissensions in the North, and please the rebels, should be 
condemned and discouraged by every patriot in the land ;" and 
that "the House heartily sanctions and indorses the i)atriotic sen- 
timents of the last speech made by Hon. Stephen A. Dougj,as, at 
Chicago, Illinois."' The House, instead of adopting so plain a 
declaration of fidelity to the Government as this, referred it to the 
Committee on Federal Relations, and refused to indorse the senti- 
ments of Mr. Douglas. 

On tlic sam(^ day a joint resolution was introduced declaring that 
"the State of Massachusetts, with a j)opulation only about 120,000 
smaller than that of Indiana, had been required to furnish only 60,- 
000 soldiers, while Indiana had furnished 102,700;" that "the draff 
had been rigidly and mercilessly enforced in Indiana, while it was 
not yet completed in Massachusetts;" and demanding of Congress 
an inquiry into the causes of "this di.-crimination in favor of Mas- 
sachusetts." There could be no other motive for this declaration 
and demand than a purpose to excite hostility to Massachusetts, as 
a State favored at our expense, and to the General Government, as 
willing to show such favoritism — for the statements were monstrous 
and notorious falsehoods. The draft had not been "mercilessly" 
enforced here, as everybody luicw, for there were only 17,890 men 
drafted in the State during the whole war, and up to January, 1863, 
only «:},001 had been drafted — the State's quota having been made 
up of volunteers almost entirely.* Massachusetts, as shown by a 
detailed statement, made by Governor iVNDREvv, had furnished, in 
proportion, as many men as Indiana, allowing for the large number 
of her citizens who were engaged in the Navy, serving the country 
quite as efficiently as they could in the army. On the second read- 
ing, attempts were made to inquire into the truth of the state- 
ments as to the action of Massachusetts, and to strike out the 
false declaration as to the "merciless enforcement of the draft" 
here, but all were instantly voted down. A mc^re conspicuous ex- 
hibition of mean spite and malignant disloyalty could not have

been made, and can not be found in the records of any nation on 
the globe. On the 7th of February, the resolution failed for want 
of a constitntional majority, the vote standing forty-two for to 
eigliteen against it. 

On the same day, a joint resolution, with a preamble, was 
introduced in the same body, declaring that "those invested with 
authority were unable to compose the ditferences and avert the 
disasters of the country," and, therefore, a National Convention 
should be called, to be held in Louisville, on the 4th of July 
following, "to take into consideration such measures as may 
best promote peace among the [people and union among the States": 
that the President "should cause hostilities To cease from and after 
the tirst INIonday of April until the first Monday in August ntxt, if 
compatible with public safety;" that the voters of each legislative 
district should, on the first Monday of April, elect delegates to 
meet at Indianapolis on the first '1 uesday of May ; and that such 
convention of State delegates should elect delegates to the Nation- 
al Convention, 

On Monday, the 19th, a preamble and resolutions w(>re oflerecJ 
in the House, declaring it to be "manifest that peace; could never 
be restored by the sword, and that a continuance of the war, under 
the present policy of the Administration, must eventuate in the 
utter ruin and decay of our free, renowned and mighty Nation," 
and that "the seceded States should be received back into the Union 
on a liberol compromise, granting them ungrudgingly all their con- 
stitutioMal rights and guarantees as equal, independent and sov- 
ereign States, with such additional safeguards as may be necessary 
to protect them in those rights." Giving "additional guarantees" 
to States which had thrown away what they already had, and were 
fighting to destroy all that the loyal States had, will strike most 
men of average brains as being about as "liberal" as the most 
cowardly or Treacherous man anywhere could ask. 

On the same day, in the same body, a resolution was introduced 
against the policy pursued "in this unnatural civil war," that is, 
"unnatural" on the part of the Government, as '■'■repugnant to the 
Constitution, and in open violation of the rights of the several 
States," and declaring that the House was "opposed to the prose- 
cution of any war, the objects of which are to interfere with 
domestic relations," that is, with slavery. 

On the 27th a series of preambles and resolutions was introduced 
in the Senate declaring that "the present civil war " was forced upon 



250 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

the country "by the wicked and fanatical factions of the North and 
South" — thus laying no niore blame upon those who began the 
war than upon those who did not; — that "it was filling the land 
with widows and orphans" — "bankrupting the Government and 
oppressing the people with taxation beyond their ability to bear" — 
•' destroying the productive industry of the laboring man " — "filling 
the Northern section with a vagabond and servile race to compete 
with, or prey upon, the industry of the white man" — "imposing 
unecjual burdens and commercial restrictions upon different portions 
of the North, sapping the foundations of religion, morality and pub- 
lic virtue; corrupting rulers; destroying personal liberty under the 
tyrant's plea of necessity; and obliterating from the hearts of the 
people the spirit of nationality and brotherhood ;" that " war is no 
remedy for disunion;" and that " under the present and recent pol- 
icy of the Cabinet at Washington arms can never restore the 
Union." Therefore, in view of these declarations, it was resolved 
that " we are opposed to a war for the libration of slaves, and, 
while that policy is maintained by the Administration, the highest 
dictates of patriotism impel us to withhold from it our support." 
("Patriotism" that would leave the Government unsupported, that 
rebellion might destroy it, rather than see four millions of slaves 
set free, and given the right to their own bodies, families and labor, 
is a product unknown to any age or country but this.) It was also 
resolved, that "no Union can be maintained until fanaticism on the 
negro question, North and South, is eradicated;" that "the people 
of the North must yield up the heresy of Abolition or the blessings 
of the Union;" "Abolitionism and the Union are incompatible;" 
" Abolitionism is moral treason ;" " No patriot can be an Aboli- 
tionist." The North is tuld what it must jneld to preserve the 
Union, but nothing' is said of what the South must yield. "Abolition- 
ism is moral treason," but nothing is said of the treason of capturing 
mints, arsenals and forts, confiscating Northern debts, or demand- 
ing the extension of slavery into territory made forever free by sol- 
cnni compact. The Union, we are left to infer, is incompatible 
with Northern fanaticism, but entirely compatible with Southern 
fanaticism. Northern extremes of sentiment are "moral treason," 
but Southern extremes are merely injudicious outbursts of patriotic 
feeling. It was also resolved " that the interests of the white race, 
as well as the black, demand that the condition and locality of the 
latter should not be interfered with, and a war, or legislation, or 



CONGRESS SHOULD BE SUPERSEDED. 251 

Presidential proclamation, 1o free tl)e negroes are acts of flagrant vio- 
lation of the Constitution, and a wicked disregard of the jieople's 
voice, and of the best interests of the country, and should be con- 
stitutionally resisted by an outrag(>d people." It was also resolved 
that "the accursed system of arrests'' — for aiding the rebellion — 
'•shall cease in the State,'' and the Legislature declares the "unal- 
terable determiation " to maintain the rights invaded by the sus- 
pension of the writ of habeas corpus, and by the consequent inter- 
ference with rebel spies and symj)ailiizers, " at every hazard of blood 
and treasure." It was iuially resolved, tliat our Congressmen be 
urged and instructed, ••First, To procure an armistice for at least 
six months for the ])urpose of testing the probability of a perma- 
uf^iit peace on the basis of the Union ; Second, To pass a law 
calling a conventio)i of all the States to consider the state of the 
country and to devise soirie plan of settlement by which the Uiiion 
shall be restored.'" The "six month's armistice" would enable the 
rebels to recover from their losses, and prepare for a more vigorous 
war, while it would keej) up the ex])enses without result and de- 
j)ress the spirit of the North. It was just the thing the rebels 
wanted. 

On the 29th, in the Senate, a fresh encouragement of the rebels 
was introduced, which declared, "that it was the imperative duty o[ 
the Chief Executive of the Nation to proclaim, and, we therefore, 
for and in the name of the people of Indiana demand, the estab- 
lishment as soon as practicable of an armistice, to the end that a 
convention of all the States may be held for the adjustment of our 
national dilliculties ;'' also, "that Congress should labor to provide 
for such a convention," and in the event that Congress fails to pro- 
vide for such a convention, "we hereby, in the name of the people 
of Indiana, invite each and every State in the Federal Union, in- 
cluding the so-called Confederate States, to meet delegates from 
the State of Indiana in convention at Nashville, Tennes-ee, on the 
lirst Monday, being the first day of June, 1863, each State to 
send as many delegates as shall ccpial the number of Senators and 
Representatives in Congress;" that, for the purpose of carrying out 
these objects, there should be elected on the first Monday of April, 
thirteen delegates from the State at large to represent Indiana in 
that convention, unless Congress should provide for such a conven- 
tion, in which case the delegates should represent the State in the 
latter convention ; and that if Congress should not provide for a 



252 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

convention the delegates should be paid five dollars per day, and 
five cents per mile of travel, from the State Treasury. Tlie only 
feature that distinguishes this, from the other propositions for a 
National Convention is, that it provides for the inauguration of a 
government, in derogation and defiance of the Constitutional Gov- 
ernment; takes the attairs of the nation out of the hands of Con- 
gress and the President and puts them into the hands of a body 
unknown to any law, and thus overturns the Constitution and the 
Government. 

The spirit in which the more determined adherents of the rebel 
cause, acted may be judged from some cf the declarations made in 
the debate on February 10ih,upon a proposition of the loyal mem- 
beis to create a committee to adjust ditlerences and secure harmo- 
nious aetign on two points: First. The powers and duties of th<' 
Governor. Second. The prosecution of the war, and the status of 
Indiana as connected therewith. One member (see page lo3 of 
Brevier Reports) said: ''This proposition came from the wrong 
quarter. It reminded hini of the fable of the rooster and the 
horses. The rooster said, ' Gentlemen, don't let us tread on each 
other's toes.' //' tJie minority don't want the majority to tread on 
their toes, let them get out of the way.''' Another said, the j)roi)osi- 
tion was idle, '•'•because it was very loell understood by the majority 
what they would do arid the time ivhen it would be done. The Com- 
mittee would tend to delay action." Another said, " The resolu- 
tion was the hight of tom-fooh'ry. The views of both parties tverc 
known. They could never agree on any important question." That 
is, the disloyal element would never agree as to the loyal status of 
Indiana in the war, as to the prosecution of the war, or as to the 
powers of the Governor, whose oiriee as Military Comm?inder-in- 
Chief it had already been repeatedly declared should be taken from 
him, for these were the only questions the Committee were to con- 
sider. But the resolute rebel sympathizers could not carry all their 
associates with them and the proposition was adopted. 

On the 27th of February resolutions were oflered in the House 
of R(>presentatives declaring that the session was nearly over and 
that prompt action must be taken to meet the demand for a cessa- 
tion of hostilities, and, therefore, the Committee on Federal Rela- 
tions were instructed to report, on the 4th of March following, a 
bill or joint resolution for a National Convention ; for prompt action 
on the part of Congress in behalf of such a convention ; " against 



ACTION IN RE(}ARD TO SOLDIERS. 253 

the prosecution of the war for another (hiy, or another hour, while 
the President adhereres to liis abolition policy;" and that "IiKliana 
will not willingly furnish another man or another dollar for the l"nr- 
iher prosecution of this wicked and unnatm-al war, (if the Admin- 
istration is determined to further wage it in spite of the wishes of 
the people,) unless it be explicitly understood that it shall be waged 
xolcljf for the preservation of the Union, with all the rights, dignity 
and equality of the States unimpaired." 

Action in Regard to Soldiers. — On the J6th of January, a joint 
resolution was introduced proposing to amend the Constitution of 
the State so as to allow soldiers in the field to vote. On the 14th of 
February, the Judiciary Committee, to which the proposition had 
l)een referred, reported that it was "inexpedient," and the soldiers 
were disfranchised, during the time of their perilous service, by a 
vote of 42 to 33. 

On the 19th of January, a joint resolution was introduced in the 
House stating that "the Government had failed to pay the soldiers 
the small pittance which they have so richly earned, while the officers 
over tliem, as a general thing, have been promptly paid, and thus 
enabled to indulge in all manner of luxurij, while the jsoor, hcl/dess 
privates are compelled to sutler prications and wanl^'' and that "Gov- 
• •rnor Morton and Pr(>sident Lincoln had seemingly lost all sym- 
pathy and regard for white men in the ranks, who are fighting tiie 
batlles of their country, and give their entire sympathy to the 
negroes of the South, as is evidenced by the fact that they regard 
with apparent indifference their great neglect and many com- 
plaints," and demanding prompt payment for the men, and a "ces- 
sation of the discrepancy in favor of the oliiccrs." Like the Mas- 
sachusetts resolutions, these statements were manufactured purpose- 
ly and obviously to excite the hatred of the soldiers against their 
officers, and to prejudice them against the Government. More im- 
jmdent falsehoods were never published or uttered. Portions of 
the army were not well paid, simply becavise j)aymasters frequently 
could not safely get to the more advanced positions. But in such 
cases, officers and men were alike unpaid, and the fact was well 
known to every member of the Legislature and to the author of 
these resolutions. 

On the 10th of February, a joint resolution, previously introduced 
in the Senate, opposing the arming of negroes against the rebels, 
was reported back from the Committee on Federal Relations, with 



254 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

a recommendation that it pass. It declared tliat "th(^ people of the 
State had over and over again decided against any interference 
with slavery." A motion was made to amend this statement, as it 
now applied to a state of war, and the people of Indiana had nev- 
er decided that, in case of war, slavery should not be interfered 
with. This motion was voted down by twenty-live to nineteen, 
thus making emphatic the judgment of the supporters of the reso- 
lution that even in ivar, and when employed to the utmost against 
the Government and the Union, slavery was to be sacred from any 
int(>rference by those it \\'as used to d.'\-itroy. If any attitude of equal 
servility to an institution so intamous as slavery, can be found else- 
where in all history — making slavery so sacred that even when em- 
ployed in war against us, and when all other property would be 
taken without hesitation, it must be preserved — it must be when 
more of the world's history is discovered than anybody has yet 
learned. A motion to add to the resolution a declaration in favor 
of a '-vigorous prosecution of the war' was amended by the condi- 
tion that "///e President, shalt immediate/// vnthdrav: /lis Emancipa- 
tion Proc/amation.''' That is, the disloyal (>lement of the Senate 
would not sustain a vigorous prosecution of the war unless the 
President would leave slavery sate, sacred, and uninjured, let it do 
what it might aginst the Union. This scandalous amendment, and 
complete nullitication of the dcclararion in favor of the war, was 
adopted by twenty-four to eigtitren. But all this, as devotedly subser- 
vient to the rebellion as it could be, was not enough. A pro[)osition 
was made to amend the joint resolution by declaring: 1st. "That 
notwithstanding there may be ditferenceis of opinion in regard to 
the policy of some of the war measures of the Administration, yet 
the State of Indiana, without distinction of party, still unwaver- 
ing in her devotion to the National Goverimient, again reiterates 
her p/edges of fidelity to t/ie common canse, and w^ill with all her 
energies, with all her power, and. all her menm^, press steadi/y for- 
tvard in t/ie war to put doivn t/ic rebel/ion, and restore the Union 
and the Constitution, with the distinct understanding that the same 
is not prosecuted for any sectional, political or anti-slavery purpose." 
2d. "That our Congressmen be requested to vote for all laws hav- 
ing the effect to /ig/iten t/ie tabor, protect t/ie /lea/t/i, and save t/ie lives 
of iv/dte soldiers, by employing acclimated persons of African de- 
scent wherever their services can be made useful and safe, having 
proper regard to their capacity, previous relation to the whites, and 



soldiers' resolutions spurned. 255 

the antipathirs of race, condition and color, in fratniiig snch laws." 
And thiy, because it declared for a steady prosecution of the war 
and suppression of — not compromise with — the rebellion, and be- 
cause it demanded the employment of negroes where their services 
could save the lives or health of wl)itc soldiers, was voted down by 

24 to 20. 

On the 13th, a second attempt was made to amend the resolu- 
tion against employing negroes in the army, by declaring — 1st. 
" Tliat the ncLro troops should be employed in departments sepa- 
rate from whites;" and 2d. " That no rank higher than Captaiii 
should be conferred upon persons of African descent, nor should 
such persons, in any instance, be placed in command over white 
men." But even this exceedingly morderate approval of the em- 
ployment of negro soldiers was too much for tliose who objected tc» 
any means of resistance to the rebellion, and it was voted down by 

25 to 20. 

On the 12th of February, the disloyal clement exhibited its feel- 
ings toward the soldiers in another and still more offensive form. 
Tile news of the efforts already spoken of, to bring about an armis- 
tice, and a convention to end the war by compromise with enemies? 
who had made the war without provocation, had reached the 
army. The soldiers knew, as v/ell as did the legislators who made 
the propositions, that the effect of an armistice would be to giv<; 
the rebels the chance to strengthen themselves, and to renew tlie 
war with greater advantages, and they held meetings, and, as clti- 
zeu^ of the State as well as soldiers, denounced such efforts. The 
resolutions of the Sixth, Fifteenth, Seventeenth, Twenty-Second, 
Twenty-Ninth, Thirty-Second, Thirty-Fourth, Thirty-Seventh, 
Thirty-Ninth, Fortieth, Forty-Second, Forty-Fourth, Fifty-First, 
Fifty-Seventh, Fifty-Eighth, Seventy-Second, Seventy-Third. 
Seventy-Fifth, Seventy-Ninth, Eighty-Second, Eighty-Sixth, and 
One Hundred and First regiments, were presented in the Senate 
on the 12th.* They were immediately assailed by the disloyal 
element as having been concocted at home and sent to the army, 
but were finally referred to the Committee on Federal Relations. 
The resolutions from the Sixty-Sixth and Ninety-Third regiments,! 
at Corinth, were treated still more harshly. It was moved "to re- 
ject them ;" " to reject the whole batch ;" " they were an insult to 

*Apppn(1ix, Docs. Nos. 147 and 148.

all who favored an armistice."' The memorial, with the resolu- 
tions, iC7rt5 rejected by a vote of 28 to 18, as disrespectful, because 
it denounced as "traitors" those who proposed to give the rebels, 
by an armistice, four, five, or six months for recuperation. The 
petition of disloyal men of Sullivan county, which denounced the 
war as an "infernal abolition war," and begged "that not one man 
nor one dollar be voted to prosecute it," was deemed respectful, 
and kindly referred to acommittee„ 

On the 19th of February, in the House of Representatives, a 
preamble, with resolutions, was introduced, reciting that a meeting 
of the Twenty-Seventh Indiana Regiment had been held a short 
time before near Stratford Court House, Virginia, in which it had 
been declared that two propositions for an armistice and a national 
convention, already set forth in this report, both introduced in the 
Senate, one on the 27th and the other on the 29th of January, 
"were nothing less than treason," and oflering their services to the 
Governor to enforce the law against such conduct. The resolu- 
tions of the House denounced those of the regiment as " introduc- 
ing party divisions in their most offensive forms;" "fomenting in- 
subordination and tending to produce civil war at home;" and 
requested information of the Governor whether he approved 
them, and whether similar offers had been made by others. As a 
censure on the action of the regiment, the House resolutions were 
adopted by a vote of 50 to 29. 

On the 28th of February, memorials were presented in the Sen- 
ate from the Nineteenth and Twentieth Indiana Regiments, pro- 
testing against the attempt, then in progress in the Legislature, to 
take from the Governor all military power and subject hiiri to a 
council of men opposed to the war; also protesting against an 
armistice, and denouncing the encouragement of desertion. They 
were severely censured as insults to the Legislature and the off- 
spring of minds " prejudiced against the members." "Prejudice" 
there doubtless was, of exactly that kind to which the counsel for a 
felon alluded in his defense when he said "He could not expect a 
favorable verdict, for the evidence had prejudiced the jury against 
his client." 

Effect of these Efforts. — Little direct effect was produced by 
any of these disloyal efforts in the Legislature, for none were 
completed into formal legislative acts. It is doubtful indeed if any 
expectation was seriously entertained of accomplishing a direct 



REBEL ENCOURAGEMENT OF NORTHERN DISLOYALTY. 2t7 

result. The real object, and that which tr«.s' accomplished, lay 
aside from the obvious and natural eflect of such measures It 
was the assurance to the rebels of sympathy in the North, which 
could be depended upon to obstruct the loyal action of State 
governments; to decry and denounce every effort to prosecute tl;e 
war; to weaken the arn^y by exciting enmity between oflicers and 
privates; to alarm the people by fears of the hopelessness of crush- 
ing the rebellion by force; and to encourage secret organizations for 
resisting the laws in support of the w^ar. This was accomplished. 
There were some thirty or forty propositions, in one form or an- 
other, denouncing tlse war, or the measures of the Government to 
prosecute it, or to protect itself from treason at home, made during 
the session ; and not one, favoring the w^ar, condemning the rebel- 
lion or sympathizing with the (Jovernment, came from any mem- 
ber of the disloyal faction. Those that were offered by loyal mem- 
bers were voted down, or thrown aside. This action was full of 
consolation and encouragement t'o the rebels at Richmond. They 
saw even more ho|)e in it th;m they did in the '• situation " at Yicks- 
burg, or in the East, hopeful as they seemed at that time, the 
" winter of our discontent," as it might with sadly just emphasis 
be called. The Richmond Whig" of February 11th, about two 
weeks after the introduction of the two leading propositions lor an 
armistice and national convention, those in the Senate of the 27th 
and 29th of January, said of them : " We copy elsewhere an 
article, from an Indianap(^lis paper, with two sets of resolutions, 
which have been laid before the Indiai;a Legislature. The paper 
from which we copy (the Journal) is violently Republican. It pro- 
nounces the resolutions an ordinance of secession. They have very 
much that flavor. They are intensely bitter against the war and 
the objects for which it is waged, and urge an armistice of six 
months, and a national convention to settle all difiiculties. In one 
set it is proposed, if the convention is not held, that Indiana shall 
act for herself. 'J'he furious denunciation of the resolutions by the 
Republican papers, constitutes their best recommendation, and 
argues a redeeming' spirit among the people of the North West. 
We of the Gonfederale States should do lahat is possible to encourage 
the growth and ascendency of that spirit.^' 

In D.'csrnber, just before the Legislature met (but when the 
'Spirit which would control it, was fully understood, all over ihe 

country,) Jefferson Davis, said in a speech at Jackson, Missis 
Vol. 1.— 18.

III the Rebel Congress, the infornjation of Ihe disloyal atlilude of 
--0 large a portion of the people of Indiana and the other North 
Western States, was welcomed as better news than any victory in 
the field. Hf.nry S. Footk, rebel Senator from Tennessee, intro- 
duced resolutions of congratulation upon the phrasing prospect thus 
afforded the rebellion, declaring that the rebel Congress " sym- 
pathized most kindhj, luith those ivho have brouglit about this change 
in the Northy They also kindly held out oilers of peace to such 
States as shonld separate from New England and unite with tiie 
South. 

Expressions of pleasure ;it the sympathy cxhibiied by our Leg- 
islatiu-e, and by others, and in other modes, with the rcbelli(,)n, were 
common in rebel papers and upon re'oel tongues at this tinje, and 
the extracts quoted here arc but samples of hundreds. The confi- 
dence derived from such assurances, that sooner or later, by politi- 
cal if not military successes, the rebellion would be completed, was 
one of the strongest motives to protract the war. Even when the 
storm of disaster that sweot over the rebel States on the 4th of 
July, 1863, killed all hope of military success, it left green' and 
growing the hope of the final ascendency of those wiio had so fre- 
quently and heartily encouraged them to persevere. They had lit- | 
tic to expect from their armies, but they had much to expect from i 
a majority in Congress, disaFccted and disloyal like the majority ji 
in our Legislature. And such a majority vuight be secured. It i! 
was not impossible. It was not even improbable; for at the same '''. 
time the disloyal clement obtained the command of our Legisla- < 
ture, it came within a very few votes of obtaining command of 5 
Congress. If we can conceive of such a majority in Congress as that .;} 
which in our Legislature declared that " if the slaves of rebels were | 
interfered with they would not vote a dollar or a man to i)rosecute i} 
the war;" which respectfully referred to a commilte(> a petition of J 
civilians declaring the war '-an infernal abolition war;" which con- 
temptuously rejected a resolution of soldiers declaring it treason to j 
offer an armistice to the rebels; and which attempted to take the 



MILITARY POWER oF THE OOVERNOU ATTACKED. 259 

military i)o\ver out of the hands of the Governor and put itto in the 
liands of men, a majority of whom were sworn members of a seeret 
treasonable society, we may easily conceive of a state of afTairs which 
in a week would have terminated in the usurpation of military 
power by a rebel sympathizing committee of Congress, and in the 
surrender to the rebels of our Government and the substitution of 
theirs, with New England excluded. Therefore, the rebels had a 
better hope behind tlian that which Meade scotched at Gettysburg, 
and Grant crushed at Vicksburg. That hope they owed to the 
spirit which appeared and spoke in no equivocal language in the 
action of the Indiana Legislature of 18G8, which has just been set 
forth. Two years of our struggle, and of our monstrous expenses, 
are due to that action, and to that of other bodies similarly inspired. 
If there had been no disloyal faction, and no sympathizing language 
in the North in and before the Summer of 1863; if all had been 
resolute to crush the rebellion; no sane mind can conceive it possi- 
ble that the war would have continued till the fall. That it did con- 
tinue is the act as much of the rebel sympathizers of the Indiana 
Legislature and its adherents and affiliated bodies, as of the rebels 
themselves. 

Efforts to deprive the Governor of BlUUarij Poiccr. — The encour- 
agement given to the rebellion by repeated declarations of opposi- 
tion to the war, and of a desire to terminate it by any concessions 
that would satisfy the rebels, was not to be left unsupported by 
more practical measures of obstruction. Throughout the election 
contest of 1862, intimations were frequently given by confident or 
indiscreet sympathizers with the rebellion, that if they were suc- 
cessful the military power of the State would be placed in hands 
that would use it differently from what Governor Morton had 
done. " His tyranny," as they termed h;:; energetic support of the 
war, " should be ended and the people left free to say and do what 
they pleased," that is, that resistance, by word or deed, to the war, 
should be no more restrained than loyal and cordial support of it. 
Secret societies, which had been in process of formation for months 
in all parts of the State, it was universally believed, were to be 
made the depositories of the State arms and constitute the force of 
the new military dispensation. The existence of these societies 
was not denied during the session of the Legislature, (see pages 
65, 76, 145 and elsewhere of Vol. VI, Brevier Reports,) but it was 
alleged that they were formed only for " home protection " against 



260 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

'* arbitrary arrests," and, as was frequently and publicly declared be- 
fore, "to protect themselves iVom the tax and the draft." As or- 
ganizations, if not in ojiposition, at lea;,t not in sympathy, with the 
war or the Crovernment, their existence was admitted both in and 
out of the Legislature, and was as well known as the existence of 
the war itself. The Grand Jury of the United States Circuit Court) 
in the Summer of 1862, ascertained from the examination of a large 
number of witnesses, who admitted their membership, thar these 
societies were more flagrantly disloyal than popular suspicion had 
conjectured, and their report* of the 4th of August, of that year, 
startled the State with indisputable evidence that combinations 
of traitors, sworn to resist the war and every means to prose- 
cute it, undermined nearly every community. The delivery of the 
State arms to such men, and their employment in the military du- 
ties which might be required at home or on the border during the 
war, would be equivalent to taking Indiana out of the national 
ranks and disabling her for all loyal action. AVhile Governor Moii- 
TON retained the power conferred by the Constitution, such a meas- 
'ure, or any measure not in hearty suj>port of the war, would be im- 
possible. To take that power from him v/as, therefore, a necessary 
step to any policy which contemplated making the State an ef- 
fective as well as sympathetic support of the rebellion. While he 
remained Commander-in-Chief and the depository of miiilary au- 
thority, it was very certain that there would be no failure or relax- 
ation of the exertions which had already won for the State and 
himself a very high and enviable standing in the records of the war. 
His promptitude, resolution, and sagacity would beat down disloyal 
resistance, and rally the people to his side and to renewed erlbrts 
■against the rebellion, unless he could be made a cipher in the State 
government. As already stated, it had been often intimated thai 
he should be made a cipher, and in the House of Represcntaiives, 
on the 6th of February, one of the most prominent of the disloyal 
faction admitted that this was the purpose of the majority. A 
member said, "I am informed that certain members of this House 
and of the Senate were recently in one of the Northern counties of 
the State, where the gentleman, (the one alluded to,) I understood, 
said he regarded President Lincoln and Governor Morton as des- 
pots and tyrants w'orse than those of Austria." The gentleman 
answered, " Thafs so." The other resumed, " I also understood

MILITAllY liOAUD rROPOSED. 261 

that they, (the majority,) as far as the Executive of this State is 
conceruecJ, intended to shear him of liis poivcr by, the appointment 
of a Military Board, loho iroidd lake the mililarij power out of hu 
hands.''' The gentleman answered, " That is nearly correct.''^ (See 
page 124, Vol. VI, Brevier Reports.) The purpose of the disloyal 
element of the Legislature, and of the disloyal secret societies, was 
thus well and widely known. Consequently, no one was surprised 
to learn that a resolution had been adopted in the House instruct- 
ing the Military Committee to inquire into the expediency of so 
amending the Militia Law as to j)lace the military power of the 
State in the hands of a majority of the following State officers: 
The Secretary, Auditor, Treasurer and Attorney General. One of 
the members, who assumed, and was allowed, a sort of noisy prom- 
inence in the body, supported the resolution by declaring that " he 
was in favor of the Military Board taking out of the Governor's 
hands the military power. He would permit the Governor to be 
on the Board, but would put enough honest men on it to control 
it." 

On the 17th day of February, bill No. 2:21, with the modest title 
of a " Bill providing for the organization of the Indiana Militia, for 
a military tax, and for other matters properly connected with the 
militia of the State," was introduced in the House. Its title gave 
no indication of its real purpose. It was the measure so often 
threatened, and so important to the schemes of the disloyalists, 
which took from the Governor all military power, and put it in the 
hands of four State officers, three of whom were members of a 
Secret Order, sworn to resist the war and the Government, and to 
assist the rebellion. By section 11 these four State officers were 
constituted a " Military Board " to "recommend to the Governor 
suitable persons to be appointed officers of the militia, but said 
State officers were authorized to give such persons certificates that 
they had been chosen," "which certificates should have all the 
force and effect of commissions, until conuuissions issued by the 
Governor be received." In other words, the certiHcate of the Board 
gave all necessary power to the officer, and the Governor's com- 
mission could be dispensed with entirely. 

This provision placed the militia entirely in the hands of the 
Board. Section 13 gave to the Generals created by the Board, 
under section 11, the power to disband regiments or companies 
and take away their arms, without the assent of the Governor, in 



262 ADJUTANT general's REPORr. 

case of insubordination — that is, in case a regiment or company 
should not recognize officers appointed by the Board, and should 
recognize and obey those appointed by tlie Governor. This provi- 
sion enabled the creatures of the Military Board to disband every 
loyal company in the State, and to take their arms and give them 
to tlie secret organizations which were to constitute the mihtary 
force under the new system. Sections 22 and 23 took from the 
Governor all control of the State arms. The first gave " to the 
staff of the Major-Greneral," a creature of the Board, the power '-to 
call in all the arms and military accoutrements belonging to the 
State," which, when called in, "should be kept by the Assistant 
Quartermaster General, on the staff of the Major General,'' 
also a creature of the Board. The second required that 
orders for arms should be sent, not to the Governor, but " to 
the Assistant A(]jntant General on the staff of the Major Gen- 
eral," another creature of the Military Board, and " be ap- 
proved by the officers of State." Thus the appointment of 
officers, the possession of arms, the distribution of arms, the pres- 
ervation or disbandment of companies; in fact, the whole ma- 
chinery of the State's military power, was taken out of the Gover- 
nor's hands, and placed in the hands of men, a majority of whom 
were notoriously sympathizers with the rebellion. The unconsti- 
tutionality of the measure was not only obvious, but was so ob- 
vious, so obtrusive, that hardly a pretense of constitutionality was 
made for it. It was a revolutionary project in aid of the rebellion, 
and no impudence or ingenuity could make it anything else. Its 
supporters were resolute to drive it through. They treated the 
earnest protests and unanswerable arguments of the loyal mem- 
bers as contemptously as they treated the Governor's message. 
As soon as the bill was read the first time, it was moved to sus- 
pend the rules and read it a second time, and 52 to 37 sustained 
this headlong policy. Bat it required two-thirds, and the second 
reading was deferred. On the 19th of February it was read the 
second time and jirinted. It was thus brought fully before the 
public, and its character w.is exposed everywhere with such effect 
that some of the prominent members of the majority assured 
Governor PvIorton, and very many private citizens, that it should 
not pass. But those who made it meant it, and did not mean to 
drop it, and still pressed its passage. It was a conspicuous illus- 
tration of tlie audacity of rebel sympathies, that so defiant an out- 



REVOLUTION MET BY RKVOLUTION. 263 

rage on the Couslitntion, perpetrated in aid of so causeless a re- 
bellion, should be urged to completion wilh but little delay, and 
less apology. On the 25th of February, the bill was considered in 
Committee of the Whole, and reported back to the Hous{^ when 
eiglit amendments were proposed, which would have had the elh'ct 
of making it constitutioii;d and useless. The amendments were 
laid upon the table by a vote of 53 to o5. Then an attempt was 
made to refer it to the Judiciary Gommittet; for examination of 
its constitutionality. This was voted down by 51 to 30, and then 
the gag of the " previous question " was put upon all debate by a 
vote of 53 to 16. And finally the bill v.'as ordered to be engrossed 
by a vote of o2 to 17. 

This action proved conclusively the determination of the disloyal 
faction to force their revolutionary proj(-ct through at all hazards. 
The loyal members were too weak to resist successfully by ordinary- 
parliamentary tactics, and unless they could disvise means more 
effective than motions, argun)cnts, and votes, they could expect 
nothing less than to see the Governor displaced by a Military 
Board, the arms in the hands of a secret disloyal Order, and the 
State's support of the war turned into apathy or resistance. The 
peril was inmiinent. The promises of those who had declared the 
bill should not pass v^-ere effectually broken by the vote that 
engrossed it. They were, in all probability, never meant to be 
kept. The loyal members had but one remedy. They must meet 
revolution in a.id of the rebellion by revolution in aid of the Gov- 
ermuent. They accordingly left the hall of the House, and soon 
after left the city. The House was then without a quorum. They 
remained absent in the city of Madison till the end of the session, 
and thus defeated 4he attempt to turn the State into a rebel auxili- 
ary. But, repeatedly during their absence, they proposed to the 
disloyal faction to return and complete whatever legislation was 
necessary for the ordinary administration of the State government, 
if the Military Board Bill were not pressed. That measure, they 
were resolved, should not pass, and if its supporters were resolved 
to sacrifice all other business to it, there was nothing more to be 
done. If they deemed it more important to press a bill for the 
withdrawal of the State from the war, (which was the sure effect 
and undoubted purpose of this bill,) than to provide for the ordina- 
ry wants and business of the State, the choice and its responsibili- 



264 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

ty were theirs. They took the responsibility. One of them, in re- 
ply to a proposition to lay aside the Military Bill and take up other 
oubjects, said: "We shall do nothing, if these propositions are 
made by authority, /or we will press these measures. We ivill press 
them:'' (See page 193, Vol. VI., Brevier Reports.) Each side ad- 
hered to its course. The supporters of the rebellion would not 
give up their irieasure. The loyal niinority would not tolerate it. 
Thus failed, not only the Military Bill, but every other bill that had 
not been passed before the retirement of the loyal members. Thus 
he bills making appropriations to carry on the State government, 
to maintain the asylums and the penitentiaries, to pay hundreds of 
claimants who had done work' or furnished goods for the State, all 

failed. 

flNANClAL KMBARRASSMENTS. 

The failure of the Appropriation Bills, which was the direct 
effect of the attempt to depose the Governor, left the State in a con- 
dition to which it would be difficult to find a parallel in any country 
Engiged in a desperate war, with more than one hundred thous- 
and men unJer arms, demands were constantly made by the Gen- 
eral Government for more men to recruit or increase the forces in 
the field. Secret organizations, sworn to resist and embarrass 
every effort for the war, pervaded every county. Deserters, under 
the solicitations of friends who promised them protection, came 
•skulking home by thousands. Bands of troops sent to arrest them 
were resisted, fired upon, or eluded. Officers employed in execut- 
ing the draft laws were openly mobbed or secretly murdered- 
L >cal contlicts and collisions seemed every instant on the point of 
spreading into a domestic war. Prominent speakers traversed the 
State and the Northwest denouncing the Government and coun- 
seling resistance. Newspapers constantly deepened and poisoned 
!he irritation which the necessities of war always create. Currency 
was falling, prices rising, and distress increasing. The war seemed 
to make little j>rogress, and the end of the gloomy path we were 
treading appeared, both to sense and hope, far away. In this con~ 
dition of things, black and bloody enough, the Legislature met, and 
proceeded by scores of votes and resolutions to declare its distrust 
of the Government, its hostility to the war, and its disposition to 
concede what the rebels demanded. This was the military "situa" 
tion." One more difficult to measure and provide for can hardly

be conceived. It was more than enough for a strong and wise man 
to carry the State safely through such a storm. But in the midst 
of these perils, closing in ahead, pressing nearer on every side, slie 
was left without means to pay her debts, preserve her credit, to 
carry on her most vital operations. To meet such a crisis, in a 
civil administration during such a stormy and perilous period in a 
military administration, is not often given to man to attempt, very 
rarely to accomplish. 

Governor Morton met the crisis with a decision and energy 
that showed he clearly understood its necessities, and was lully 
resolved to conquer them. The State Oificers could be depended 
on for nothing but hindrances of whatever lie attempted for the 
duty or credit of the State. Money must be raised to maintain 
the Asylums, or the inmates must be sent home. These institu- 
tions, if discontinued for two years, would be nearly ruined, and but 
little less dilEcult to restore than they were to establish. The Pen- 
itentiaries must be provided for or the convicts unloosed, or left un- 
guarded to unloose themselves. The Indiana Arsenal, 'so important 
to the Government, must be carried on; the State militia, so often 
called into service to defend the border from rebel invasion and in- 
surrection, must be paid ; military expenses must necessarily be 
incurred in raising troops, for steamboats sent to relieve the sick 
and wounded with sanitary supplies, and to bring home the broken 
down and disabled, for special surgeons dispatched to the army 
and hospitals, for the support of the State military relief agencies, 
and other objects ecpially as essential. Even the travelling expenses 
of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, to enable him to per- 
form his duties, must be advanced. But where was the money to 
(H)ine from ? The Governor, in an address issued to the people of 
the State, May 10th, 1864, thus explains the course he felt com- 
pelled to pursue, and the plan resorted to, to overcome the diili- 
culties by which he was surrounded : 

" In presenting the accompanying report of my Financial Secretary, it is proper 
(Iiat I should state, for public information, tlie reasons which induced me to cslab- 
lish a Financial Bureau, and assume the heavy responsibilities which were thus 
thrown upon me. 

The Legislature of 18G3 adjourned on the 9th day of IMarch, without making 
any appropriations for defraj ing the ordinary and extraordinary expenses of the 
State Government. The former appropriations for the Benevolent Institutions, 
the Hospital for the Insane, Institute for the Blind, and Asylum for the Deaf and 
Dumb, had been nearly or (juite exhausted. The Northern Prison had not only 



266 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

exhausted the appropriations hitherto made, but, by incurring a heavy debt in con- 
struction of buildings, had exhausted its credit also. More than one hundred 
thousand of our citizens had been sent to the field to assist in suppressing the rebel- 
lion, yet the only fund at my disposal, from which the contingent military expenses 
including the care and relief of the sick and wounded, could be paid, was a smal^ 
remnant of the appropriation made in 1861. For the civil contingent expenses of 
the Executive Department there was no provision whatever. The Auditor and 
Treasurer of State, upon being consulted by me immediately after the close of the 
session, decided that not a single dollar, in the absence of Legislative appropriations, 
should be drawn from the public funds in the Treasury for these objects. 

The alternatives thus presented to me, were. First — to allow the Benex'olent In- 
stitutions to be closed, and permit the unfortunate inmates to be thrown back upon 
their respective counties, or upon the charities of the world for care and support ; 
or. Second — to convene the Legislature in extra session, in the hope that the 
majority, who had full control, would pass the appropriation bills. To have closed 
the Asylums would have been a shame and disgrace, as well as a crime against 
humanity itself. To have called back the Legislature, after the majority for fifty 
days, during which time a quorum was present in each house, out of the fifty-nine 
days of the regular session, had failed and refused to bring forward and pass the ap- 
propriation bills, I believed would have been perilous to the public peace and dan- 
gerous to the best Interests of the State. 

In this contingency I determined to jirocure, if possible, sufficient money to carry 
on all the institutions of the State and keep the machinery of the government in 
motion. I accordingly established a Bureau of Finance, and appointed Colonel W. 
II. H. Terrell, Financial Secretary. My success in procuring funds exceeded my 
expectations, and I am gratified to state that provision has been made for all the 
means which will likely be required to meet every proper demand up to tlie next 
regular meeting of the Legislature." 

All the money required, and more, was readily obtained. Not a 
halt or jolt was felt io all the State machinery, and the work of the 
war never slackened a moment. For nearly two years the finan- 
cial business of the State was thus carried on. Over one million 
of dollars was disbursed, and a Joint Committee of the Legisla- 
ture appointed to investigate the books and vouchers, reported that 
every cent had been fully accounted for, and every expenditure 
economically and properly made. It will not be easy to find any- 
where an instance of action more perfectly adapted to a great 
emergency than this. It filled every necessity and filled it at once, 
though there are few public men who would have dared to assume 
such enormous respoti-sibility or who could have brought it to such a 
successful termination. It may appear a very easy thing noiv to 
resort to contributions when appropriations fail, and so it was very 
easy to make an egg stand on end when the way was once shown. 
But nobody but Columbus happened to think of the way. 



INTEREST ON THE PUBLIC DEUT. 267 

The Governor was not released from his worst difliculties by his 
"contributions" and his "Financial Bureau." A much greater in 
its consequences, if it were not met, was the payinen.t of ihe inter- 
est on the State debt. No provision had been made for this any 
more than for other necessities. But wise and honest miui thought 
that no especial provision was necessary for it, because the contract 
with the bond-holders solemnly pledged the faith of tiie State for 
its payment, and fixed time, place and amount. This they held 
was a perpetual or continuing appropriation, and any other especial- 
ly directed to the same object was snperfluons. But the State offi- 
cers, whatever they thought, acted upon a different construction of 
the law. They would not pay the interest, although the money 
was idly lying in the Treasury. The State Auditor would not 
draw for it, and the State Agent, afterwards better known as an 
active agent and tool of the rebels in Canada, declared that he 
would not pay it to the bond-holders if it were sent to hiiu. A 
case was got up between the State Auditor and the Sinking Fund 
Commissioners to test the question as to the legality of paying our 
debt, in time, place and amount, as solemnly agreed upon. 
Through a false entry, fraudulently imposed upon the Circuit Court 
of Marion County, the case was taken to the Supreme Court in 
time to allow a decision before the first installment, after the ad- 
journment of the Legislature, became due. It was well understood 
that the Supreme Court would decide that the interest could not be 
lawfully paid, and that the decision, equivalent to repudiation for 
two years, would ruin the State's credit. The decision was made 
promptly, and precisely as was universally predicted. If Governor 
Morton had been willing to accept the failure of the Legislature 
to make an appropriation as an irremediable evil, he would have 
done no more than Governor Willard did a hw years belore in 
allowing the Asylums to be closed. If he, willingly or unwillingly, 
had accepted the decision of the Supreme Court as a full justifica- 
tion of his refusal to act in the matter, no man could have justly 
censured him. But he paid no regard to the excuses he might 
make for himself. He looked only to the credit of the State. He 
knew that the failure of the Legislature to make an ap|)ropriation, 
whatever it might do for him, would not keep the State's stocks 
from tumbling ten or twenty per cent. He knew that the decision 



268 ADJUTANT (general's REPORT. 

of the Supremo Couri, completely as it might protect him, would 
not s^hicld the State from the sneers and reproaches that would fol- 
low an act of virtual repudi;ition, He set to work at once, with all 
his energy, to procure the money to pay the interest. And he suc- 
ceeded. A liberal and loyal house in New York, which had long 
been identified with the interests of the Stale, advanced the money, 
and the State's credit was preserved. If it had not been, it is diifi- 
cult to imagine the condilion in which the Legislature of 1863 
W'ould have left us. " Honey-combed" with secret treasonable socie- 
ties, bubbling with local riots and disaffection, the laws defied, the 
officers shot or mobbed, half the manliood of the State away in the 
army, State Officers working only to embarrass loyal State action, 
the Supreme Court justifying them, with no money but contribu- 
tions, no Treasury but an extemporized bureau, we only needed re- 
pudiation to be as badly off as treason, dishonesty, and folly could 
make us. Th;it we escaped all, and struggled tlirough so gloriously, 
is due to the energy, decision, clear-sightedness, disinterestedness, 
and iron will of Governor Oliver P. Morton. 

REVIl-W OF LEOISLATIVjE OBSTRUCTIONS. 

Glancing back over the record of the embarrassment created b}'' 
the Legislature to the war, which has been set forth, it will not be 
difficult to collect into one view the main points from which ema- 
nated encouragement for the rebels or discouragement for loyal 
men. By denouncing as " inhuman tyranny " and " shameful cruel- 
ty " the military arrests of men known to be traitors; by demand- 
ing perfect freedom of speech and action for all who wanted to use 
either to assist the rebels; by declaring, in scores of resolutions, 
that the war was hopeless; by demanding an armistice, that tlie 
rebels might have time to recuperate ; by proposing conventions to 
take negotiations for peace out of the hands of Congress and the Gov- 
ernment; by refusing to investigate the charges, though based on 
the oaths of hundreds of their members, that secret disloyal socie- 
ties were organized in aid of the rebellion in the State; by attempt- 
ing to depose the Governor and place in his stead a Military Board 
of men pledged to oppose the war and the Government; by allow- 
ing the State's necessities and credit to go unprovided for rather 
than give up a flagrantly unconstitutional scheme to cripple her 
efforts for the war; and by other less conspicuous means, the dis-

loyal elcmcMV. of t'u; Legislaiure of 1863 gave to the r(>bc}Iion more 
encourageiiient, and (fid more to prolong the war, than a reinforce- 
ment of ten thousand men conk! have done. Sneh action was a 
promise of all ihat th;' rebels desired, to be fulfilled whenever their 
friends obtained |)ower. And the possession of power in several of 
the largest and strongi^st States was a promise full of cheering, that 
the jiower Uiight soon be obtained in enough of the others to ride 
down the President, make peace, and install the rebellion in full 
(•omm;uid of the nation. 'JMiis was something to fight and suffer 
for, and ihat the rebels did fight and suffer for nearly two years after 
all militaiy success was hopeless is due to the exhortations and en- 
couragements of sucli bodies as the Indiana Legislature of 1863. 

KXPPvESSIOXS OF roi'UiMlL FKEMXO AGAINST THK WAIl. 

This action of the Legislature was not a reflection of the real feel- 
ings of a majority of tlie ])eople. It was only the gross misuse of 
the power conferred by a temporary dissatisfaction with the war. 
Very many loyal men, who wislied to rebuke what they regarded 
as a want of vigor or judgment on the part of tlie Government and 
some of its Generals, voled against those who were uneonditionalh" 
pledged to go on with the v/ar, and thus gave a majority to those 
who were either disloyal, or so far dissatisfied as to cooperate with 
disloyalists. Yet, that this action was a reflection of the real feel- 
ings of a large portion of the people will appear from the language 
oi very manj newspapers, orators, and public meetings, at differ- 
ent periods of the war: 

Bij Local Meetings. — Before v^'ar was yet considered certain by 
the people of the North, in February, 1861, a meeting, held at Can- 
nelton. Perry county, passed this resolution : " If no compromise 
can be obtained, and a disunion shall be unfortunately made be- 
tween the Northern and Southern States, then the commercial and 
agricultural interests of the peo])l(! of this county requii-e us 1o say 
that we can not consent that the Ohio river shall be the boundary 
line betw'een the contending nations; and we earnestly desire lliai, 
if a line is to be drawn between the North and South, that line 
shall be drawn north of us." A similar resolution was adt)i5ted in 
Washington county, at a large meeting on the 16th of February, 
1861. In many counties, at various times during the war, senii- 



270 ADJUTANT GENe'rAL's REPORT. 

inents hostile to it were expressed in the most public -and emphatic 
manner. A lew specimens are here given: 

Alien. — At a meeting in Allen county, on the loih of August, 
1864, resolutions were adopted declaring that " War is no remedy 
for disunion, but is disunion and eternal separation itself; ther;'fore 
we are in favor of, and demand of those in authority, a cessation of 
hostilities.'" "We declare the proposed draft for 500,000 men the 
most damnable of all other outrag-cs perpetrated by the Administra- 
tion upon the people,*' "'If (iglit we must, we will fight for th.e 
Constitution and the Union, and will never give any aid or assist- 
ance to the continuing of this unholij and unconstitutional war.'- 

Bartholomciu. — At a meeting held February 7th, 1863, it was de- 
clared "That we invite conservative men, everywhere, to cooperate 
w'ith us in an earnest endeavor to bring about a speedy termination 
of the war, and to this end we will favor an armistice^ to enable the 
belligerenis to agree upon terms of j)eace." 

Broivn. — At a meeting of January 1st, 1863, it was resolved that 
"Our interests and inclinations will demand of us a tvithdrainal 
from the political association in a common government with the 
New England States ; " also, " We demand an immediate armistice 
preparatory to a compromise of existing difficulties," and ^'■general 
amnestij for political offenses." At a subsequent meeting, on the 
13th of Avigust, 1863, it was resolved that "The present fratricidal 
and desolating Vvair was unnecessarily forced upon the country by 
wicked, fanatical politicians North and South;" that "We are oji- 
posed to famishing men or money to prosecute a war to free ne- 
groes;" and "We arc in favor of an immediate armistice and a 
National Convention to restore j)eace and union under the Consti- 
iution." 

Clay. — A meeting on tlit; 23d of February, 1863, resolved that 
'•We recommeiKl a cessation of hostilities for such a period as may 
bo necessary to allow the people of the North and South, by a Na- 
tional Conveniion, to express their wash for a maintainance of the 
Union as it was under the Constitution as it is." 

Carroll. — A meeting of January 1st, 1863, resolved against the 
war and the President's Emancipation Proclamation. 

DeKalb. — A meeting on January 31st, 1863, declared " That w^e 
will not give one cent or send one single soldier to the present con- 
test while it is conducted for its present unholy jjurpose." At a 



COUNTV DISLOYAL MEETINGS. 271 

snbseqnent meeting, of February :21st, it was declared lijat " Wc 
are in favor of an armistice^'' and that '-We are unwilling to furni^^h 
either men or money for any such pnrposes" — meaning for an 
emancipation war. 

Fallon. — A convention of Jane 2-Jih, 1864, resolved "That we 
are opposed to the prosecution of the present war for the suljjuga- 
tion of States," and "We are satisfied that its further prosecution 
for such a purpose will jjrove the utter destruction of civil liberty in 
America." 

Greene. — A meeting of February 27th, 1863, resolved that "We 
hereby declare our opposititm to the fartiier prosecution of the war 
as it is now being waged, and that we arc not in favor of furnish- 
ing the present Administration another ma)i,g-un, or dollar for such 
a hellish and unchristian crusadt.^' 

Hunting-ton. — -A n)eeting held in December, 1862, in a very 
amnsing recifation of imaginary evils inflicted upon the West by 
New England, declared "that had it not been for the fanaticisni 
and peculation of New England our generation would not have 
witnessed the ghastly spectre of disunion, and were it not for the 
same causes still potent for eyil, these dilRculiics could be atl- 
justed." No blame is attached to the South. 

Jackson. — A meeting of February 19th, 1863, declared "that it 
is our deliberate conviction that the union of these States can 
never be restored by war, and that such restoration can only be 
brought about by peaceful means through delegates to a National 
Convention." 

Lag-range. — A meeting of February 28th, declared that the time 
!iad already arrived when "all true lovers of the Constitution" 
should unite to inaugurate such action as would bring about a 
peace. As the rebels had re;udiated the Constitution, this resolu- 
tion could only refer to the people of the North, thus making it 
their business to inaugurate peace, 

Laivrence. — A meeting of January 24th, 1863, resolved against 
the prosecution of the v/ar and against emancipatu)n. 

Martin. — A meeting of January 23d, 1863, resolved "That we 
regard the lives of white men as of more value than the freedom 
of the negro, and we have given the last man and the last money 
we are willing to give for the prosecution of the present abolition 
war." 

Marshall. — A convention of June, 1863, resolved that " 2^;e are 



li'l ADJUTANT GENERALS llEPORT. 

opposed to the. ivar under anij and all circumstances, and that we are 
opposed 1o the furthei- continuance of this unholy and unnatural 
strife." 

Madison. — A meeting of June 25th, 1S64, declared "the restora- 
tion of the Union by force im|)ossible," and "that the history of 
the past three years has already demonstrated the utter hopeless- 
ness, as well as the gigantic wrong, of a further continuance of the 
present contest." 

Marion. — A meeting of March IHth, in Indiar.apolis, declared in 
favor of a cessation of hostilities. 

Posey — A meeting in this county declared " it beyond the power 
of the North to restore the Union by force, and we call on the Ad- 
ministration at once to stop a useless slaughter of our p^eople and 
proclaim an armistice." 

Putnam. — A meeting of February 21st, 1863. resolved that there 
should be " a cessation of hostilities," and that it was " the deliber- 
ate sense of this meeting that not another soldier and not another 
dollar ought to be furnislied for the further prosecution of this war 
for negro emancipation." 

Rush. — A convention of January 31st, 1863, resolved " That we 
are unqualifiedly opposed to the further prosecution of this aboli- 
tion war, and believing that in its continued prosecution there 
await us only the murderous sacrifice of legions of brave men, 
ignotninious and certain defeat, shame and dishonor at home and 
abroad, public ruin, and the serious endangerment of our liberties, 
we unhesitatingly declare that we are for peace, the cessation of 
hostilities, an armistice, and the settlement of existing difficulties 
by compromise or negotiation through a Natiot^al Convention." 

Shelby. — A meeting of February Otii, 1863, denounced the Ad- 
ministration and emancipation, demanded a cessation of hostilities, 
and opposed the conscription laws. 

Scott. — A meeting of January 26th, 1863, declared opposition to 
the prosecution of the war, and in favor of the measure to take 
Jiway all military power from the Governor. 

Starke. — A meeting of January 25th, 1863, declared for a cessa- 
tion of hostilities, for a National Convention, and for the appoint- 
ment by the Legislature of commissioners to communicate with 
other States, and with Congress, to get their co-operation in secur- 
ing a National Convention. 

Sivitzcrland. — A meeting at Vevay declares that *' we are un-

dtclare that we will not furnish another tnan or another dollar to 
carry on this abolition war." 

Waf/ne.—\ meeting of March 20th, 1863, declared — 1st. Thar 
" the further prosecution of this war vnll result in the overthroir of the 
Constitntion^ of civil liberty, of the Federal Government, in the ek>- 
vation of the black man, and the degredation of the white man in 
the social and political status of the country." 2d. That "we arc 
in favor of an armistice, and the calling of a National convention." 
3d. That if the Administration goes on with its arrests by Provost. 
Marshals and police oliicials " blood will flow." 

Other Expressions. — On the loth of August, 1864, an address to 
the peo|)le was |)ublished in one of the papers of the Capital, 
counselling the formation of armed organizations, for the ostensible 
purpose of preventing improper interferences with elections, which 
were never threatened, and of which there were not then, nor at 
any other time, any appearance. So alarming a proceeding, con- 
sidering that some of its most prominent authors were admitted 
niemhers of a secret order sworn to assist the rebellion, was deemed 
by Governor Mortox important enough to demand executive notice 
and reprehension.* The disloyal element must have felt itself very 
strong to have ventured thus to defy tlie Government. 

The speeches of public men are commonly and justly accepted as an 
cxpressionof the views of those with whom they are associated politic- 
ally; and the speech of any man may be aceepted as an indication of 
the existence of at least some degree; of public sentiment to sus- 
tain him. when such stormy elements are in motion as a civil war 
excites. And of disloyal speeches of Indiana men, it is quite pos- 
sible to fill a larger volume than this Vv'hole report will be. A very 
few extracts must suffice here. 

Early in April 1861, about the time the rebels attacked Fort 
Sumter, a gentleman who has made a good deal of noise, though 
it would be difficult to find anything else he has ever done, in a 
speech at Greencastle said: "1 say to you my constituents that, as 
your representative, I will never vote one dollar, or one man, or one

274 ADJUTANT general's KEPORT^ 

o-iia to the administration of Abraham Lincoln, to make war 
ui)on the St)uth," though there is evidence that he freely promised 
100,000 men to the rebels, and negotiated for 20,000 muskets, wiih 
which, it is supposed, "Sons of Liberty" were to be armed. 

On the 18ih of May 1861, anotlier gentleman who was very 
^iroui.nent and has represented enough public sentiment to act as 
a Senator of the United States, and who at the time was a candi- 
date for Congress, said, "if this war interferes with the status of 
slaverv I am opposed to it, and will not give one dollar to carry it 
on."' A year afterwards he said, " President Lincoln is a traitor, 
robber, or foof." 

At a meeting in the Capital, in 1804, a prominent member said, 
" nine hundred and ninety-nine men of every thousand, whom I 
represent, breathe no other prayer than to have an end to this hellish 
war. Whoi neivs of our victories come, there is no rejoicing- ; ivhen 
ucias of our defeat comes there is tio sorroiv.^' 

In a speech in the Legislature, on the 1st of February, a mem- 
ber, who was afterwards a leader of the Sons of Liberty, and 
figured as a witness in the trial of some of them before a military 
court, said: " You will find strong arms and brave hearts beating 
in the breasts of over one hundred thousand Indianians, that will 
say, us you march under abolition banners towards our brothers on 
the other side of yonder river, (Ohio) 'thus far shalt thou go and 
no farther.' I mean that whenever the President of the United 
States, calls upon the Governor of the State of Indiana for troops 
to go to the Southern States, and whip those seven states back into 
the Union, and force them to remain an integral part of the govern- 
ment * * * I ^yj}} leave my native land — my hearth- 
stone — my wife and family, and rather become a private in the 
Southern arm//, fighting for equal rights and privileges, than be the 
commander-in-chief of an Abolition army, that would be compelled 
to go to the South, to shed the blood of those wdio dare raise their 
arms for freedom and liberty — for justice and self preservaiion." 
There is much more to the same purpose, but there need be added 
only the following: " But if nothing but war and blood, and strife 
will settle the matter, let me tell you now i/ou will not have a united 
North, and God forbid you should." 

A few extracts from newspapers, which are but specimens of 
thousands of similar utterances, may be added here to show what 
the disloyal element was and was resolved to do. 



ENCOURAGKMENT OF DESERTION. 275 

A paper in Wasli'mg-ton county, published in April 1861 the fol- 
lowing language : '• When that day conies, there will be plenty 
of brave hearts to support the tlag, and bear it aloft, if need be, over 
the blackened corpses of fanatical agitators, and fiendish Republicans. 
Then will cotne the tug of war. Indianians about here are not 
^-oing" to fight the South, and may iu case of emergency stay the. 
onward march of Abolition hordes." 

Another, published in Orange county, about tlie time the war 
commenced, said : "We would advise them to ascertain, before 
they commence raising their abolition crews for the South, how the 
land lies about home, and see if they might not subject themselves 
io a warm fire in the rear.'' 

On the 5th of January, I860, just before the news of the battle 
of Stone River was received, a paper published at the capital said : 
'• In view of this terrific contest is it not time to pause and think? 
» * * Would it not be wise to stop where we are? * * * 
Now let us be manly enough, reasonable enough, sensible enough 
to settle our national and sectional differences by a difierent arbi- 
trament than that of war. Blood enough has been shed, money 
enough has been spent." 

Articles or extracts urging peace at any price, the establishment 
of an armistice, compromise, recognition of the Confederacy, and 
the like utterances encouraging the rebels, might be quoted to an 
extent that would forbid the most patient reader from attempting 
to read them. But there can be no necessity to add to the evi- 
dences already presented of the existence of a strong and wide- 
spread sympathy with the rebellion among our people. 

ENCOURAGEilEXT OF DESERTION. 

The third, and one of the most dangerous of all the modes 
adopted by the disloyal element to weaken our armies and pros- 
trate the nation before its enemies, was the encouragement of de- 
sertion, and the protection of deserters by organizations formed for 
that purpose. But little effort was made in this direction during 
the first year of the war. The same causes that suppressed more 
demonstrative opposition of other kinds had their eft'ect, no doubt, 
in preventing any of this kind. But our disasters gave opportunity 
To the one, and impulse to the other, at the same time, and both began 
their work together. The return of a deserter now and then, and 
even the gradual increase in the number of desertions, caused no 



276 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

uneasiness. War as was new as it was terrible to our jjeople, and 
they were consequently ignorant of the necessities of the service, 
of the importance of discipline and obedience, and above all, of 
absolute fidelity. To many, no doubt, an engagement as a soldier 
was very much like an engagement as a journeyman or laborer — a 
contract to be carried out as long as it could be conveniently done, 
but of wliich a violation was no very serious affair. To desert was 
simply to "knock olf work." The first deserters, no doubt, acted 
under some such misapprehension. And they were received at 
home as if they had merely abandoned a job instead of having 
committed a crime that might cost them their lives. The Govern- 
ment, fully aware of the general want of appreciation of the char- 
acter of the offense, at lirst treated it very leniently. But as the 
evil began to grow with the growing severity of the service, greater 
strictness became necessary. The soldiers and the public, too, by 
that time had learned that dc^sertion, to all honorable minds, meant 
worse than death, the utmost blackness of disgrace; and that, to 
all otlier minds, it meant death. There was no longer any ignor- 
ance, or partial apprehension, of the nature of the offence anywhere. 
The peril of our armies which taught this lesson gave to the disloyal 
the impulse to defy it. They began sending letters to their rela- 
tives in the army urging them to desert. And desertions, v/hich 
had already been increasing from the increasing hardships of the 
service, now began to swell into most formidable proportions. 
Large bodies of troops were compelled to be kept at home to 
return these victims of disloyal persuasion. With the effort of tlie 
Government to reclaim deserters came efforts on the part of its 
■ enemies to protect them. Organizations for that [mrpose were 
formed in neighborhoods all over the State, and conflicts with 
guards sent to arrest deserters became so frequent as to excite little 
attention, unless they were bloody as well as illegal. In many 

• cases, no doubt in most, these organizations were parts of the 
secret Order of Sons of Liberty. The character of their conduct, 
as well as the coincidence in the times of their appearance, would 
indicate a close connection and common origin. Encouragement 

• of desertion was a cardinal tenet in the creed of the disloyal Order, 
and, except in aggravated cases, we can hardly imagine that the 
■people of any respectable neighborhood, uncorrupted by such asso- 
■eiations, would make violent resistance to an armed guard who 

were simply executing the law. It is not necssary here to trace the 



LETTKHS TO INDUCE DESERTIONS. 277 

evidence that these solicitations to deseu-tion, and these resistances 
even to blood of the arrest of deserters, generally proceeded from 
this most infainous Order directly, or from inflaences emanating 
from it. 

But as snccessfui as these treasonable or mistaken efforts to in- 
duce our soldiers to dci^ert too often were, it is a matter of congrat- 
ulation to the State, and of immeasurable honor to the men upon 
whom the villainous attempts were made, that they failed far 
oftener than they succeeded ; and not only failed, but excited the 
most intense indignation in those who were sought to be seduced- 
Hundreds of dishonorable letters, encouraging desertion, were sent 
by the men who received them to the papers of the State for pub- 
lication. The columns of one or two of those at the Capital will 
show scores of them, and hardly a loyal paper appeared in any 
county for weeks that did not contain one or more. Thousands 
more doubtless were never revealed, but burned in silent indigna- 
tion, that the shame of a parent or relative might never be known- 
It would be unnecessary here, even if it were possible, to give such 
a number of these letters as would indicate the number actually re- 
turned and published, but it may be stated that they generally con- 
sisted of an assurance to the soldier that "this was an abolition war, 
and that it was WTong to fight in it — that all the soldier's relatives 
thought he should come home, and if he did he had nothing to fear, 
as they were prepared to protect him, no matter what force was 
sent to arrest him." This is the substance of them all, as ail w^l^ 
remember who can recall any of them. 

The effect of these efforts was alarming. So many deserters 
came home that especial exertions in recruiting had to be made to 
restore the atrcngth they had abstracted, and the President was com- 
pelled to issue a proclamation against it, and warning deserters to 
return. No less than two thousand three hundred desertions were 
reported in the single month of December, 1862, and over ten 
thousand deserted in this State during the war, a very large pro- 
portion of them under the influence of these guilty and shameful 
solicitations. 

Besides the efforts made through letters, and similar means of 
inculcating disloyal sentiments and detestation of the service, emis. 
saries were sent into the army to organize lodges of the " Knights 
of the Golden Circle," and establish that perfidious ally of the rebel- 
lion in the very citadel of the Government's strength. Measures 



278 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

were taken also to protect deserters by the ready hands of disloyal 
Judges as well as by coneealinent, resistance and rescue. Volun- 
teers who had been made dissatislied with their duty even before 
they had commenced it, were su|)plied with legal counsel who rarely 
lacked a lie or trick to make a pretext for a writ of habeas corpus ; 
and Judges, quick to help them, were plenty enough. The writ, 
though suspended by law, would be issued, and under the plea of 
youth, debility, or it mattered little what, the recruit was discharged. 
The same remedy was found effective in cases of desertion, and 
was fr(>qnently used. The law was no obstacle, for lawyers and 
judges could readily find other law. At one time the determined 
eftart of one of the judges of our Supreme Court to take a soldie^ 
out of the service by a writ of habeas corpus, after its legal suspen- 
sion, threatened a fatal collision between the civil and military au- 
thorities. The action of the Judge was a deliberate defiance of 
the National CJovernment, and w^as generally believed to have been 
impelled by a desire to provoke a collision which could be ujade to 
tell upon the relations of political parties at that time. He threat- 
ened that "the streets of the Capital should run with blood" unless 
the soldiei- was suffered to be taken by civil process. *Tlie spirit 
HJiowni by him was not confined to him or his associates, by any 
means, but in neaily every part of the State judicial instruments of 
di-sloyalty could be found. 

With such influences at work, at hotrie, in the army, all around 
the soldier, it is less astonishing that desertion was so formidably 
frequent than that it was not more frequent. 

ACTS OF VIOLENCE, RESISTANCE TO THE DRAFT. ETC. 

So far, the exliibition of the connection between the^isloyal ele 
ment of the North and the rebellion has been confisied to the state- 
ment of opinions and feelings adverse to the war, and favorable to 
the rebels. But disloyalty in very many portions of the State took 
the more decided, though by no means more dangerous, forui of 
violence, or combinations to commit violence, in resistance of the 
draft, in protection of deserters, in terrifying, maltreating, or expell- 
ing from their homes citizens whose adhesion to the Government 
made them obnoxious, and in producing a general feeling of uneasi- 
ness and danger, under which the State was in a condition of con- 
stant turbulence, and a domestic war, more or less wide-spread, was 
anticipated. In many cases, no doubt, the disturbances were the 



A llEIGN OF TERROR. 279 

result of individual enmities, or accidental collisions, but in every 
case the parties were divided by the line of political ditferences, and 
the antngonisrn aggravated and made active by tlum. In many 
more cases political feeling, excited by disloyal newspapers and 
orators, and emissaries of rebel organizations, was the sole cause of 
outrages that made many portions of the State unsafe for the resi- 
dence of any man known to support the Government, and of defi- 
ance of the laws that hardly stopped short of open insurrection. In 
Sullivan, Knox, Martin, Orange, Greene, Washington, Daviess, 
Brown, Jackson, Crawford, Rush, Bartholomew, Fountain, War- 
ren, Johnson, Putnam, Blackford, in fact in nearly every coimty in 
the State, in the townships or neighborhoods where the disloyal 
element predominated, the condition of the community was for a 
time only less unsettled and fearful than a condition of actual war. 
Union men, uniformly called "abolitionists," were notified to leave 
the county, under penalty of death, or beating, or loss of property. 
Many of them were frightened or forced to obey, and left their 
homes, some for a few weeks, some never to return. Their barns 
were burned, their houses phmdered, their stock stolen, they them- 
selves were robbed. Their enemies were armed and met frequently, 
sometimes openly sometimes secretly, to drill and to concert out- 
rages upon their defen-^eless loyal neighbors. Resistance w^as gen- 
erally useless, and rarely attempted. A resort to the laws was 
worse than idle, for often neither judge nor jury would enforce the 
laws in defense of "abolitionists." The Governor w^as ap|)ealed 
to. Petitions for protection poured in from nearly all parts of the 
State, but chiefly from the western and southern sections. What 
help could be given was given, but the repression operated no fur- 
ther than the troops could reach. Outrages were still committed 
in other quarters with impunity. Deserters banded together to 
plunder loyal men. In some places they established defenses and 
prepared, with the help of the citizens, to defy the Government. 
Companies of citizens fired on the guards sent to arrest deserters. 
In several places thev beat off the guard and rescued cajitured de- 
serters. Enrolling officers for the draft were warned, threatened, 
and murdered. Their houses were mobbed and robbed. They 
could execute their duty nowhere in these disloyal counties but at 
the peril of their lives. Resistance to the draft was openly pro- 
claimed, and made a party watch-w^ord. Schemes to overthrow

afliiiaied organizations througliout the State for this jnirpose, deep- 
ened the peril and excitement of the time. The Governor's life 
was repeatedly threatened. Once he was fired at, as he was leav- 
ing the State House at night, and narrowly escaped. The bail 
grazed his head. Anonymous letters were sent to him by scores, 
threatening him with assassination if he persisted in his efforts to 
carry on the war. Conspiracies were formed to concoct plots that 
would result in his political ruin, and most foul and villainous 
stories were invented for the |)urpose of breaking down liis moral 
character and disgracing him before the world. No crime seemed 
too black for the furtherance of disloyal objects. There is no 
doubt that this disturbed and dangerous condition of many com- 
munities, indeed, of the entire State, was produced to a very great 
extent by the etlbrts of the infamous order of "Sons of Liberty." 
With an organization so thoroughly treasonable, so expressly con- 
structed to assist the rebellion, so compact, and penetrating so com- 
pletely into every part of the State, animating disloyal feeling into 
violence and combining all violence to its own ends, the labor of 
preserving the peace was a very serious one, and greatly increased 
the oppressiveness of the labor of keeping our ranks recruited, the 
demands of the Government satisfied, the necessities of our sick 
and wounded soldiers supplied, and the civil administration of the 
State, so grievously crippled by the action of the Legislature, 
moving steadily and successfully on. That all were done, and well 
done, is one of Governor Morton's titles to that place in the his- 
tory of the war which contemporary admiration has already as- 
signed him. 

It would be impossible, here, to give an account of all the dis- 
turbances and outrages which marked this period of the war. But 
a few will serve to give an idea t)f the condition of things which 
prevailed in many of the counties of the State. 

Among the riots, which at the time created unusual and general 
excitement, was that in Brown county, in which Mr. Lewis Pros- 
sER, a few years before a Representative in the Legislature, a leader 
of the "Sons of Liberty" in the county, and prominent for his 
syiTipathy with the rebellion, at a political meeting, on the 18th of 
April, 1863, killed a soldier, and was himself mortally wounded by 
Captain Cunning, an officer of volunteers. A commission, consist- 
ing of Hon. LuciEN Barbour, Judge Samuel E. Perkins, and Cap- 
tain John H. Farquhar, was appointed by the Governor to inves-

tigate Ihe aflair, and their report of the evidence leaves it quite 
clear that the first collision was not caused by any purely or ordi- 
nary political ditlerence or dispute. It belongs to the object of this 
report only as exhibiting the bitterness of feeling and the disorder- 
ed condition of the conimunity, produced by the conduct of disloyal 
citizens, which could so easily force a trivial dispute into a bloody 
and fatal fight. Other facts exhibit the same condition even more 
clearly. Some of the witnesses before the Commission testified 
that their neighbors had been driven from home by the threats and 
violence of the friends of the rebellion. One of them, Willi z\m 
Gould, says: "It was the talk that they were going to kill the 
Republicans and Abolitionists. I heard a man, living south of 
Nashville, (the county seat,) say he was going to Georgetown, and 
that when he got home, there were two Abolitionists there who 
would have to leave. His name is William M. Elkins. Mrs. 
Bruner, whose husband is in the army, Widow Flekner, John 
Winkler and family, and the family of David Jacksox, left their 
homes in consequence of the threats made.*' "An unoccupied 
house in Bean Blossom, (the scene of the riot,) belonging to a 
Union man, was burned." Some weeks after the riot, the outrages 
of the disloyal faction became so frequent and intolerable that a 
petition, signed by one hundred and twenty-five loyal citizens of the 
county, was sent to the Governor praying that a "small military 
force be sent" for their protection. The petition states that "but a 
few nights ago, (about the last of July,) houses were fired into, and 
one was burned to the ground. The lives of all Union men were 
threatened.'' * **"A few days ago, a discharged soldier, while plowing 
in his field, was shot and badly wounded." Mr. Gould testifies 
that a day or two after the riot, in April, he saw a band of fifty 
men drilling in Nashville, all fully armed. The next day, a com- 
pany of forty armed tnen, from Jackson and Bartholomew coun- 
ties, passed through in the direction of Georgetown. They were 
joined by an equal number from Nashville. Their purpose was to 
protect Prosser (who was not at that time supposed to be fatally 
injured) from arrest and removal from the county. Such a condi- 
tion of things as that depicted in these statements is hardly better 
than one of open war, and in this case, as in every other, seems to 
have been wantonly produced by disloyal men in the gratification 
of their dislike of those who sustained the war and the Govern- 
ment. The pretext occasionally given for assembling under arms 



282 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

that they desired to protect themselves ngainst arbitrary arrests, 
was futile to excuse such action, and could have no application to 
the abuse and expulsion of loyal citizens from their homes. 

In Noble county, informnlion was given to the Governor, Feb- 
ruary 3d, 1863, Ihat the '^Knights of the Golden Circle," more gen- 
erally known afterwards as the "Sons of Liberty," were fully "or- 
ganized and armed, and talked freely of the prospect of a war here 
at home in case the Southern Confederacy is not recognizi^d, and 
'Old Abe- persists in his emancipation scheme. They publicly and 
boldly declare that no deserter sh;dl be arrested here; that the Abo- 
litionists are to be exterminated, and that tlie Northwestern States 
are to form a government by themselves." 

As early as May ISih, 18(51, but a month after the attack on Fort 
Sumter, the disloyal citizens of Wayne county had excited the 
serious suspicions of the community, and fears were entertained of 
their procuring arms from the State, under a false pretense of doing 
militia duty, which would, at the proper time, be used ft)r their 
real purpose, in aid of the rebellion. The Governor was warned, 
and subsequent parade of disloyal strength showed that the 
danger was both greater and nearer than would have been sus- 
pected by any but those thoroughly informed of the feelings of the 
faction. In 1863, about one hundred of them, members of the 
"Sons of Liberty," of Abington township, Wayne county, 
marched fully armed inio the town of Cambridge City, and took 
possession of it. Their first object was to defeat the draft. 
General Hascjuj-, then in command of the State, arrested several 
of them. So bold and lawless a demonstration indicated the con- 
sciousness of great strength, and recklessness enough to use it. 

On October 3d, 1862, Governor Morton received a notification 
from Fountain county, that " in Jackson and Cain townships, the 
draft will be resisted. The leaders are desperate men, and they 
say the streets shall be drenched in blood before a man shall go 
from the township. It is the headquarters of the Knights of the 
Golden Circle," Another warning, from the same county, says 
"there is a secret organization, embracing parts of Fountain, 
Parke and Montgomery counties, for the purpose of resisting the 
draft. It can muster one thousand men. They are well armed 
with small arms and squirrel rifles, and have one small cannon. 
The Union men are much excited, and are insuring their houses 
and barns for fear of incendiarism." An affidavit accompanied

these letters, setting forth the language of one of tlie local leaders 
of the hostile movernent. lie asked the crowd if tliey would 
"stand such a thing," (the draft). Cries of "no," " tiever," re- 
sponded. He then said: " RatJier than stand this, or see niv 
countrymen stand it, I would see every spear of grass in .Jackson 
township drip with blood." Sncii language from leaders and 
newspapers very often fanned a simple spark of dissatisfaction into 
a violent flame of disaffection, and produced that hostility to U>yal 
men, which so long and so painfully disturbed the peace of the 
State. 

In August, 1864, Washington county, notoriously a center of 
disloyal feeling, was in so turbulent a condition that the friends of 
the Government were in constant dread of an insurrection. One of 
them writes: " Many Union people are very uneasy, and some v(M-y 
much alarmed. We have no means of self-protection. The Sons 
of Liberty are all armed, and they are so numerous that the Union 
people would like to know if the Government is taking any steps 
to prevent the unarmed in this quarter from being overpowered." 

Early in June, 1863, about twenty-five soldiers of the Thirty- 
Third Regiment were in the town of Williamsport, W^arren 
county, on furlough. They attended a ball at a hotel in the place, 
during which a quarrel arose between the landlord and the officer 
in command. Tlie hotel bell was rung as a signal, and imme- 
diately a crowd of twenty-five to fifty, who had been waiting, ap- 
rently for some such difHculty, in the outskirts of the town, rushed 
in and attacked such of the soldiers as were outside of the hotel. 
One of the soldiers was shot in the shoulder, and several other 
shots were fired, but without further injury. The atlair was of no 
great consequence, but it showed the disturbed condition of the 
])lace, and the eagerness of the disloyal faction for a collision with 
soldiers. 

In December, 1863, notice was sent to the Executive offue, of 
preparations to resist the draft in counties along the Ohio Kiver. 
The scheme was, for the men who were drafted, to use the arms 
given them, where they had a fair chance, against the forces of the 
government. No attempt of this kind was made, chiefly, no doubt^ 
for the reason that the quotas of our State, and of the greater part 
of the Northwest, wore so largely filled by volunteers tliat the 
drafted men were too few to make a hostile demonstration, even if 
they had been so inclined. 



284 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

In August, 1S64, full information was given Governor Morton 
of the purchase of arms in Grandview, Spencer county, for distri- 
bution among the Sons of Liberty, and similar warnings were 
sent from all quarters of the State. Arms had been very exten- 
sively purchased at that time, and there were probably very few 
even of the most insignificant "lodges" of Sons of Liberty tliat 
did not possess a fair proportion of arms. Rebel money was lib- 
erally furnished for this purpose, as was afterwards declared on 
oath by one of the chief men of the Order. Sullivan and Knox 
counties were among the most intoleral)ly infested districts of the 
State. From the very commencement of the Rebellion, the dis- 
loyal feeling there had been forward and zealous in displaying itself 
and annoying its opponents. When in 1862 a car was placed on 
a side track at the town of Sullivan, close enough to strike a pass- 
ing train in which Governor Mortox was going to the Ohio river 
to look after wounded soldiers, by which Professor Miles J. 
Flf.tchior, Superintendent of Public Instruction, was instantly 
killed, so notorious was the hostility of the people of the county to 
the war and the government, that suspicions were instantly and 
universally formed that the collision was no accident. An investi- 
gation before a Grand Jury composed of rebel sympathizers, and 
prosecuted by an attorney of the same kind, discovered no evidence 
of guilt anywhere, but the suspicion remains, and will remain as 
long as the untimely and lamentable death of Professor Flktcukr 
is remembered. 

In Sullivan the few loyal citizens who dared to avow their ad- 
hesion to the government were persecuted with a vindictiveness to 
which no parallel can be found elsewhere in the North. Their 
barns and harvests were burned, and notices fastened to their gate- 
posts of the purpose to burn their houses next time. The follow- 
ing is a literal copy of one of these notices: "September the 1st, 
1865, now point out citizens to be arrested, and the next time you 
will fill a traitors grave. I have burned two damd abolitionest 
and if John Fox is not releast in ten days from date and restored 
to his fan)ily I will burn out to more this arresting of civil cittizens 
must and shall be stopped." A letter to the commandant of the 
District dated the day after this notice, shows how faithfully its 
daring threats were fulfilled. It says: " Wm. Osborn's wheat 
stacks and hay have been burned — about five hundred bushels of 
wheat. Notices left of further intentions. On the same night. 



OUTRAGES IN SULLIVAN. 285 

Charles McDonald's barn was burnt, and notices left on \hc gate 
post." Mr. McDoNAF-D himself writes that on the niglit of the 1st 
of September, about eleven o'clock, he was alarnicd from his sleep 
by a large fir*; blazing from his frame stable and two large hay 
stacks. All were utterly destroyed. During the latter part of the 
summer of 18G4, outrages, robberies, and incendiary iires, were of 
constant occurrence. John Miller of Cass townshi|), was visited 
by a large body of men, wdio attacked him, and, after a severe re- 
sistance, overpowered and robbed him of $300 in money and a gun. 
John Puice of Hamilton township, was also visited at liis house in 
the night by a band of rebel sympathizers, and robbed of 8500 in 
money. Dr. William Cobb, of Jasonsville, Greene county, was 
similarly visited and robbed of a small sum of money. Greenlurv 
Price, a merchant of the same place, was called to his store in the 
night by a similar gang of disloyalists, and robbed of $300 to |>400. 
Mrs. Barney Sausermann, whose husband was in the army, was 
likewise visited and robbed by the same class of patriots. She re- 
sided in Cass township, Suliivaii county. The same men broke 
into and robbed the railroad depot in the town of Sullivan. TIk,^ 
pay train on the Evansville and Crawfordsville Railroad w^as thrown 
from the track and robbed in full daylight, near the town of Sulli- 
van. Marion Miller of Cass townsliip, was twice stopped on the 
public highway within three miles of the county seat, and robbed 
of small sums of money. Nelson Sissox, of Jackson township, 
was robbed of $150 and upw^ards. William Osbohn's wdieat and 
hay were burned (as already noticed,) loss #2,000. John McKees, of 
Hamilton township, had his l:)arn and stables burned, wnlh a num- 
ber ot horses and a bull, wagons, a carriage and his farming im|)l{> 
ments in them; loss about 6^3,000. John Miller, of Cass town- 
ship, had his house burned, and his Ijarn set on lire; tlie latter w^as 
saved. Green C. Gardner, of Hamilton township, had his stable 
burned* A Methodist church in .Jefferson township was burned. 

These are not a record, but a sample, of the outrages that were 
practised upon loyal men, solely because they were loyal, in the 
county of Sullivan and vicinity, ilia few wrecks of the sumnuM-of 1864. 
A number of the ardent opponents of the Qovernment, engaged in 
them were arrested. Some twenty-two were indicted, but none 
w-ere ever brought to trial. Most of them broke jail, with very little 
difficulty, and all escaped in some way or other, as it wasquiie cer- 
tain from the beginning they would do. Most of the Union men 



286 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

throughout the infected regions were notified to leave the coiiniry, 
under penalty of severe punishment. Many did leave, and some 
never returned. 

In Knox county, a deserter from the Twenty-Third Regiment by 
the name of Jamsos Willis, assisted oy two brothers, Gkoiu;e and 
Adam Robinson, and by several of the disloyal citizens of the 
neighborhood, established their headquarters in Widner township, 
at a house where he was harbored, procured a quantity of am- 
munition and several pistols and otlier arms, called liis refuge " Fort 
Robinson," and prepared deliberately to defy the law and resist 
any force sent to arrest him, or suppress the hostile operations of 
the band. Captain McCoh.micic, of the Sullivan county Legion, 
wnth fourteen men, was sent to arrest him. He was found con- 
cealed in a stable, refused to surrender when commanded, and fired 
upon the guard, wounding a young man named Kimberlain? 
severely. The outlaw was tlien shot and mortally wounded. The 
Robinsons were arrested. The Sons of Liberty were in great force 
in that vicinity, as they were in so many other portions of that sec- 
tion of the State, and loyal men fared little better than in Sullivan 
county. 

The following extracts from the General Orders of two of the 
Commandants of the State will show how disturbed and perilous 
was the condition of the country at that time. On the lith of 
April, 18()3, General Cahrington's order said : *' In some portions 
of the State citizens have been warned to leave their homes, under 
penalty of severe handling and the burning of their buildings. The 
legitimate result, already predicted, of the habit of wearing con- 
cealed weapons, has been demonstrated in the loss of several lives 
and no little pro]:)erty. Let no citizen, under any threat, desert his 
home or sacrifice his property. Let him remain at all hazards.'' 
On the Gth of October, 1864, General Hovey, said in an address to 
the people of the State : " Recent developments clearly show that 
a secret armed association exists in this State, formed for the pur- 
])ose of aiding the rebellion against the United States. The 
primary object of this dangerous association is to break down the 
i:»ower of the present administration in the prosecution of the war, 
and aid the rebellion by force, fraud and violence. For this pur- 
j)ose, large numbers of rebels from the armies of the South, under 
the name and guise of Refugees, have been sent to this State to 
co-operate with this treasonable association. Arms and aramuni-

tion, to a large amount, liave been secretly imported and piai-ed in 
the haiid.s of these bid men, aiid, iinh-ss their designs are speedily 
checked, ruin and the desohition lh;vt follows in tiie footsteps of 
war will soon spread throughout the State. In the counties of 
Martin, Orange, Crawford, Mar.-h;dl, and other localities they have 
concentrated by hundreds, defied the laws, fired upon and killed 
enrolling oliicers and wounded law-abiding citizens, and robbed 
them of their property, wiih the avowed determinaiion of aiding 
the rebellion. This cannot continue without civil warin our mid>t.'' 

Outbreaks, in resistance of the laws, were frequent and somc>- 
times i'atal. On the lOih of January, 1S63, a detachment of cav- 
alry sent to arrest some deserters near Waverly, in Johnson county, 
was Ijred upon by a company of disloyal citizens and Sons of 
LibiM'ty. 

On the 1st of June, 1863, several deserters were forcibly rescued 
from their guard, in Nobh' tt)wnship, Jay county. 

At the first draft in October, 186'i, in Blackford county, th(> com- 
missioners box was seized, dashed upon the floor and trampled to 
pieces, to the delight of the disloyal citizens who crovvded the 
room and witnessed and encouraged the outrage. 

June 12th, 1863, the enrollment for the draft in Johnson 
county was resisted by armed men. 

June 15th, IbQo, fifty armed men attacked the residence of James 
Sill, the enrolling officer of Marion township, Putnam county, and 
demanded the enrollment paj)ers. When refused, they fired into 
the house about sixty times, and retired without the papers. At 
the same time, the enrollment books and papers w^ere destroyed in 
JelTerson township, of the same county. During the same we^dv, 
the books of Cloverdale township, same county, were stolen. 

June 15ih, 1853, the enrolling officer of Whitestown, Boone 
county, v\'as resisted by a company of rioters, and thrc^atened v.ith 
violence if he persisted in doing his duty. 

June 18th, Flktcukr FiuoiiIMan, the enrolling officer of Cass 
township, Sullivan county, was shot by concealed assassins and in- 
stantly killed wdiile ( ngaged in the performance of his duty. This 
cruel and cowardly murder was widl understood in the vicinity to 
have been committed by the Sons of Liberty. 

June 11th, the enrolling ofiieer of Waterloo township, Fayette 
county, was shot at while in the discharge of his duty. 

June 10th, Hon. J. Frank Sti:vi:ns, late a Senator from 



288 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

DcH'.atnr county, while acting as assistant enrolling officer, was shot 
and killed near Manilla, while engaged in completing the enroll- 
ment of Walker township, Rush county. A man named 
CuAYcuAFT, the enrolling officer, who was with him, was severely 
wounded at ihe same time. A short time before this tragical oc- 
currence a disloyal paper j)ublished in Rushville had warned all 
draft officers "to insure their lives,'' and indulged in such aj^peals 
and denunciations as were well calculated, probably intended, to 
produce such consequences. 

About the 20th of June, resistance was made to the enrollment 
of Indian Creek township, Monroe county, and' the papers were 
destroyed. 

At about the same time the draft oflicers of Daviess county were 
warned not to enroll it. On the 3d of October, 1864, Captain Eli 
McCarty, while serving notices on drafted men in that county, 
was murdered by Sons of Liberty concealed in the woods through 
which he had to pass. His body was thrown into the river and not 
discovered for several days. 

In the early part of the summer of 1863, these outrages had 
had become so frequent, and the disorder of the communities in 
which they were perpetrated so great and so rapidly extending, 
that the authorities were forced to take steps to check them. On 
thellth day of June, Governor Morton issued a proclamation* 
setting forth the law in regard to obstructions of the draft and the 
penaliies incurred by those who took part in them. He also 
alluded to the systematic attempts then being made by the " Knights 
of the Golden Circle," and their friends, to bring the Government 
into contempt and excite hostility to it by denunciations of its 
measures. His admonitions were timely, calm, and not without 
effect. He said: " The right of the people peaceably to assemble 
and petition for a redress of grievances and speak and publish 
their opinions touching the policy of the Government, or the con- 
duct of tlu; war, must be respected and the enjoyment of it pro- 
tected. But there is a wide difference between the legitimate exer- 
cise of this right and the unbridled license of speech which seeks 
by the assertion of the most atrocious falsehoods to exasperate the 
people to madness and drive them into a position of neutrality 
betweeyi their Government and the rebels, if not into the very arms 
of the rebellion, combine them into dangerous societies, provoke

them to resist the laws, and thus contribute directly to weaken oin- 
own (Tovernment, and strengthen the cause of the enemy. The 
criticism of one who is friendly to the Government, and who is 
anxious that it shall succeed and be preserved, and who points ont 
its errors in onh'r that they may be corrected, is wholly ditrv-ieni 
from tliat denunciation which seeks to brinij; the Government into 
contempt and render it odious to the people, thereby withdiawino- 
from it that natural support so necessary to its life, when struo-- 
gliiig vvith a powerful enemy.*' 

Some of the men suspected of being concerned in the murders, 
and known to be -participants and planners of the outrages, in Sul- 
livan county, were arrested by order of the military commandant 
of this State and District. Andrew Humphreys, cf Greene county, 
was arrested and tried (as will be more fully related hereafter) for 
treason and exciting resistance to the law^s of the United States 
The successful termination of the war tnade the Government in- 
different not only to the danger these men, and the order they be- 
longed to, had threatened, but to the mischief they had done or in- 
cited, atid they were allowed to resume their forfeited rights \\'ithout 
interference. The first use made of them was to bring suit early 
in 18G6, in the Sullivan Circuit Court, against Captain McCokmick 
and his men, wdio executed the order of arrest, for damages for 
false imprisonment. The suit was, of course, entirely groundless. 
Both Judge and jury knew that no suit could be rightfully brought 
against a subordinate officer for obeying the command of his supe- 
rior. An act of Congress had made express provision for such 
cases; and, to prevent the wrong that might be done to an officer 
or soldier for the simple discharge of his duty, by the political 
prejudices and exasperations of disloyal neighborhoods, had pro- 
vided for the transfer of all suits on such subjects to the United 
States Court. The law w^as clear and peremptory, the utter base- 
lessness of the suits obvious. The defendants filed a petition for 
the removal of their cases to the United States Court. The 
.ludge, whose rebel sympathies were never concealed even on 
the bench, refused it in plain defiance of the law. The 
cases were tried before a jury. Humphreys was awarded 
twenty-five thousand dollars' damages. Another man obtained 
five hundred dollars' damages. These cases serve to illustrate 
forcibly the lawless character of the feeling which predominated in 
these disloyal neighborhoods. Even more clearly than personal

outrages do snch deliberate violations of oaths and law?, on the 
part of court and jnry, demonstrate how firmly fixed such a com- 
munity must have been in its !>ympathy with the rebellion. What 
was done in Sullivan would doubtless have been done in many 
other counties in the State ,had not the Legislature passed an act, 
for the protection of soldiers in such cases. Disseminate into hun- 
dreds of townships the spirit that, in defiant disregard of law, fast- 
ened ruinous damages upon a soldier for doing his duty; poison 
every community more or less d(>eply with it; see it bursting out in 
fires, robberies, expulsion of loyal men from their homes, in mur- 
ders of Government ofiicers, destroying their papers, in rescuing or 
protecting deserters, and one can form some idea of this class of 
the dilficultics which the disloyal element threw in the way of the 
prosecution of the war. 

In October 1864, Brigadier General Hknuy Jordan, of the " Le- 
gion," discovtM-cd an extensive and dangerous conspiracy in Craw- 
ford and Orange counties. In his official report he says: 

"I iTn;ard the late troubles in Craivfonl <iu«l Oranci^e counties as a miserable fail- 
ure of an extensive conspiracy. I base this opinion upon the iollowing laet?: 1st 
Information, of a reliable chai'actcr, receis-ed more than four weeks ago, that the 
guerrillas in Kentucky were disbanding and coming, one at a time, to the Indiana 
side. 2d. Positive evidence that a large number of guerrillas have actually been 
among us for several -weeks. 3d. Information Irom an officer of the 'Sons of Lib- 
erty,' wlio did not wish to involve his family and property in civil war, that it had 
been determined by that organization to resist the draft, and that five hundred guer- 
rillas from Kentucky — many of whom were already amongst us — were to co-operate. 
4th. Confessions of the prisoners, who state that the uprising was to be general, and 
that they expected to receive heavy reinforcements from other counties. 

"From the testimony taken by my staff-officers, during and since the difficultici'. 
I am led to the belief that not more than three hundred persons were engaged in 
actual hostilities. The rioters were divided into small bands, the largest that I could 
hear of numbering seventj-five men. The ring-leaders were guerrillas from 
Kentucky, whose object was plunder. They seemed to care but little about the 
draft, and only used it to obtain assistance in their nefarious scheme. Wlien the 
movement failed they escaped, carrying off, aa the prisoners say, the entire pro- 
ceeds of the robberies, and leaving their dupes. to suffer for their crimes. Some 
escaped to Kentucky, and others to the disloyal portions of the State. I think that 
at least fifty persons were robbed by these men. Most of the stolen horses were 
recovered. The number of prisoners taken by my forces was about forty. Some 
of these, against whom I could find no testimony, I released. I delivered seven 
conscripts, who had been engaged in the affair, to Colonel Merrtw^ether, Provost 
Marshal of this District. I sent ninety-one citizens, who had participated in it, to 
Major General Hovey, as directed by you. 

" The evidence against most of them is very strong, many of them having con- 
fessed that they participated in the robberies and resistance to the draft. 1 arresfeed

ctTort might be made to relieve them, petitioned me, in writing, to send them to 
some military po.-.t for confinement. The people living near the scene of this dis- 
turbance, being apprehensive of further violent proceedings, I stationed Captain 
Aydei.otte's company (L, Sixth Regiment.) at Hartford, with orders to remain 
there until quiet was restored. I will communicate, in a formal ri'port, the opera- 
tions of the forces under my command during this disturbance. 

" I am satisfied that the prompt action of the militia force had the efiect to deter 
many persons from participating in this disturbance, and that if a lai'ge force had 
not promptly confronted the robbers, the afiair woukl have assiniieil a more alarm- 
ing as[)ect. The credit of assembling our forces is mainly due to my subordinate 
officers, who, in many cases, had mustered their commands and gone in pursuit be- 
fore my orders reached them. There were no cafualties. One or tv.'o of my men 
had their clothes pierced by balls fired at them." 

General Jordan also furni.shcc], for the use of the authorities, 
specimens of the testimony and confessions of a number of citi- 
zens who were engaged in tlie conspiracy, as follows : 

" The prisoners Avere brought into a room, one at a time, and questioned by Gen- 
eral Jordan and Colonel Woodbuky. They were not sworn, and all their con- 
fessions were voluntary. Each prisoner was assured that he would not be com- 
pelled to disclose anything against his own Avill. The examination was public. Such 
citizens as wished to enter the room were admitted, and allowed to listen to the 
questions and answers. 

"Junius LoMAX lives in Greenfield township, Orange county; states that he 
is a drafted man, that he went to Wilhamsburg, in Orange county, where he heard 
that the drafted men were going to resist the draft. Georgk Coffman, of 
Floyd county, made a speech, and advised the di'afted men to resist. At another 
meeting, held south of Williamsburg, Saturday evening, October 1st, John All. 
STOTT, of Crawford county, advised us to resist. The guns taken from the Guards 
were taken through spite. I took a gun from Valentine Cook, of the Valeeii 
Home Guards. I was along when Patterson Apple was arrested and robbed 
of liis pistol. A good many of the drafted men were present at these meetings. A 
number of strangers were also present. I understood that some of them were from 
Kentucky. A man named L\Ncn, from Harrison county, was present. John W. 
Stone had been through there, advising the men to resist the draft. JacoisC ook 
took the lead in disarming Valentine Cook. Heimeneu Seibolt took the 
lead in taking the pistol from Patterson Apple. 

" William Sanders resides in Sterling township, Crawford county. I saw 
that something was going to be done. My son James was along with the crowd 
and I wanted to get him away from them. I overtook some of them near Bel- 
cher's. Before we got to E. H. Golden's there were at least thirty men present. 
There were seven men present that I can swear to, namely : Union McMickle, 
Bob Allen, John Allstott, James Sanders, Thomas Heigufield, John

McKabe, Bex. Browx and Benton Newkirk. They told me tliey were 
going to j^ress Golden's money and Iiorses. Don't know what they got, as I took 
no hand in the robbery. I saw Golden's wife, but did not tell her that I Jiad 
nothing to do with it. I did not see the Goldens. They pressed a horse and a 
l^istol in another place. Allstott told me that if I ever told it my life was at 
stake. Just as I was in the act of starling home I heard them say that they knew 
of several rich hauls. I was at the Post office in Brownstown on Thursday. There 
was a good deal of talk about seizing the gunsof tlie Home Guards. I heard Ben. 
Brown and Benton Newkirk hurrah for Jeff. Davis. The crowd was of un~ 
usual size — fifty men or more. The robbers used nicknames, and it being dark I 
only knew those I saw inside at Golden's house. 

"Lorenzo D. Knight, resident of Patoka township, Crawford county. lama 
member of the Knights of the Golden Circle. The signs General Jordan gave 
me are all right. When Morgan was last in Kentucky they told me that if he 
came over here he would help us and we would help him. We were to seize 
horses in the neighborhood to mount ourselves. They cursed Lincoln bitterly. 
Dr. Bowles was a General in the order. I heard Horace Heffren's name 
frequently. We were to get help from Harrison county in resisting th.e draft. 
They were to put the Woods, CuMMiNGSand Goldens outof the'way. There was 
talk of robbing Bill Ray, who was understood to have a large sura of money 
about him. I was with !McMickle, Allstott and comjjany, when they went to 
rob CuMMiNGS on Friday morning. I understood that a majority of the people of 
my county were ' Knights.' I have heard Jesse McWilliajis denounce the 
President, etc. Kinsey Livingstone and Perry Knight asked me to join the 
K. G. C. I saw at their meetings James Sanders, John Mason, Eltsiia 
Mason, Tim. Mason, John Knight, William Sanders, Larkin Lank- 
ford, Henry Strand, Duval L. Broon, Jesse Cuzzant, Tim. Belcher, 
Joel Newkirk and Jonathan Newkirk. The most of these men were at 
Kendal's store, in Orange county, on Saturday, October 1st. I voted to resist 
the draft at a meeting at Ziou's Hollow, near Brownstown. This meeting was held 
on Thursday evening, September 29th. I think a majority voted not to resist the 
draft. Those who voted not to resist the draft said they had failed to get the as- 
sistance from other counties that they expected. Frank Enlow said he would 
not report if drafted. I was with them at Golden's when he was robbed. We 
did not get as much money as we expected. I think our leaders got all the money 
Elias Corby, of Orange, was also at Golden's. 

'• Joseph E. Allen, resides In Sterling township, Crawford county. I heard 
Union McMickle say he intended to use James Sloan up, and kill Woods, 
CuMMiNGS, and Joseph Miller, at the risk of his life. The man that went un- 
der the name of Bob Allen was tiot Bob Allen. The rioters said they were op- 
posed to the milk-and-water policy of Jim Lemonds, (County Clerk,) and Mart 
Tucker, (Sheriff",) and would have a policy of their own. I voted to resist the 
draft. We understood that there were three hundred of our men in camp in Har- 
rison countv. There were men from Kentucky with us. Don't know anything 
about the firing that was done at Colonel Johnson's regiment. So far as I know, 
a!l the rioters belong to the K. G. C.

was the general understanding that the ballot-boxes were to be stuffed ; 'also, tliat 
all the strangers among us had the right to vote." 

Besides cases of actual violence, frequent displays of military 
slrc^ngth were made. The secret order of "Knights of the Golden 
Circle,'' or '' Sons of Liberty,'' was essentially a military organiza- 
tion, and, though its drilling and mustering were generally done 
after night and secretly, it seems to have been thought advisable at 
times to make a public show, probably to inspire confidence in its 
strengtli and obtain recruits, and possibly to overawe the loyal men 
of the vicinity. Such a display was made in Clay county, near 
Brazil, in 1864, and it was proclaimed in advance that no Govern- 
ment officer or troops should interfere with it. The opinion seemed 
to be quite general that it was the purpose of the Order to pro- 
voke a collision with the Government. Colonel Streight, with a 
detachment of troops, was sent to the place and dispersed the 
crowd, numbering some two or three hundred men, though not 
without a good n^any demonstratiojis of hostility, that confirmed 
the suspicious previously formed of the motive of the atfair. Simi- 
lar displays were made in various counties, greatly alarming quiet 
and loyal citizens, and contributing to the zeal of the rebels on the 

Kentucky border, whose movements so long kept our side of the 

Ohio river in a state of disquiet and danger. 

SECRET TREASONABLE A SSO C I A TIOX S . 

Allu:-ions have been frequently made in this Report to a secret 
treasonable society, sometimes called the " Knights of the Golden 
Circle," and sometimes the "Sons of Liberty." The disordered 
condition of the State in 1SG2, 18!i3, and 1864; the disloyal dem- 
onsiralions against the Government, both among the people and in 
the Legislature ; the encouragement and protection of desertion ; 
the maltreatment of loyal citizens; the resistance to the laws and 
murder of oliicers acting under the laws, have been attributed to its 
exertions or its influeiice. An examination of its character and 
history will satisfy any intelligent person that no ntore than the 
truth, hardly the v\holc truth, has been expressed in ihese allega- 
tions. Its existence and machinations are no suspicions of timid 
victims or vindictive enemies, but the revelations of its own mem- 
bers, confessions of the plotters of its most infamous acts, dis- 
closures of those who were familiar with its history and actions. 



294 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

No crime was ever so fully established by such indisputable evi- 
dence as the existence and purposes of this monstrous conspiracy. 
It forms the most appalling spectacle of the war. The battles and 
bloodshed, tlie desolation and mourning, that follow the march of 
hostile forces, are appreciable inflictions, wdiose length and breadth 
and weight, can be measured and the necessary strength summoned 
to bear them ; but who can measure the terrors of a perfidious plot, 
a treacherous combination that reaches into every State, into every 
community, that destroys the confidence of society, that may 
strike at anv moment and anywhere, that scatters fire and fear 
through the country without exposing the hand that does it, that 
uses murder as an ordinary tool, and plans massacres as political 
expedients? Its existence and actions n:!ake the blackest page in 
the history of our country. 

THE SONS OF LIB E R T Y. 
This organization, at first generally known as the " Knights of 
the Golden Circle," was merely an adaptation to the purposes of 
the rebellion of an association, with the same name, that had been 
maintaitied for several years in the South, with a few branches in 
the Northern Slates, for the promotion of riUibiislering schemes. 
In its later and more dangerous form, it undoubtedly took its rise 
among the rebels about the time the secession movement was in- 
augurated. It spread thence to the disaflected of the border Slavt> 
States, and speedily afterwards to the North West. It is but con- 
sistent with all known facts of its existence and operations to be- 
lieve that it contributed, in no slight degree, to induce the rebels to 
begin the war, not only by the direct encouragement of its own as- 
surances of help, but by constant coiuinunication of the feelings of 
the people of the North. That the South was well informed of 
the divisions and hesitations here, which for a time gave so auspicious 
an appearance to the rebellion, is well known, and that the inform- 
ation should be conveyed by emissaries of an Order with the same 
organization, aims and name in both sections, is too probable to be 
easily doubted. That it existed here, from the very beginning of 
the war, in some form, may be set down as a fact. Within a month 
after the attack on Fort Sumter, as already stated in a preeeeding 
portion of this report, its existence was strongly suspected in 
Wayne county, and measures taken to counteract its operations. 
But during the greater part of the year 1861, the patriotic indigna- 
tion of the country was too fierce and universal to allow it to make 
any but the most secret and stealthy efforts. The delays and dis- 



TUE SONS OF LIBERTY. 295 

•asters tiiat followed, creating a limited but decided rcaciion agaiiiiit 
the war feeling, opened an opportunity for more vigorous action, 
and the denunciations of the war, and tlie alleged unconstitution- 
ality of the measures for its prosecution, whicli then began to at- 
tract attention, were most probably the inspiration of its lodges 
and consultations. It spread rapidly, and in May, 1SG2, its mem- 
bers, in this State, were estimated by themselves to number fifteen 
thousand. Its operations becoming bolder, were speedily traced 
home. The Grand Jury of tlic United States Circuit Court, at the 
May term, iyG2, found it so dangerous in its plans to re>i.-t or 
thwart the enlistment of volunteers, and the payment of national 
taxes, that they were compelled to make a thorough investigation 
of its character. Their inquiries extended over a period of stn-eral 
. weeks. They summoned witnesses from every part of the State, 
where indications of its existence were reported. They say '• 
" These witnesses came from ujany counties and lived in various 
parts of the State," and that the facts learned from " those having 
a personal knowledge of the matters, constrain them to say that a 
secret oath-bound organization exists, numbering some fifteen 
thousand in Indiana, as estimated by members of the Order, com- 
n)only Jcnown as Knights of the Golden Circle, but even in the 
same localities by diHercnt names. Their lodges, or castles as they 
denominate them, are located in various parts of the State, yet they 
have connnon signs, grips and words whereby the members are all 
able to distinguish each other, and pass M^ords to enable the mem- 
ber to enter the castle in which he was initiated, or any other 
which he may choose to visit. They have signals l)y whicii they 
can communicate with each other by day or night, and, above all, 
they have a signal or sign whi(;h may be recognized at a great dis- 
tance from tlie i)erson giving it. This last signal was invented for 
the use of such members as shojuld by means of draft, or otlurc'ise, 
be compelled to serve in the ranks of the army. ]n such case 
members of the Order serving in opposing armies are reminded of 
the obligation not to injiu'c the member giving it. Upon the sig- 
nal being given, if they shoot at all, they shoot over each other. 
Many members of the Order exannned before us, admit the bind- 
ing force of the obligation, and pretend to justify it as correct in 
principle." After alluding to the tillibustering origin of the Order, 
the Grand Jury says: "Since that time it has made alarming 
progress in our midst, with entirely new features attached to it, in 



296 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

view of (ho unnatural conflict now desolating the country. Not 
only are the loyal soldiers of the army to be treacherously betrayed 
in the bloody hour of battle, by the signals before referred to, but 
the Grand Jury have abundant evidence of the membership bind- 
ing themselves to resist the payment of the Federal tax and to {pre- 
vent enlistments in the armies of the United States. It is a fact 
worthy of note, and conclusively shown, that in localities where 
this organization extensively prevails there has been a failure to 
furnish a fair proportion of volunteers. Slid Grand Jury, after 
a thorough examination on that point, have been unable to find 
any instance wiicre a member of said organization had volunteered 
to fight for the Union under the late requisition for volunteers." 
And furtlier, that "in many cases individuals, after their first intro- 
duction into the Order, seeing its evil tendencies, have abandoned 
it. Since the Grand Jury began the investigation it has been dis- 
covered that the Order exists among the prisoners of war now in 
Camp Morton, who refuse to testify, upon the ground that it may 
implicate the members of tlieir Order in Indiana, and thereby in- 
jure the cause of the Southern Confederacy." These prisoners no 
doubt were members of the Order at home, and were fully in- 
formed of its existence here long before General GJrant sent them 
up from Fort Donelson into closer contact with their friends. The 
signs spoken of by the Grand Jury, they ascertained wert^ to be 
used, in case of legal prosecutions, to get members of the Order 
on the jury. This evidence, they significantly add, "was, in most 
cases, drawn from unwilRng witnesses." 

This report was published on the 4th of August, 18o2. An ex- 
posure so complete, an'l made upon evidence so indisputable, 
alarmed all loyal men. Tiie rapidly increasing swarms of deserters, 
the letters of relatives urging desertion and promising protection 
which were returned home ibr publication by the soldiers, the dis- 
turbances which had already broken out in many places, the 
frequent purchases of arms, the preparations made to resist or de- 
feat the draft which was approaching, all seemed tokens of a do- 
mestic war in aid of the rebellion. The success of the disloyal fac- 
tion in the elections of that year, chiefly accomplished through this 
organization, intensified these apprehensions. As the time for the 
meeting of the Legislature approached, the air became thick with 
rumors of revolutionary projects which the event proved were but 
too well founded. Armed bands of the Knights were expected to 



RECONSTRUCTION OF THE SECRET ORDER. 297 

take possession of the arsenal and public stores, and execute any 
order of the Legislature deposing the Governor or overturning the 
State government. The release of the rebel prisoners was antici- 
pated. There was in fact no measure of mischief or anarchy that 
was not deemed within the schemes of the Order and of the Lea^is- 
lature which was controlled by it. How well the Legihslature on 
its part justified these apprehensions has been fully shown in the 
armistice and peace resolutions, and the Military Board Bill, of 
that body. 

The existence of the Order was frequently asserted by the loyal 
members of the Legislature dm*ing the session. The members who 
belonged to it sometimes denied it positively, and sometimes 
admitted and palliated it. iThey knew of associations, they 
said, but they were neither treasonable nor illegal. They 
were formed solely for protection against arbitrary arrests. The 
admi.^sion of the existence of the Order was enough. Its 
character could be judged from its acts. Its members had de- 
stroyed the draft box in Blackford county. They had fired on the 
cavalry squadron sent to arrest deserters in Johnson county. They 
had openly and repeatedly declared their detersniiiation to allow no 
draft in a score of other counties. The revelations of the Grand 
Jury were but predictions closely followed by the fulfillment. 

In April, 1863, a month affer the adjournment of the Legisla- 
ture, the commission appointed to investigate tlie fatal riot in Brov/n 
county, already noticed in another place, examined several wit- 
nesses who testified to the existence of the Order, its secrecy, its 
possession of arms and its military drills. Its grips, pass-words 
and signs soon became public property. The disasters, following- 
close upon each other's heels, which the rebellion encountered dur- 
ing Ihe summer of 1863, the separation of the Western from the 
Eastern division, the loss of the Mississippi river, the conquest of 
all the States upon its eastern bank, the fatal defeat of Gettysburg, 
the bloody repulse of Helena, the defeat of Morgan's raid and the 
utter annihilation of his army, restored the hopes and spirits of the 
country, and this renewal of the war feeling, co-operating with the 
wide-spread exposure of the Order, so loaded it with odium as to 
daunt its boldness and repress its activity. It was deemed neces- 
sary, by the leaders, to reorganize it and reconstruct its mysteries, 
to make it more secret, and place its members more absolutely un- 
der the control of the chiefs. It was reorganized under the name 
of the " Order of American Knights," or " O. A. K.," and was 



298 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

called frequently the '' Host," the " Mighty Host" and " Circle of 
Honor." This change was made in the fall of 1863. 

Through the connivance of business houses in various 
parts of the State, and particularly one or two in the Capital, 
arms were smuggled into the State and distributed to the 
members in great numbers. The object was alarmingly apparent. 
The result might be fatal where feelings were so highly exasper- 
ated. General Henry B. Carrixgton, who was ap()ointed to the 
command of the District of Indiana in March, 1863, at once took 
measures to prohibit this dangerous movement. He issued an 
order restricting the sale of arras, and the efforts of men of all par- 
ties were solicited to assist in making the order cflective by dis- 
countenancing the arming of their friends. Still the treasonable 
conspiracy continued its work against the peace of the State 
and the safety of the Nation. 

Close correspondence was kept up with the rebels, not only at 
this time, but through the whole war. When the outbreaks oc- 
curred in eastern Illinois, — which assumed almost the proportions, 
and were undoubtedly guided by the purpose, of an insurrection, — 
the leaders of the Order checked them, beeause they were informed 
that the rebel forces W'ere net prepared at the time to give the sup- 
port promised. The authorities here learned this fact from various 
sources in Canada, Illinois and Michigan. 

Several days before Forrest advanced upon Paducah, General 
Cauhingtox had information from detectives that the Order in Illi- 
nois knew of his coming, and expected him to cross into that State 
and support a general insurrection. His defeat at Paducah spoiled 
the project, which, in case of his success, might have proved a most 
formidable auxiliary of the rebellion. In the spring of 1864, when 
Morgan entered Pound Gap to invade Kentucky, early information 
of it was received in Indianapolis. Two of the leaders of the Or- 
der, then in the city. Colonel Wm. A. Bowles, who had been ex- 
tinguished at the battle of Buena Vista, by conspicuous cowardice 
and ineompelency, and Judge J. F. Bullitt of the Kentucky Court 
of Appeals, declared that "Morgan must be stopped; tlie Order 
was not ready for him." Judge Bullitt immediately started ibr 
Kentucky, and Morgan was stopped. 

Nearly a week before Morgan attacked Mount Sterling and de- 
stroyed the Louisville and Lexington railroad, reports were sent by 
members of the Order that there were no "mules" — ^the name they 



REBEL OFFICERS IN INDIANA. 299 

g^ve to the soldiers — on the line of ilie road, and that a glorious 
work would be begun in a week. A little less than a week saw 
the fulfillmeut of their predietion, and proved the completeness of 
their in'brmaiion of rebel movements. In the summer of 1H64, 
two or three rebel offieers visited Indianapolis to arrange plans with 
the chiefs of the Order for the release and arming of the prisoners 
at Camp AJorton, C;unp Chase at Columbus, Catnp Douglas at 
Chicago, and on Johnson's I-Iand, and to take command of \\u' 
force that was expected to be formed of them. 

Daring the session of the Legislature of lSr>J, robe! oflicers were 
in the city in consultation with their allies, and the fact was pub- 
licly declared in the Hoasi> of Lleprescntatives a few days after- 
wards. It was denied by the members of the Order in that body, 
and the names of those consulted w'lih demanded, but the public 
beli(^f could not be changed by any amount of politic bluster. The 
revelations made by Miss Makv Aw Pittman, a member of the 
Order, and for a long ti:ne an able and efficient spy in the rebel 
service, generally thought to have been a man, show that coinmu- 
nications were kept up between the rebel forces and these North- 
ern sympathizers almosfcxclusively through members of the Order. 
GiiHEN Smith, Secretary of the Grand Council of Missouri, said 
that "rebel spies, mail carriers and emissaries had been protected 
Ijy the Order all the time that he belonged to it." Spies dressed 
as soldiers were sent North, and harbored and supplied with in- 
formation by the members here. 

These facts illustrate the connection between the Order and the 
rebels through the three years that connection could be made of 
:uiy service to the rebellion. Immediately before the disasters to 
the rebellion in ISG-j, which so seriously injured the Order, many 
of the outrages upon loyal citizens, the burnings, robberies and 
murders elsewhere noticed, were committed. It was the '-season 
of refreshing" to the infamous association. But it was speetlily 
foUowed by a season of mourning, alleviated, to be sure, but not 
consoled, by the mob of its friends and allies in New York, wliich, 
ibr three davs, rioted in tlie murder of peaceable citizens and ol inof- 
fensive negro children, and in the burning and destruction ol Or- 
))han Asylums and loyal men's houses. The mob was ])ut down 
with a stern hand, and a bloody but most righteous retribution lol- 
lowed close upon the most bloody and brutal provocation ever 
given by traitors to a generous nation. 



300 ADJUTANT QENEBAL'S REPORT. 

Once detected, the Order could not keep its existence or acts 
long a secret, under any change, from its shrewd and active ene- 
mies. Partial revelations of the operations of the "O. A. K."' 
speedily compelled another change, though not a great one, which 
was formally introduced on the 22d of February, 1864. The name 
by which its infamy was widely known, and by which it will re- 
main a shame and reproach to Americans as long as history shall 
endure, the "Sons of Liberty," was given it. The ritual was 
altered a little, but there was no material difference made between 
the " O. A. K." and the " O. S. L." Those initiated into the first 
were entitled to complete their degrees in the other. During the 
spring and summer of 1864, it began to work actively and boldly 
again. The political contest then approaching enabled it to in- 
crease its strength greatly by inducing men 1o join under the im- 
pression that it was a mere political organization, opposed to the 
war, and to the "abolition policy," as it was called, of the Admin- 
istration. Its numbers were swelled from fifteen thousand in 1862, 
to forty or fifty thousand in 1864. Avms were again procured in 
quantities to which all former purchases weic trilks. About two 
hundred thousand dollars, as testified by the Deputy Grand Com- 
mander of the Order, was furnished by rebel agents in Canada, for 
this purpose. Of this sum, Harrison H. Dodd and John C. 
Walker each took half. While these efforts wcie in progress, a 
full exposure of all the secrets of the Order, — its signs, its grips, 
passwords, oaths, ceremonies, principles and purposes, — was made 
by General Carrington, V\dio, with Governor Morton, had been 
for months upon its track, keeping themselves fully informed of 
every movement, and prepared for any demonstration. The atten- 
tion of the whole nation was directed to the formidable extent and in- 
famous character of the conspiracy, of which, before this exposure, 
the most prevalent opinion seemed to be that it was little else than a 
political association. The exposure alarmed the Order, for it showed 
that nothing could be done or attempted that would not be at once 
conveyed to the authorities and prepared for. Schemes of insurrec- 
tion, which had been long discussed, were now precipitated. The 
rebellion was sinking slowly but surely. Grant was moving resist- 
lessly down upon the last rebel refuge. Sherman was splitting the 
already divided Confederacy into new fragments, more hopelessly 
severed than ever. If anything to assist the rebellion was 1o be 
done at all, it must be done speedily and boldly. As already 



THE GENERAL OUTBREAK FRUSTRATED. 301 

noticed, rebel officers came to the Capital to consult Major General 
John C. Walker of the Order, about releasing and arminr^ the 
rebel prisoners at Indianapolis and elsewhere, and converting lliem 
into a formidable army in our midst. 

A scheme was concocted in the spring, between the Order and 
the Kentucky guerrillas, for the removal to this State of three thou- 
sand of the latter, secretly armed, who should assume the character 
of refugees, and assist in bringing about an insurrection. 

A general outbreak was arranged for the early part of July, but 
was postponed till the 16th of August. On that day, the Order in 
Missouri was to rise in arms, General Sterling Price was to join 
it with a strong rebel force, and the Order in Illinois was to assist. 
In Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky, a similar revolt was to be inaugur- 
ated, aided by Breckenriuge, Bucknbr and Morgan, with a large 
rebel army. The railroads and telegraph lines were to be cut, to 
prevent information from being sent out, and assistance from being 
sent in. Tlie arsenals in Indianapolis, Columbus, Springfield and 
other places, were to be seized, and the rebel prisoners in these 
States armed. The combined forces of released prisoners and 
Sons of Liberty were to join the rebel army at Louisville, and 
permanently occupy Kentucky. This was the grand scheme of the 
Order, and the last hope of the Rebellion. But it failed. General 
Price's invasion of Missouri never penetrated further than the 
Western border. This disconcerted the Missouri and Illinois com- 
bination. A portion of Buckner's forces, under Colonel Johnson 
and Colonel Seifert, reached the Ohio river opposite Shawnee- 
town, Illinois, where they .conscripted recruits, stole cattle and 
horses, and stopped and plundered steamboats. But General 
HovEY, with the 46th and 32d Indiana Volunteers, and a force of 
militia raised in Posey and Vanderburg counties, crossed the river 
on the 14th of August and drove the allies of the Sons of Liberty 
away. This spoiled the plans of the Order here. But there were 
other causes of failure even more potent. A large portion of the 
members having no knowledge of the treasonable schemes of the 
leaders, when they found themselves confronted with the fearful 
issue of a domestic war, refused to be led any further, and left the 
Order. A few days before the 16th, a member of Congress from 
the southern part of the State, and a member of the Order, be- 
coming greatly alarmed at the imminence and extent of the dan-

onlial friends, labored to dissuade the leaders from their infamous 
enterprise. They succeeded so far as to procure a consent 1o defer 
it. After that, the broken meshes of the net could never be knit 
togelher again, for the progress of the war soon made it evident 
that even an insurrection of the Sons of Liberty could not save 
the rebellion. Following close upon this derangement of the 
most carefully planned project ever conceived by traitors, came the 
fatal discovery of large shipments of arms to the Chief Commander 
of ihe Order in this State, and his arrest, with that of the De|uity 
Commander, three of the Major Generals, and several of the 
most active members, of the Order. On the 17th of August, the 
dav after that fixed ibr the rising, a letier was written to Governor 
MoKTON, and received about the 20th, slating that tiie information 
conveyed had been obtained in a manner and from a source that 
. left no doubt of its correctness; that the disloyal citizens of Indi- 
ana had ordered and piiid for 30,000 revolvers and 42 boxes of am- 
munition, all destined for Indianapolis; that 32 of these boxes had 
been forwarded to the address of a gentleman whose name was 
given at Indianapolis, by the Merchants' Dispatch; and the re- 
mainder was stored at a certain place in New Yt)rk. Upon inquir- 
ing, enough was ascertained to confirm the sus])icion3 excited by 
the positive and circumstantial statements of the letter, and Mr. 
Dodd's ofiice was examined. Four hundred large navy revolvers 
and 135,000 rounds of ammunition were found, boxed and ad- 
dressed jjrecisely as stated. They were marked " Sunday School 
Books." Mr. DoDD was arrested in the last of August. His trial, 
and that of his co-conspirators, and the revelations then made by 
members of the Order and by detectives v.ho liad entered it, will 
be more particularly noticed in another place. 

Its Organization. — The confessions of various members of the 
Order show that it had a double organization, one very large, com- 
posed entirely of initiates, and ojierating mainly as apolitical club; 
the other small, composed only of the members of the higher de- 
grees and of officers, and entirely military in its structure and pur- 
poses. The first was bound to obedience to the orders of the other. 
Though many of them never knew the treasonable schemes into 
which they were intended to be driven, there was not one who did 
not know that the object of the Order was to assist the rebellion 
and resist the Government. All were to be armed as far as possi- 
bii', but the outer herd were to arm themselves, and the select band

of lead(>rs were to be furnished ;irnis by a tax paid by the otiiers or 
provided by the rebels. In the Fidl of 18G4, it was est i mated by 
Mr. Clayton, one of the witnesses in the trial of Dodd, that two- 
Ihiids of all were armed. All were to l)e drilled and to be at the 
instant command of the Chiefs. Clemhnt L, Valandigmam, of

Harhison II. Dodd was Grand Commander of Indiana; Hohaci; 
H!:ffrf,n, was Deputy Grand Commander; William M. Harri- 
son, Grand Secretary. The State was divided into four military 
districts, each cinnnianded by a Major General. These olEcers 
were Lami^din P. Millioan, of Huntington county; John C. 
Walker, of La Porte; Andrew Humphreys, of Greene; and Wil- 
liam A. Bowles, of Orange. They were elected annually by the 
Grand Council, which was composed of two delegates from each 
county lodge, or "temple," with one additional for each thousand 
members. The township temples were to constitute "companies," 
which were combined into a "regiment" for a county, the county 
regiments of a Congressional District were to compose "brigades,'' 
and the brigades of each of the four military sections of the State 
were to compose a "division." Reports of the number of mem- 
bers, and of the condition and quantity of arms, were made in a 
sort of cypher, to avoid any accidental exposure, Tlie names were 
followed by any set of words that might be agreed upon. "Corn'* 
might stand for rifles, "oats" for powder, "potatoes" for pistols, and 
so on. In Missouri the names of various disloyal„papers were used 
for the same purpose. The reports thus made were too incom- 
plete to give any fair idea of the strength of the Order in Indiana. 
It was variously estimated at 75,000 to l-25,000. It will be nearer 
the mark no doubt to put it at 50,000, In some counties it em- 
braced nearly every member of the j)olitical party opposed to th(> 
war. It did in Washington county, as stated by Deputy Com- 
mander Heffren, on the trial of Dr. Bowles and others. It did 
in Brown, in Sullivan, in Orange, in Marshall, Huntington, Jack- 
son, Putnam, and in fact most of the counties of the State. Though 
there were many members of that party that never joined or affili- 
ated with the Order, it was so notorious that a large majority of 
them belonged, and that its operations were defended or excused by 
all, those out as well as those in it, and that no member of any 
other party had ever belonged, or, as Mr. Heffren stated in hie 
evidence, would be admitted, that the "Sons of Liberty was uni-

versaily considered identical with the party, and the party little else 
or more than the Sons of Liberty."' This was the material and 
the structure of the Order. It can serve no purpose at this day to 
describe the ceremonies, pass-words, and signs, for they were easily 
and frequently changed. It only remains to glance at its declara- 
tion of principles and its objects. 

Its Principles and Purposes. — In the ritual was a declaration of 
principles. In its acts were many declarations of purposes. The 
first is hardly so material to such a record as this report as the other, 
but it is not Avitliout interest. The following is one of the most 
prominent: "In the Divine economy no individual of the human 
race must be permitted to encumber the earth, to mar its asjjects 
of transcendent beauty, nor to impede the progress of the physical 
or intellectual man, neither in himself nor in the race to which he 
belongs. Hence a people upon whatever plane they may be found 
in the ascending scale of huma.nity, whom neither the divinity with- 
in them, nor the inspirations of divine and beautiful natvire around 
them, can impel to virtuous action and progress onward and up- 
ward, should be subjected to a just and humane servitude and 
tutelage to the superior race until they shall be able to appreciate 
the benefits and advantages of civilization." This farrago of non- 
sense translated into plain language says, that if one race be deemed 
i>y another unfit for progress, the latter should make slaves of the 
other, until they can learn to "progress onward and upward.'' 

Another declauation avers that the Union of the Stales is only 
voluntary and temporary, and may be annulled at any time by 
any State, so far as its own connection with the Union is 
concerned; also that the General Government has no right or power 
to enforce its laws upon any State that rejects them. 

The rebellion is recognized as legitimate and just. The General 
Government is declared a usurpation, and " whenever the chosen 
officers or delegates (President or Congress) shall fail or refuse to 
administer the Grovernment in strict accordance with the letter of the 
accepted Constitution, it is the inherent right, and the solemn, im- 
perative duty of the people to resist the functionaries, and, if need 
be, expel them by force of arms. Such resistance is not revolution, 
but is solely the assertion of right." 

Again it is said: "It is incompatible with the nature and history 
of our system of government that the Federal authority should 
coerce by arms a sovereign State." 



SPECIFIC OBJECTS OF THE ORDER. 305 

It avows its purpose to be, to put a slop to the war and make a l 

treaty with the rebels for a Union based upon degrees of civiliza- 
tion and differencps of race. The theory of the rebellion is ac- 
cepted in all its parts and consequences, as the true theory of gov- 
ernment, and recognized as the bond of the Order. 

These principles, which are simply a creed of unlimited slavery 
and absolute right of sece>ssion, each member solemnly made oath 
he would sup])ort at all timers, and everywhere, with his sword and 
liis life. The following is the material part of the oath of the high- 
est degree: " I do further swear that I will, at all times and in all 
places, yield prompt and implicit obedience, to the utmost of my 
ability, without remonstrance, hesitation or delay, to any and evcrv 
mandate, order or request of my immediate Most Excellent Grand 
Commander, in all things touching the purposes of the Order of the 
Sons of Liberty, and defend the principles tiiereof, when assailed 
in my own State or country, in whatsoever capacity may be as- 
signed to me by authority of our Order." In the " O. A. K.,'' l)e- 
fore the change, the language of the oath was: " I will defend these 
principles with my sword and my life in whatsoever capacity," etc., 
etc. This oath will be found on page 308 of the Appendix to the- 
Ivcport of the " Indiana Treason Cases." Three or four oaths are 
contained in the ritual. The penalty of a violation is declared in 
that just quoted to be a " shameful death." This is the language : 
"' All this I do solemnly promise and swear sacredly to observe, per- 
form and keep, with a full knov/ledge and understanding, and with 
my full assent, that the j)enalfy which will follow a violation of any 
or either of these, my solemn vows, will be a shameful death..''' The 
ritual betrays a sad lack of common sense and literary taste in the 
Order. Such a-production as the declaration of principles, or the 
neophyte oath, would obtain for a pupil in any respectable school 
a sound lecture or threshing. The inflated style, and silly assump- 
tion of a philosophical mode of statement, clearly entitle the author 
and the Order to a long servitude of the kind so pompously recom- 
mended by it for inferior intellects and natures incapable of 
" progress." 

Besides its principles, the Order had several specific objects in 
view. One of these was the encouragement of desertion. The 
members and all whom they could influence, as heretofore stated, 
wrote letters to their relatives in the army urging them to desert 

and assuring them of organizations and means to protect them- 
Vol. 1.— 21. 



•>0G ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

Emissaries were sent into the army, ircqncntiy as soldiers, to dis- 
seminate the Order and creale lodges there. Men who had enlisted, 
and through the machinations of the Order had become dissatisfied 
and deserters who had b(^en arrested, were furnished legal counsel to 
devise means to escape from the service. Disloyal judges, of whom 
there was no lack, readily lent themselves to these eflbits, and 
issued writs of habeas corpus, with an eye single to the purpose of 
depriving the Government of one more soldier. The effect of these 
efforts has already been stated in its proper place. Deserters 
thronged home, leaving the true and devoted soldier to do double 
duty, and encounter double danger, on account of their cowardice. 
Their friends in the Order protected them and beat off the guards, 
or made so strong a show of resistance that arrests in many cases 
could not be successfully attempted. In one month twenty-six 
hundred desertions were reported to the Adjutant General of the 
State at Indianapolis. The army was weakened and the Order 
was in a liigh state of glory. 

Another purpose was to. prevent enlistments and to resist draft- 
ing. The facts already related touching this point make it unnec- 
essary to say more about it here. The Order was the murderer of 
Freeman, Stevens and McCarty, as well as the attempted assassin 
of Governor Morton. 

The distribution of disloyal documents was another duty of the 
Order, as was the communication of information in regard to oor 
forces to the rebels. The interchange of intelligence between the 
allies was constant. The Government, as already noticed in an- 
other place, frequently obtained information of the actual or con- 
templated movements of the rebels, frotn detectives in the Order 
several days, sometimes weeks, before it could have learned it in 
the ordinary Vvay. It was also one of the purposes to furnish arms, 
ammunition, clothes, medicines and other stores, to the rebels. The 
agents employed were often ladies of good repute. Sometimes 
they were men who had made themselves conspicuous by fierce 
and false professions of loyalty. Aid was also given by burning 
Government vessels and stores. Dr. Bowles stated, as proved on 
the trial, that the two steamers which had sometime before been 
burned at the wharf at Louisville, were burned with a chemical 
composition, absurdly called " Greek Fire," by members of the 
Order. The Mississippi steamers upon which large sums of money 
intended for the payment of the army — in one case about two mil- 



THE TREASON TRIALS. 307 

lions of dollars — were transported, were burned by members of the 
Order. Government stores were frequently burned in the same 
way, by the same men. Some of the leaders in this State applied 
themselves assiduously to the manufacture of ttie destructive corn- 
pound which had been found so etlective. Dr. Bowles, in particu- 
lar, patronized it with constant and unchanging affection. It was 
generally regarded as a great acquisition. 

The prime object of the Order, however, was the separation of 
the Northwestern States from the Union, and their formation into 
a separate government, or into a part of the rebel Confederacy. 
The general uprising of the 16th of August, 1864, was intended to 
accomplish or further this object. This is declared repeatedly by 
the members who were examined in the Treason Trials. Aid to 
the rebellion, and the separation of the Northwest from the Union, 
were the ultimate purposes to which all the riots, resistance to 
drafts, protection of deserters, robberies of loyal men, and murders 
of officers, vvcre subordinate. 

Though w'hat are called the "secrets" of the Order, its oaths, 
signs and passv%ords, were all discovered as often as they were 
changed, no discovery of the schemes of the order was made public 
till the trial of Dodd and his associates. The revelations then made 
left nothing to be learned. As those trials, and the disclosures they 
elicited, form a prominent feature of the history of the disloyal 
movements in Indiana, it will not be improper to give them some 
attention at this point. 

The Treason Trials. — Harrison H. Dodd, Grand Commander of 
the Sons of Liberty in Indiana, entered zealously into the scheme 
for an insurrection on the 16th of August. Detectives kept the 
State and national authorities informed of his actions. He pur- 
chased a large quantity of arms and ammunition for the Order. 
The Governor was notified, and a search discovered a large num. 
ber of revolvers and cartridges, marked '-Sunday-school books," con- 
cealed in his printing establishment, as before stated. This was 
enough to warrant his arrest in the quietest times the Nation ever 
knew. It was more than enough in a time of war, treason, and 
danger. General Hovey, by order of the President, arrested Dodd 
about the end of August or first of September, 1864, and confined 
him in the military prison in Indianapolis. In a few days he was, 
at his earnest request, and upon his solemn promise not to attempt 
to escape, removed to the United States Court building. Shortly 



808 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

after his arrest, William A. Bowles, Lambdin P. Milligan, An- 
drew Humphreys, Stephen Horsey, and Horace Hrffren, were 
arrested and confined in Ibe gnard-liouse of the Soldiers' Home at 
Indianapolis. General Hovey, then commandant of this District, 
on the 17th day of September, J864, issued an order appointing a 
commission, consisting of Brevet Brigadier General Silas Col- 
(;rove, late Colonel of the Twenty-Seventh Indiana Volunteers; 
Colonel William E. McLean, of the Forty-Third; Colonel John 
T. Wilder, of the Seventeenth; Colonel Thomas J. Lucas, of the 
Sixteenth ; Colonel Charles D. Murray, of the Eighty-Ninth ; 
Colonel Benjamin Spooner, of the Eighty-Third ; and Colonel 
Richard P. DbIIart, of the One Hundred and Twentjr-Eighth, to 
try DoDD and his associates. Subsequently, Colonel Ambrose A. 
Stevens, of the Veteran Reserve Corps, v.'as added to the com- 
mission. 

On the 22d of September, the commission met and j)rocecded to 
t!ie trial of Dodd. His counsel objected to the jurisdiction of the 
court, but the objection was overruled. The Judge- iVdvocate, Ma- 
jor H. L. Burnet, on the 27th presented five charges against him, 
viz: 1. Conspiracy against the Government of the United States. 
2. Aftording aid and comfort to rebels against the authority of the 
United States. 3. Incitin'g insurrection. 4. Disloyal practic(\s. f). 
violation of the laws of war. He pleaded " not guilty," and the 
examination of v\dtnesses commenced at once. The most impor- 
tant facts elicited were the following : 

1. The Support Given by the Order to the Rebellion. — Wesley 
Tranter (page 47 Treason Trials) says : " Horsey said they were 
going to have a very important meeting. I attended. They taught 
us more of the signs of recognition used by the members, and 
and swore us into Jeff. Davis's service, and we were to support him, 
North or South, at all hazards.''^ 

William Clayton (page 46) said: "I considered that obliga- 
tion (the oath) bound us to assist the South, as they were trying to 
free themselves and form a government of their own choice."' In 
answer to the question, "Do you still hold that this obligation is 
binding upon you? " he replied, "I have taken it on myself, and I 
consider that it is." "You are sworn to help the South, are you?" 
"That is the way I read the obligation.'' On the same page, to the 
(question, "It was against the Government and army of the United 
States that you were organized to wage war?" he replied, " IFe 



MURDER OF GOVERNOR JIORTOX PLANNED. 309 

vjere to ivag-c vmr upon them, of course, if they took up arras against 
the South." On the same page, he s^id the Order "was willing to 
r^hake hands with rebel invaders, and consider them friends;" that 
"this was the sentiment in the section where he lived." "In that 
section the success of the South was considered a less evil than the 
oppression of tb.e Administration," and that "the same feelin"' was 
still maintained in the Lodges." 

2. The g-eneral insurrection. /rRANXER (page 48), says : " The 
arms loere to be used to assist the rebels. They (the members) ex- 
pressed their intention to resist the United States government, and 
support the South. Stone said in his speech, that they whereto take 
Indianapolis; the members of the Order in Illinois, to take Springfield; 
while those in ?\Iissoari were to take St. Louis. Biiagg was to do 
all he could in Tennessee ; Morgan was to advance his force into 
Kentucky ; Forrest was to cross the Ohio, into Illinois. The In- 
dianians were to size Indianapolis and the Arsenal, and distribute 
the arms to those members of the Order who had none." Clay- 
ton (on page 48) states, that " it was part of their general plan, to 
assist the rebels whenever they invaded these States, and if it has 
been given up, I do not know it." On page 32, Fl;lix G. Stidgeh 
states, that Dr. Bowles developed the plan of insurrection, to him, 
in this way : " Illinois was pledged to forward 50,000 men, to con- 
centrate at St. Louis, and to co-operate with Missouri, whicii was 
pledged to furnish 30,000, and these combined forces, were to co- 
operate with Price, who was to invade Missouri with 20,000, and 
more if possible. These 100,000 men were to hold Missouri 
against any Federal forces, that could bo sent against them. In- 
diana was to furnish from 40,000 to <-0,000 tnen, to co-operate with 
other forces that might come from Ohio, and all were to be thrown 
on Louisville, to co-operate with whatever force Jeff. Davis might 
send into Eastern Kentucky, under Blckner, or Breckinridge, as 
Davis might deem best." 

3. The Murder of Governor jMorton. Thxater (page 48), says: 
" At that meeting Stone said. Governor Morton was to be put 
out of the way; that he had but a short time to live, after the visit 
to the Indianapolis arsenal." See Heffren's testimony, p. 312, 313, 
of this volume. Thiswas another part of the plan fora general uprising 

4. Releasing and arming the rebel prisoners. This was part of 
the programme for August, but was not mentioned by Stidger as 
a part of that detailed by Dr. Bowles. It was related to Stidger 



310 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

by DoDD : (see pages 23 and 24) " Dodd said, tliey had agreed to 
seize the camps of the rebel prisoners at Indianapolis, Camp Chase 
in Ohio, Camp Douglas at Chicago, and the Depot of prisoners 
on Johnson's Island. They were going to seize the arsenals in In- 
dianapolis, Springfield and Chicago. They were going to arm the 
prisoners with the arms thus seized ; raise all the members of the 
Order they could on the 15th or IGth of August, that being the day 
fixed for the uprising. Each commander was to move all his men 
toward, and concentrate them at, Louisville. They were to get the 
co-operation of Colonel S expert and Colonel Jesse of the rebel 
army, who were then in Kentucky. They (these rebel officers) 
were to seize Louisville, and hold it until their (the O. S. L.) forces 
could co-operate. At Chicago there was a difference of opinion, 
whether to wait until after they were sure of the co-operation of 
the rebel forces, or go ahead without them. Dodd sent Wm. M. 
Harrison (the Secretary of the Indiana branch of the Order) to see 
MiLLiGAN, Humphreys and Walker and get them to Indianapolis 
before that day. They did not come. Dodd read me letters which 
he said were from them. They said they were to go ahead, at the 
time designated, to release and arm the prisoners and members of 
the Order, and eventually unite in Louisville." 

5. Tlie deliberate determination to murder Park Coffin., a detective 
in the service of the government. Mr. Stidgkr (page 20), says : " 1 
was sent to Dr. Bowles and Mr. Dodd hy Judge Bullitt, in refe- 
rence to Mr. Coffin, who was living inthiscity (Indianapolis), and 
who was then employed as a detective officer by the Government. 
My instructions were that Coffin was to be put out of the way at 
all hazards. I understood he was to be murdered. I stated my 
instructions to Mr. Dodd, Coffin was acquainted wdth the secrets 
of the Order of the Sons of Liberty. I do not know of any other 
injury he had done to Dodd, Bullitt or Bowles." At a meeting 
of the Grand Council on the 14th or 15th of June, 1864, " the case 
of Coffin was brought before the council and discussed at length. 
The discussion was about various things that Coffin had done as 
a detective, for the benefit of the United States Government; and 
it was finally decided that he should be murdered. Mr. Dodd 
volunteered to go to Hamilton, Ohio, (where there was to be a 
meeting next day, at which Coffin was expected) and if Coffin 
was there to dispose of him." (See page 21.) 

6, The destruction of Steamers a?id Government Stores by the 



FORTY-FIVE COUNTIES ORGANIZED. 311 

Order, Stidgku (page 22) says : " Dr. Bowli;s said, that those 
two boats that were destroyed at the wharf at Louisville, were 
l^urned by this Greek Fire, and had been done by the order of the 
Sous of Liberty." 

Full disclosures were made of all the signs, grips, pass-words, 
and ceremonies of the Order, but they are not important now. 
On the night of the 6th of October, Dodd, with the help of friends 
outside, escaped from the window of his room by a rope, and made 
his way to Canada. The Judge Advocate at once rested the case. 
Arguments were made on both sides, and some months afterwards^ 
it was published that he was sentenced to death, and that the find- 
ing and sentence had been approved. 

The commission which tried Dodu was, by a special order of Gen- 
eral HovEY, subsequently increased by tlic addition of Colonel 
Ansel D. Wass, of the Sixtieth Massachusetts Regiment, then 
stationed at Indianapolis; Colonel Thomas W. Bennett, of the 
Sixty- Ninth Indiana; Colonel Reuben Williams, of the Twelfth In- 
diana, and Colonel Albert Heath, of the One-Hundredth Indiana. 
Before the close of the trial, Colonel John T. Wilder, of the Seven- 
teenth Indiana, having resigned his command, was relieved from 
the commission. The charges against Bowles, Milligan, Hum- 
phreys, Heffren and Horsey, were precisely the same as those 
against Dodd. The trial commenced on th(j 21st of October, 1864. 
Milligan objected to Colonel Wass, that " he was from a locality 
where there are extreme prejudices against Western men, and he 
was likely to be iuiiuenced by those prejudices." The court be- 
lieving, very justly, that the objection was based upon a false as- 
sumption, overruled it. Among men of Milugan's class, there 
was a bitter and senseless prejudice against the people of New 
England, which they naturally thought was reciprocated, but 
everybody with any knowledge of t!ie feelings of that portion of 
our people knew that the hostility was all upon one side. The 
revelations made by the witnesses in this trial were, in the main, 
identical with those developed in the trial of Dodd. It will be 
necessary here to notice only a few additional points. 

William M. Harrison, Grand Secretary of the Order for Indi- 
ana, testified (see page 87) that oiiicial reports had been made of 
organizations in foriy-live counties, but admitted that there might 
have been branch "temples" or lodges in other counties. He esti- 
mated that there were about 18,000 members of the first, second 



312 ADJUTANT GENERAL'S REPORT. 

and third degrees in the State. The "vestibule members" he did 
not include in this estimate, as they were not considered members 
of the organization. He also disclosed the fact that the arms 
seized in August were addressed to Mr. J. J. Parsons (a business 
partner of Dodd's), without that gentleman's knowledge. 

JosRPH J. BiNGUAM, editor of tire Indiana State Sentinel, testi- 
fied to the revelation to him by Dodd of the sclieme for a general 
insurrection and release of the rebel prisoners on the 16tli of Au- 
gust, and to the steps taken by leading men of his party to pre- 
vent it. He also disclosed the fact that two or three rebel officers 
were in the city at that time, on tlieir way to Chicago, to take 
command of the rel)el prisoners when they should be released and 
armed. (Seepage 103.) When the representations of friends had 
induced Dodd and Wai.kkr to duier their project, Walkcr said 
he must see the olFicers to notify them of the change that had been 
determined upon. 

HoRAcr: Heffrf^n, Deputy Grand Commander, who was made 
a witness by Judge Advocate Buunktt, on the 4th of November, 
and released from arrest and discharged, testified that Dr. Bou'les 
was the chief oificer of the Order in Indiana. Dodd, he said, was 
the Grand Commander, which was a civil office, but that Bowles 
was the military head of the Order. (See page 125.) He also 
stated that he had been shown a roil of bills amounting to Jii^ 1,000 
by Dr. Ja:\ies B. WilsOxX, Adjutant on Bowles' staff, which had 
been obtained from Bowles to purchase arms and ammunition 
for Washington county, and that he was informed by the 
same man that ^',000,000 had been sent to Indiana, Illinois and 
Kentucky, by rebel agents in Canada, to buy arms and ammuni- 
tion for the Order in those States. Of this sum .1i5200,000 had 
been received by Dodd and Walker for Indiana. Each |took 
8100,000. A portion was to be used by Bowles to arm the 
Order in his part of the State. (See page 126.) 

Mr. Heffren also testified to the insurrection scheme and the 
release of the rebel prisoners, and added two important features: 
ist. That "GJovernor Morton was to be taken care of," or as he ex- 
plained it, "held as a hostage for the safety of those of the insur- 
rectionists who might be taken prisoners." Dr. James S. Atiion, 
a member of the Order, and then Secretary of the State, was to 
become Governor, under the "law and the Constitution," as Hef- 
RBN understood. The militia (which would be composed of the 



CONSPIRATORS FOUND GUILTY. 313 

armed members of llie Order, of course) would be called out, and, 
as Mr. Heffrkn said, " we should have everything our own way.'' 
(See page 127.) The Military Board Bill was intended to accom- 
plish thi-5 result under the forms of law, and its defeat, doubtless, 
exerted no little influence in determining the adoption of the 
scheme of revolutionary violence which Mr. Hf:ffre\ exposed. 

He also stated that he had been informed by Wilsox, Bowles' 
Adjutant, that steps had been taken to procure lances for a regi- 
ment of lancers. They were to be made with a lance head, com- 
bined with a sickle-shaped knife, the first to thrust v.dth, the otlier 
to cut the horses' bridles. "He (Wilson) thought the enemy (the 
Union troops) would become confused and distracted, and if a

ling their horses, they would be easily mashed up.'' (See page 128.) 

He disclosed the fact that ti;n individuals had been selected by 
the leaders of the Order " /o take care of Governor Morton.'' He 
did not learn who they were, " They wexe to hold ihe Governor 
as a hostage for those who were taken prisoners, or to make waij 
with him some u'ay.''' (See page 129.) 

" If they could not use him for their own purposes, they might 
take him out and kill him." (See page 135.) 

He believed these ten men would do this to (iovernor jMorton. 
and " had good reasou for believing it." (See page 135.) 

Mr. Hhffren farther stated that in case of a rebel raid, the mem- 
bers of the Order were to place a rebel flag on their property and 
no injury would be done it. Also, that in the proposed insurrection 
they were to march under the rebel fiag. " We were to join our 
fortunes with the South." (See page 135.) 

Dr. Jamfs B. Wilson, Adjutant to Bowlks, was made a witness 
and related minutely the steps that were to be taken in commencing 
the insurrection in this State, but these details are hardly of im- 
portance enough now to warrant the lengthening of this report by 
th(Mr introduction. The revelations noticed in the trial of Dodd, 
and the confirmatory disclosures of Bingham and Hfffrfx, cover 
all that is necessary to assure the public of the treasonable purposes 
of the Sons of Liberty. The examination of witnesses was com- 
pleted on the 25th of November, and the Court adjourned till the 
6th of December to allow counsel time to prepare their arguments. 

The Court finally found Bowles, Milligan, Horsey and HuiM-

was condemned to imprisonment for life, but General Hovry re- 
mitted his sentence to confinement within a limited spare in his 
own county for a year or two. The sentence of the others was 
approved, the day fixed for their execution, and preparations were 
already commenced, when, upon the earnest representations of 
Governor Morton and other prominent loyal men, President 
Johnson was induced to commute their sentence to imprisonment 
in the Penitentiary at Columbus, Ohio. They were subsequently 
pardoned and returned home. Dodd, it is understood, was also 

pardoned. 

CONCLUSION. 

This summary of the obstacles thrown in the way of the prosecu- 
tion of the war by the disloyal element in Indiana, is far from com- 
plete. Many facts in regard to the action of the Legislature, the 
expressions of feeling by public meetings, the encouragement and 
protection of deserters, the resistance to the lavv's and the maltreat- 
ment; of loyal citizens, and in regard to the purposes and action of 
the treasonable Order of Sons of Liberty, might have been added. 
But Ihcy could only have lengthened this report without materially 
strengthening the argument for the two leading propositions which 
it is intended to estabish : that the disloyal element of the North 
contributed, certainly in a great degree, in all probability decisively, 
to produce the war; and contributed still more certainly and cllect- 
ively to protract it. No amount of sophistry, bluster, denial, or 
attempted refutation, will ever erase from the pages of our history 
the responsibility of disloyal citizens for a large portion of the 
bloodshed, misery and desolation which the war produced ; or for 
the almost intolerable legacy it left in the form of a monstrous 
public debt and the exhausting taxation which follows in its train. 
Nor can the public mind forget that the distractions — resulting, at 
ieast in a very great part, from the treasonable events and eflforts here 
briefly recorded — have pushed far away the hour of renewed cor- 
liiality of intercourse and restored prosperity. 



RELIEF OF SOLDIERS AND THEIR FAMILIES. 

ORIGIN OF THE INDIANA RELIEF SYSTEM. 
The outbreak of the rebellion found our Government, not only 
without an army, but without the means to equip it. Out of this 



ORIGIN OF THE INDIANA RELIEF SYSTEM. 315 

double deficiency grew an army of citizens, who not only needed 
more care than the Government could give, but who left families 
dependent upon them needing help which no Government has ever 
given. A citizen soldiery, vmused to war, and ignorant of its dis- 
ci [jline and ])rivations, would necessarily suffer more, not only in 
the lack of comforts to whieii they had been accustomed, hut in 
their liability to disease, than a regular army, even when supplied 
witli all a regular army is allowe<l. The danger was much greater 
when our Government found itself inadequately provided with 
even regular army supplies. In the necessity of averting this dan- 
ger, the Indiana State Sanitary Commission, as well as those of 
other States, and the larger organization of the United States Sani- 
tary Commission, originated. In this State the most obvious ne- 
cessity was the completion of inadequate Government supplies, 
and the effort to meet this led to the solicitation of popular contri- 
butions. The second necessity, but little less obvious than the 
first, was to supply comforts which the Government could not, or 
did not attempt to, supply. Tlie efforts to meet the first led to or- 
ganizations which, during the war, successfully met the second, 
and the record of these constitute the history of our State Sanitary 
Commission. At the commencement of the war, the wom(>n, with 
the instinctive tenderness of their sex, set about supplying head- 
gear, called "havelocks," for our three months' troops, and the Gov- 
ernor provided every availal)le comfoit of camp-life and re- 
(juirement of hospital service, to meet the deficiency of Govern- 
ment provision. But it was not till the approach of winter that 
the necessity for any elTort on the part of the people or the State 
authorities, in aid of the General Government, became apparent. 
In fact, it was not until the actual privations and sufferings of the 
winter admonished us of the amount of care that would be re- 
([uired, that organization, or anything more than temporary help to 
be soon replaced by permanent Government provision, was thought 
of. The steps through which we advanced from accidental assist- 
ance to systematic and continuous beneficence were short, but each 
developed a wider necessity before us. Contributions of clothing, 
camp equipage, provisions, and hospital necessaries, were constantly 
made to the soldiers, directly, by their friends, both before they left 
tlie camp of rendezvous and afterwards; but these were far ottener 
mementoes of parental or friendly affection than provision for an- 
ticipated necessities. It needed the stern teaching of suffering to 



316 ADJUTANT general's KEPORT, 

convert fhem into a constant stream ot benefactions, without whicli 
our camps would but too often have contained more graves than 
tents. 

The first steps were, naturally, those in aid of ordinary Govern- 
ment supplies. By them we reached the jooint from which we 
could see that further steps were necessary, and that eilbrts, not 
merely to complete, but to enlarge, those of the Government musr 
be made. On the 20th of August, 1861, Governor Morton, then 
in Washington City, telegraphed to the State officers as I'ollov/s: 

"Urge Major Montgoi\iei{V, (then United States Quartermaster, 
at Indianapolis,) to get overcoats of any good material, and not 
wait for a public letting. Do have them made at once. The men 
are suffering for them, and I am distressed for them. Perhaps a 
few thousands can be forwarded at once, by Captain Dickkkson." 

This urgency, which niight seem almost premature, was none 
too soon. Our men amoni>; the mountains of Western Viroisiia 
were already sutlering in the chilly nights that announced the ap- 
proach of autumn. Governor I\Iorto.\, in whom anxiety for his 
men was a cherished duty, felt their sufferings before any complaint 
had reached him. It was not till two days after this that any in- 
formation of the wants of the troops was received. In pursviance 
of his orders, the State ofHcers at once applied to Quartermaster 
Montgomery for the overcoats. He eitlier could not furnish them, 
or, with the unpleasant captiousness that uniformly marked his con- 
duct, did not feel disposed to accommodate a State official, and ap- 
plication was made to Captain Dickerson, at Cineiimati. He 
promi)tIy sent forv^-ard four thousand, in care of General Rose- 
CRANs, then in command of Western Virginia. The want of sys- 
tem, and the enormous rush of supplies, during the first months of 
the war, caused dela-ys and confusions to a most embarrassing ex- 
tent, and our overcoats were no more successful in "running the 
gauntlet"' of incompetent or overburdened oflicers than other sup- 
plies. For nearly a month the Governor waited impatiently for 
news of their arrival. 

On the 15th of September, hearing nothing of them, and the 
men beginning to sutler seriously for want of them, he sent his 
Private Secretary, Colonel W. R. Holloway, to hunt them up. 
As there were a good many "knotty" places where such supplies 
might be entangled, he soon after sent the State Comtnissary Gen- 
eral, AsAHEL Stone, to assist in tracing them. Twelve hundred were

at last discovered and pushed Ihrongh. Repeated and earnest rep- 
resentations ot the condition of our men to Quartermaster General 
Mkigs, General Rosecrans, General Kelley, and all the oflicers 
concerned in the supply and transportation of the articles, flnailv 
succeeded in rescuing or replacing them, and on October 7th, Gen- 
eral J. J. Reynolds, of this State, then commanding a brigade of 
our troops, telegraphed their receipt to ihe Governor as follows: 
•• Clothing is coming forward. In a few days we shall have a sup- 
ply for the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth and Seventeenth Reg- 
iments, except shoes, socks and caps ; the last are not so important. 
Shoes and socks much needed. These regiments have suffered 
greatly, but not a man among them has any fault to find with the 
Governor of the State. They are all informed of the exertion 
made in their in their behalf and appreciate it." 

Satisfied, by the experience of this effort to supply our troops in 
Western Virginia, that the General Government, with every possi- 
ble exertion, must leave many regiments insufficiently provided, 
even with the indispensable protection of overcoats, and there being 
troops from Indiana at other points in a very destitute condition, 
Governor Morton resolved to see them properly supi)!icd at all 
hazards. If the General Government would pay the expcns(\ well ; 
but if it refused the State would pay it, for the men must be cared 
for. Accordingly, he went to New York, and through the Pnrchas" 
ing Agent of the State, Hon. Robert Dale Owen, he bought 
twenty-nine thousand overcoats. For a portion he paid the Gov- 
ernment price, f?7 75 each. But the demand for that sort of mate- 
rial was so great that he could not get the remain.der of the necessary 
(juantity short of !$9 25 each. The Quartermaster General, upon 
j)resentation of the bill, refused to pay more than the regulation 
price upon the whole lot, leaving the difference (.f $1 50 upon a 
large number of coats, to be settled by the State. When notified 
liy M;ijor Montgomery of the decision of Quartermaster General 
?vIeigs, the Governor replied: " Indiana will not allow her trooj^s to 
suffer if it be in her power to prevent it, and if the General Government 
will not purchase supplies at these (the current) rates, Indiana ic ill' ^ 
The virtue of "beginning as one intends to hold out" was never 
more conspicuously displayed than in this instance. From first to 
last the important consideration was, not " will the Government 
l)ay?" bat " what do the men need?" and what they needed they 
had, if money and energy could get it for them. By this provi-

dence and wise economy, our men were all, as amply as possible, 
prepared for the rigors of the first Vv'inter of the war. As another 
illustration of the s[)irit with which the Governor conducted all his 
business in behalf of soldiers, it may be noted here that when the 
Indianapolis Quartermaster, Major Montgomery, made a reclama- 
tion of his imperceptible merit in the business of the overcoats, 
against the universal a|)proval of Governor Morton's action, the 
latter, after a brief statement of the efforts made, said: "These 
exertions secured twenty-nine thousand overcoats for our troops. 
It will be of little importance by whose agency it was done, if they 
shall succeed in getting them in due season." 

Overcoats, however, were not the only necessaries lacking. Gen- 
eral Rkynolus had reported, in October, that his men were without 
suitabli^ shoes, socks or caps. Blankets, hardly less indispensable 
than ciothes, were deficient in quantity and qu:dity. Many articles, 
unknown 1o the regulations, were needed for both camp and hos- 
pital. Some of these could not be purchased, for there were none 
in t!ie market. Others the (Government would not purchase if it 
could. But they must all be had, and there was but one way to 
get them: to appeal to the interest of the people in their friends? 
to the duty of the citizen to the army, to the benevolence of the 
charitable for the suffering. This the Governor did in the first 
official attempt made to bring popular effort to the aid of the Gov- 
ernment, Ou October lOlh, 18(51, he issued the follovv'ing procbima- 
tion: 
"jTo the Pnlriotir ]Vomen of Indiana: 

"When llic President ir^sucd Iiis iirst call to the loyal States tor help, the Goverii- 
nient was unprovided with most, if not all, of the articles necessary to the comfort 
and health of soldiers in. the camp and in the field. Tlie women of Indiana were ap- 
pealed to, and they supplied the deficiency in our State v/ith a generous alacrity 
which entitles them to the gratitude of the nation. The approach of winter make? 
it necessary to apjieal to thera again. Our Volunteers, already suffering from ex- 
posure, against which they are inadequately protccttMl, will soon be compelled 
to endure the utmost seventy of winter, and multiplied dangers of disease. The 
Government is doing all that can be done for them, but, when all is done, they must 
still lack many comforts which men in ordinary pursuits enjoy, and which soldiers 
need above all others. Many articles of clothing, which, to men with houses over 
their heads and warm fires always near, are hardly more than a luxury, lo men 
with no protection but a tent, no bed but the ground, and whose duty must bo per- 
formed under the unabated rigors of winter, are absolute necessaries. They may 
save many lives which will surely be lost without them. These, the patriotic wo- 
men of Indiana, it is hoped, will supply. An additional blanket to every man iH

our army, -R-ill prcsorve hundreds to their country and to their families. Two or 
three pairs ot' good, strong socks vdW be invaluable to men who must often march 
all day in the snow, and without thera, must lie down with cold and benumbed feel, 
on the frozen ground. Good woollen gloTcs or mittens will preserve their hands in 
marching and in handling their arras, and while adding greatly to their comfort - 
will materially increase their eihciency. Woolen shirts and drawer?, too, arc a ne- 
cessity to men exposed to such vicissitudes of weather as soldiers. All these arti- 
cles the Indiana volunteers ought to have now, and must before winter sets in, if wc 
would protect them from exposure and disease, that may be averted by this timelv 
preparation. Some of these articles the Government does not furnish, and others 
not in sufficient quantities to supply the waste produced by the exposure of a sol- 
dier's life. Blankets cannot be purchased. The stock is completely exhausted, and 
the Government is soliciting contributions from the citizens. "Will not the women 
of Indiana do their share in providing for the men of Indiana, in the battle field ':" 

''An hour of each day for a week given to the manufacture of the articles named 
m\l provide an ample store. Are they not ready to give that, and more, if needed ? 
I urge upon them the duty of promptly beginning the work. Let them at onct' 
fjrward, at the State's expense, to the State Quartermaster, such blankets as they 
can spare. They will be immediately and carefully sent to such regiments as the 
donors prefer, If they have any preference. Let them singly, or by associations, set 
about the manufacture of woolen shirts, drawers, socks and gloves. The se'ning so- 
cieties of ouv churches have a wide field for exertion, wider aad grander than the}" 
will ever find again. Will they not give their associations for a time to thi? 
beneficent olject? The numerous female benevolent societies, by giving their en. 
crgies and organizations to this work, can speedily provide the necessary sapplv. 
Let women through the country, who have no opportunity to join such associations- 
emulate each other in their labors, and see who shall do most for their country and 
Its defenders in this hour of ti-ial. 

The articles should be sent to the Quartermaster General of the State, with ;j 

card stating the name and residence of the donor, and their destination, if she ha? 

any choice. The names will be recorded and preserved, with the number an(J 

kind of articles sent. The women of Indiana alone can meet this emergency, and 

to them our volunteers, as well as the Government, look for sympathy and aid.

In the official report of the Quartermaster General of tlie State,

officer alludes to the effect of this proclamation, in the following

" This proclamation me*^ with a r"'ost cordial response, and donations to the value 
of many thousands of dollars were forwarded. The articles consisted, for the most 
part, of blankets, shirts, drawers, socks and mittens, together with sheets, pillows, 
pads, biadages, lint and dressing gowns, for hospital uses. So Uberal were these 
contributions, that I deemed it necessary in the latter part of the winter, to Issue a 
circular to the effect that the supply was sufficient, except of mittens and socks.

That deficiency, too, was so far supplied that all subsequent applications for tbe 
articles, with the exception of only two or three, were filled. The generosity of 
our citizens in this regard has added very greatly to the comfort of our troops in 
the field and camj), and very probably has saved many valuable lives.'' 

R, G A N 1 Z A T I (J X F IL T E M P R A R Y RELIEF. 
The distribution of Ihc siippiies contributed in response to the 
Governor's appeal suggested the first organized effort of any State 
to complete or enlarge the Government provision for our soldiers. 
The State Commissary General was charged with the duty of 
supervising the work, and energetic and humane gentlemen were 
sent as agents to the best points to caiTy it on.* Their expenses, 
and the purchase of such additional supplies as were deemed 
necessary, were paid out of the Military Contingent Fund, apj)ro- 
priated by the Legislature at the extra session of the spring of 
1861, The duty of these agents, as set forth in a letter from this 
office to the Quartermaster General of Ohio,f dated November 
26th, 1864, was " io render all possible relief to our soldiers, espe- 
cially to those who were sick or wounded, whether in transit, in 
liospitals, or on the battle-field. Sanitary stores and hospital sup- 
plies, purchased in some cases by the Governor, but more frequently 
donated by the patriotic people of the State, were sent to these 
agents, and by them carefully distributed, the rule being to first 
supply our own troops, and then to relieve those from other States." 
in addition to thi^ regular provision of distributing and assisting 
agents, sj)ecial agents, surgeons and nurses were also sent to points 
where additional aid was necessary. In distributing the contribu- 
tions regard was had to the wishes of the donors, as indicated in 
the Governor's address, but where no special direction was given 
the stores were applied where the greatest need existed. 

This improvised arrangement was sufficient to meet immediate 
necessities, and when it was made no further necessity was appa- 
rent. It was a prevalent, if not utiiversal, opinion that the war 
would be speedily ended, and it was certain that as soon as the 
Government could once place itself in a condition to supply the 
reqirements of the regulations, it would need no help from popular 
effort in that direction. But early in 1862, it became evident that 
the war would not be speedily ended, and still more evident that 
the Government regulations did not embrace everything that the 
previous habits of the soldiers had made necessary to their com-

fort and health, and at the same time they were very deficient in 
providing such supplies as were required for hospital use. What 
had been done by popuhir effort to furnish these, to enlarge the 
Government provision for the citizen-soldier adequate to his wants 
and the anxieties of his friends, would have to be done again, and 
continued till the war ended, be it soon or late. The improvised 
ages'icies suggested the mode of making such efforts effectual. 
They could be made permanent, reduced to system, and placed un- 
der competent supervision, and the foundation thus laid for con- 
tinuous and protracted efibrt. In this purpose originated the 
*' General Military Agency of Indiana." 

ESTAIiLISIIMENT bV THE GENERAL INDIANA MILITARY AGENCY. 

Tills organization, destined to play so conspicuous a part in the 
history of our State's share of the war, was created by the appoint- 
ment, by Governor Morton, of Dr. William Hannaman, of In- 
dianapolis, a gentleman of large business experience, humanity and 
integrity, as "General Military Agent." To him was entrusted 
the receipt and distribution of all sanitary supplies, the supervision 
of local agencies, and the direction of all matters relating to the re- 
lief of soldiers. 

Local agents and special agents, either in the hospital or in the 
field, were required to report to him the condition of the troops and 
hospitals in their charge, and the Governor was thus furnished 
with the necessary information to direct promptly and effectively 
the assistance, whether in stores, surgeons or nurses, that might 
be needed. Field agents were expected not only to look after the 
health and comfort of the men, but to write letters, to take charge 
of commissions for them to their friends and relatives, to see to the 
burial of the dead, and the preservation of relics, to keep registers 
of the names of all men in hospitals, with date of entry, disease or 
injury, and, in case of death, the date and cause, and any other in- 
formation that might be of interest to relatives and friends. These 
registers were afterv.-ards found of great value in settling pension 
and pay claims. Local agents were required to make their o/Tices 
the homes of soldiers; to assist them in getting transportation in 
returning home, when they had no money or Government passes; 
to provide them clothini- when, as was too often the case, they were 
ragged and necessitous; to feed them; to facilitate every proper 
purpose; to take charge of returning prisoners, and [)rovide every- 
thing which their shocking destitution demanded; and, in short, to 
Vol. 1.— 22. 



322 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

he careful, affectionate, watchful gnardiatis. Supplies of readin 
matter, books, newspapers and periodicals, both for field and ho 
pital, formed another object of the agency's care. Oar soldiers wer 
with very few exceptions, men to whom reading of some kind w; 
a necessity, begotten not only by the weariness of idle days, but I 
previous habits, and the demand for means of gratification wi 
as constant and imperious as for stores and medicines. 

Besides the supervision of subordinate agencies of whatever kind, 
the General Agency was charged witli the duty of chartering 
steamers, when it was deemed necessary after a battle, to carry the 
stores, surgeons and nurses that might be required, to the wounded, 
and to bring home, or to convenient hospitals, such as might be 
able or allowed to come. Frequently boats were dispatched to 
destitute j)oints completely loaded with vegetables, hospital sup- 
plies, clothing and like comforts, and returned filled with wounded 
and sick men, whom the prospect of coming home, even more 
than the abundant and suitable supplies, and the pleasant change 
from tents to the airy boat, almost brought back from death. The 
first serious battle in which our State troops Were engaged, that of 
Fort Donelson, in February, 1862, was the occasion of the com- 
mencement of this humane labor, which was never intermitted so 
long as it was needed. 

A few days after the bloody battle of Richmond, Kentucky, in 
August, 1862, special agents were sent, under Hags of truce, within 
the enemy's lines, to look after the wounded who might be prison- 
ers. The embassy to Richmond, under charge of Dr. Theophilus 
Parvin and the lamented Dr. Talbot Bullard, was greatly 
serviceable to our suffering soldiers, in the hands of the enemy. 
A large number were relieved, and brought home, who, if left to 
rebel care, would in all probability have returned in their coffins. 

Through the Agency, also, arrangements were made to convey 
to our prisoners in Libby, Belle Isle, and other rebel prisons, the 
contributions of food, clothing and medicines made by their friends, 
and the large purchase of some live or six thousand dollars worth 
of stores, made by Governor Morton, in Baltimore, for their benefit. 
The forwarding and collecting of claims for bovmty, back pay 
and pensions, gratuitously, were subsequently made a part, and a 
very important part, of the business of the agency. Hundreds of 
thousands of dollars were saved to the soldiers by it, which would 
either have been lost entirely, or seriously reduced by delays and 



INDIANA SANITARY COMMISSION. 323 

the rapacity and rascality of claim agents. Subordinate agents 
were also appointed to collect and bring home the pay of soldiers 
in tlie field, and the risk of mail transportation through a hostile 
country, and the expense of expressing or other customary modes, were 
avoided. These instances indicate, rather than describe, the various 
and indispensable services of the " General Military Agency.'' A 
more detailed account of its action will be found in another place. 

In concluding this general statement of the services of the 
Agency, it may be remarked that the leading idea of its system of 
action was to provide for the wants, and take care of the health, of 
the men in the field, in order, as far as possible, to preserve their 
efficiency, and diminish the duties and demands of hospital service. 
" Prevention was better than cure." A well man kept well, was 
better than a sick man cured. Not that the needs of hospitals were 
ever in any degree sacrificed to this idea, for they were as amply 
supplied as liberality, sagacity and energy could do it, but the 
primary consideration was to prevent or reduce hospital service. In 
its labors it had, with rare exceptions, the ready and grateful co- 
operation of the officers, in furnishing transportation for stores and 
help, and facilitating their distribution. The exceptions were usu- 
ally found in officers of the regular army, who knew nothing out- 
side of the regulations and conducted the business of armies as 
they had been accustomed to do that of companies. The Local 
Agents w^ere paid from one hundred to one hundred and fifty dollars 
per month, and expenses for office rent, fuel, clerk hire and the like. 
Special agents or surgeons who charged for their services, were 
usually allowed enough to pay their expenses, no more being asked 
or expected. Through them and the cordial co-operation of Cap- 
tain James A. Ekin, the United States Quarter Master at India!*— 
apolis, who succeeded Major Montgomkry, the winter rigors of 
1862 — 3, were anticipated and the troops abundantly supplied bo- 
fore their approach. In this connection it may not be improper to 
say that the uniform courtesy and efficiency of Captain Ekin 
were of inestimable value to the State, and richly earned for him 
his subsequent advancement to the responsible position of Deputy 
Quartermaster General of the United States' Army. 
ESTABLISHMENT OF THE STATE SANITARY COMMISSION. 

As soon as it became evident that a permanent system of extra 
governmental aid for our soldiers would be required, some mode of 
procuring, as well as distributing, supplies became necessary. The 



324 ADJUTANT (3ENERAL's REPORT. 

Military Contingent Fund, appropriated by the Legislature, besides 
being divided among several objects of essential importance to the 
service, would not alone have sulFiced for the probable needs of the 
relief system. To meet this want Governor Morton, in February, 
1862, created the "Indiana Sanitary Commission," under the 
charge of Dr. William Hannaman, Military Agent, as President, 
and Alfred Harrison, Esq., of Indianapolis, as Treasurer. Both 
were peculiarly qualified by experience, disposition and business 
habits for their arduous duties, and both entered upon them and 
discharged them, till the close of the war, with a zeal that never 
flagged, an integrity that Vv^as never darkened by a shade of sus- 
picion of interested motives, and an efficiency that entitled them to 
the gratitude of the soldiers and the State. Primarily, the object 
of the Commission was to supply the Agency with means and 
material for the relief of our troops, but being under the same 
direction, with duties so closely allied as to be almost identical, 
and in fact being but one hand of the system of wdiich the Agency 
was the other, both were in effect one organization, and were pop- 
ularly known as one. The "Sanitary Commission" being con- 
stantly before the public by its appeals, its soliciting agents, and 
other eiforts, easil}^ became the representative of both, and as the 
" Srate Sanitary Commission" the Relief System of the State must 
stand in the records of its benefactions. 

The operations of the Commission can be most satisfactorily de- 
scribed by dividing them into their natural classes of " Collections" 
and " Distributions." The former was carried on by " Soliciting 
Agents" and auxiliary societies; the latter mainly by "Military 
Agents," though many special " Sanitary Agents" were dispatched 
from time to time to tiifferent points. 

COLLECTIONS. 
Auxiliary Societies. — The appeal of Governor Morton, in Octo- 
l)er, 18f)l, caused the formation of a number of associations, mainly 
of ladies, to supply the articles called for. These associations were 
not generally discontinued when the immediate object of their for- 
mation was accomplished, but kept on collecting and forwarding 
such articles of clothing, food, and hospital necessaries, as they 
deemed likely to be of service. When the Sanitary Commission 
was organized they fell easily into the position of auxiliary societies, 
and formed steady springs of supply to the stream of beneficence 
directed by the Commission. To them were added other societies. 



CONTRIBUTIONS OF MONEY AND SUPPLIKS. 325 

formed under the cflbrts and influence of the soliciting agents, who 
made it their main duty to establish and encourage them. The 
county .'^eat was usually made the location of the central society, 
and contributing societies were established in every township and 
neighborhood, as far as possible. Through these, the contributions 
of individuals, and of associations unconnected with the Commis- 
sion, W'cre collected and forwarded to the central society, or to the 
general office at the Capital ; and by them was continued and ex- 
tended the work inaugurated by the soliciting agents. These con- 
tributions were composed of everything available for field or hos- 
pital use; articles of clothing not included in Government stores* 
of food, particularly of vegetables, dried and caimed fruits, preserves 
and delicacies indispensable to the sick and convalescent; of bed- 
ding, books and the like, of the variety of which an idea can be ob- 
tained only from lists of contributions reported by the Commission^ 
It may not be uninteresting to give here, as an indication of the 
character of the work performed by these societies, a list of articles 
distributed by one of the agencies: — potatoes, dried apples, canned 
fruits, onions, kraut, pickles, dried peaches, wine, cordials, whiskey, 
eggs, butter, apple-butter, small fruits, lemons, ale, crackers, rice, 
farina, corn meal, tobacco, paper, envelopes, bed-sacks, comforts, 
quilts, sheets, pillows, pillow-slips, towels, shirts, drawers, rags, 
bandages, fans, pantaloons, combs, handkerchiefs, socks, lint, pads, 
comfort-bags, slippers, boxes of reading matter, gowns, crutches 
There is hardly one of these articles that would not be either an 
indispensable necessity, or an acceptable addition, to the comfort of 
any sick man, and it would be hard to conceive the suffering, and 
fatality even, that they have alleviated or prevented. 

Soliciting Agents. — The supplies of material comforts, such as 
have been described, were left to the auxiliary societies. But more 
was needed than food, clothing, bedding and reading, to make the 
work of the Commission effective. Without money some things 
of vital importance could not have been obtained, and very often, 
nothing could have been sent to its destination. Government 
transportation could not always be had, or could not be relieved of 
the trammels of routine, in time; and other things, as for instance, 
the personal expenses of agents in charge of supplies, delicacies for 
the sick not furnished in sufficient quantity, &c., had to be paid 
for in cash. Money was of course contributed through the auxil- 
iary societies frequently, but the main supply w^as furnished by the 



326 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

exertions of the soliciting agents. These men, of marked energy 
and ability, traveled all over the State, holding meetings, represent- 
ing the necessities of the soldier and the operations of the Com- 
mission, organizing so(Seties, soliciting supplies and money, and 
resorting even to personal and private appeals to citizens. They 
labored with a zeal and. perseverance that stopped for no obstacle i 
counted no cost of exposure, labor, or time ; that considered nothing 
beyond their duty that would procure money or goods for the 
soldier; and in this great work they achieved a success as credita- 
ble to themselves as to the liberality of the people. Dr. Haxnaman, 
in his report of January, 1865, mentions four agents as eminently 
successful: Captain Alonzo Atkinson, formerly of the Sixtcentii 
Regiment; Chaplain J. H. Lozier, formerly of the Thirty-Seventh 
Regiment; Hon. M. F. Suuey, of Elkhart county, and Rev. 
Benjamin Winans, of Lafayette. The aid of soliciting agents? 
however, was not called for until some months after the establish- 
ment of the Commission, the main dependence at first being upon 
auxiliary societies and voluntary contributions. 

Sanitanj Fairs. — One prolific source of the supply of money as 
well as of goods, was the "fairs," which, for the last two years of 
the war, constituted a feature of social life that a stranger might 
have easily misiaken for a fixed national habit. Neighborhood 
fairs, county fairs. State fairs, were constantly soliciting public at- 
tention, in one quarter or another of the whole country, and no- 
where more generally or successfully than in Indiana. It is true 
we had no gigantic displays, like those of Chicago or Philadelphia, 
for we were working only in an humble way, and depending solely 
upon ourselves ; but the aggregate results make as creditable a show- 
ing as any State can boast. Among the conspicuous contributions 
to the Sanitary Fund was that made to the Sanitary Fair by the 
Order of Freemasons, composed of the individual contributions of 
members. It amounted to ten thousand dollars, and is justly en- 
titled to a place beside the magnificent contributions reported by 
the United States Sanitary Commission. 

The State Sanitary Fair, held at Indianapolis, in the fall of 1863, 
at the time of the State Agricultural Fair, was eminently success- 
ful. The proceeds amounted to about forty thousand dollars. The 
State Board of Agriculture gave every aid to the enterprise, and 
contributed materially to its success. Vanderburg county was 
awarded a banner for the largest contribution made outside of Ma-

rion county. Many other edbrts, equally cotnniendable but less 
conspicuous, deserve mention, but any detailed account of the va- 
rious eontributions would swell this report ijeyond reasonable limits. 
The sum of the results achieved by the Commission is stated 
by Dr. Hannaman as follows: 

CASH. 

Cash on hand at organization $13,490 92 

Contributions in 18G2 9,038 20

Total value of goods $359,000 03 

Making the entire contribution to the State Sanitary Commis- 
sion, from its organization to its clos(>, 8606,570.78. In addition, 
the history of the United States Sanitary Commission reports con- 
tributions to that society from Indiana to the amount of ^1^16, 049.00, 
making a total contribution from this State for the relief of soldiers 
of 8622,620.29, exclusive of the amount donated in 1861, prior to 
the organization of the Commission. These contributions, it will 
be borne in mind, were the voluntary offerings of our people. An 
examination of the official returns, published in the Appendix of 
this volume, (see Document No. 8, pages 75 to 88,) will show that 
the additional sum of $4,566,898.06 was contributed by the coun- 
ties, townships, cities and towns of the State, for the relief of sol- 
diers' families and soldiers who were discharged by reason of 
wounds and disease. This shows an outlay, altogether, of over 
fire millions of dollars, to say nothing of the thousands of dollars, 
in money and supplies, that were furnished of which no account 
was ever kept. While Indiana has abundant reason to be proud 
of the glorious fame her soldiers won on every battle-field of the 
war where they were engaged, the foregoing record of the munifi- 
cent liberality and good faith of her citizens who remained at home, 
may well challenge the admiration of the world. 

This record would be incomplete if it omitted to testify to the 



328 ADJUTANT general's REPORT, 

constant efforts and restless energy of Governor Morton to forward 
the work of relief. He inspired every important movement, coun- 
selled in every great emergency, kept ]:)opuiar interest excited by 
stirring appeals, and, though charged with duties as onerous as 
ever fell upon the Executive of any State and allowing nothing in any 
of their multifarious details to escape his vigilance, he might have 
been thought, by those uninformed of his many labors, to have had 
nothing at heart but the succe?-s of his plans for the relief of the 
soldiers of Indiana and their dependent and needy families^ 

DISTRIBUTIONS. 

The goods contributed to local auxiliary societies were sent to 
the chief office at the Capital, where they were assorted, repacked,, 
and arranged for distribution. The cash was sent to the Treasurer, 

Of Cash. The money in the Tieasury was applied to the pur- 
chase of such articles as the Commission might not have on hand? 
and these, like others, were distributed by the agents of the Com- 
mission. 

Of Goods. The military agents at available points were usually 
made the agents of the Sanitary Commission for the distribution 
of goods, and they discharged this additional and important duty 
without additional pay.* 

The object of distribution, as already stated, was the preserva- 
tion of health and efficiency, rather than the cure of disease, though 
when there were sick and wounded their necessities were cared for 
first of all. The men were sought out, in camp and field, and sup- 
plied with what they needed. Aid was not reserved till sickness 
made it necessary to life, but it was given so that as little as possi- 
ble for sickness might be needed. During the investment of Nash- 
ville by the rebel force under General Hood, Colonel Shaw, the 
agent at that place, contributed materially to prepare our men for 
the arduous service that followed, by distributing among them sev- 
eral hundreds of barrels of apples, potatoes, onions and other vege- 
tables of quite as vital importance, oftentimes, as meat and bread. 
So at Atlanta, after the expulsion of the rebels from that place by 
General Sherman, our men, exhausted by weeks of continuous 
hard marching, hard fighting, and hard living, were recruited and 
many, no doubt, seasoned veterans though they were, were kept 
from the hospitals by the distribution of nearly a thousand barrels. 

"'See Appeadix, Doc. No. 87.

of potatoes and fruits, by tlie special agents sent to their relief by 
their Governor. 

It would be impossible, even if it were profitable, to give a 
detailed account of the operations of the various agents oi the Cotn- 
mission, but one case may be given as an illustration of the mode 
of distribution, and of the articles distributed. The steamer '■ City 
Belle," with Dr. C. J. Woods, as Sanitary Agent in charge, left 
Cairo, Illinois, on the 19ih of December, i860, to supply our troops 
along the Mississippi river. At Fort Pillow, our Fifty-JSecond Reg- 
iment was stationed, with tvi/enty-five sick, sixteen in the hospital* 
For the sick the agent left two barrels of potatoes, one of onions, 
and four dozen cans of fruit; for the well men, twelve barrels of 
potatoes, five of grean and one of dried apples, three of turnips, 
one of onions. At Memphis, for the Twenty-Fifih and Eighty- 
Ninth Regiments, were left fifty barrels of potatoes, five of onions, 
five of turnips, two of crackers, twenty of green apples, ten of dried 
apples, twenty dozen cans of fruit, and four boxes of clothing. At 
Helena, though there were no Indiana troops there, the general 
hospital had four hundred sick men of other States in it, and for 
these there were left twenty barrels of potatoes, nine of onions, ten 
of green apples, five of dried apples, five of turnips, and twenty 
dozen cans of fruit. This was in accordance with the standing 
direction of the Commission, which was, to " make all contribu- 
tions to general hospitals for general distribution," and not merely 
for the Indiana soldiers who might be in them. This fact is noted 
here for reference in another place. At Vicksburg, were the 
Twenty-Third and Fifty-Third Regiments, and they were given 
forty barrels of potatoes, twenty of green apples, six of dried 
apples, ten of onions, ten of turnips, two of cabbages, and twenty 
dozen cans of fruit. For the General Hospital at the same place, 
forty barrels of potatoes, twenty of green apples, ten of dried apples, 
ten of turnips, twenty dozen cans of fruit, and one box of bottled 
spirits. At Natches, then^ were no Indiana Regiments, but for the 
use of the Marine Hospital three barrels of potatoes, two of onions^ 
two of green apples, two of dried apples, one of crackers, and two 
dozen cans of fruit were left. At Baton Rouge, the Twenty- First 
Regiment was supplied with forty barrels of potatoes, ten of onions, 
twenty of green apples, five of dried apples, five of corn meal, and 
ten of turnips. For the Hospital, one barrel of cabbages, on& of 
pickled cabbage, one of crackers, three of green apples, one of dried

apples, two of onions, four of potatoes, one of turnips, one box of 
bottled whisky, two boxes of canned fruits, four boxes of clothing, 
and two boxes of reading matter. Arrived at New Orleans, the 
Agent emptied out the remainder of his health-giving cargo, 
altogether four hundred and forty-one barrels of potatoes, three 
hundred and twenty of green apples, one hundred and eighteen of 
dried apples, one hundred and twenty-one of onions, one hundred 
and forty-eight of turnips, thirteen of crackers, one hundred and 
twelve boxes of canned fruit, twenty-three boxes of bottled spirits, 
and one hundred and sixty boxes of reading matter and clothing. 
This expedition to supply the Mississippi river posts and hospi- 
tals, had many parallels, though not many of the same extent. From 
what was done by Dr. Woods, as here described, an imperfect idea 
may be formed of the general plan of relief. West, South and East, 
of the three years following the organization of the Commission. 
The extent of the distributions of the Commission may be judged 
from a brief summary of one of the reports of the agents, for 1H64. 
Jamks H. Tlrner, agent at Chattanooga, during Sherman's ad- 
vance to Atlanta, and for some months before and after, and con- 
sequently in charge of a large number of our troops, distributed to 
hospitals, regiments, and from the office, from the l'5th of Febru- 
ary to the 1st of September, six months and a half, 2,640 bushels 
potatoes, 15.985 pounds dried apples, 1,295 gallons kraut, 1,168 
cans fruit, 1,278 pounds dried peaches, 4-i2 bottles wine, 137 bottles 
whisky, 988 bushels onions, 461 dozens eggs, 493 pounds butter, 
211 gallons apple-butter, 157 pounds small fruit, 132 dozen lemons, 
220 bottles ale, 558 pounds crackers, 35 pounds rice, 1,800 pounds 
cornmeal, 100 pounds tobacco, 19 bed-sacks, 230 gallons pickles, 
35 bottles cordials, 995 shirts, 410 draw^ers, 124 sheets, 77 pillows, 
182 pillow slips, 9 comforts, 3,149 pounds rags, 4,055 bandages, 355 
fans, 82 pants, 35 combs, 442 handkerchiefs, 543 pairs socks, 228 
towels, 308 pads, 450 comfort-bags, 25 boxes reading matter. He 
also shipped to special agents, George Merritt, W. J. Wallace 
and Vincent Carter, 537 packages of vegetables, clothing, liquors, 
&c. These are sufficient to give an idea of the operations of the 
agencies, and the report need not be loaded with others of the same 
kind. Besides our own agents, distributions were sometimes made 
through the "Christian Aid Society" and the United States Sani- 
tary Commission, as their vouchers in the office at the Ca|)ital 
attest. 



UNFOUNDED ACCUSATIONS. 331 

To ivhom distributed. As already stated in the preceding para- 
graph, the agents of the Commi.ssion were instrncled to give to 
General Hospitals for general distribution, not lor Indiana soldiers 
alone, whatever was a fair proportion to the Indiana soldiers con- 
fined there. And as at Helena, Natchez, and other places, they 
contributed to hospitals what they could, whether there were Indi- 
ana soldiers in them or not. 

Of regiments in the field, and men fit for duty, the dtstribiitions 
were made first to Inclianians, but necessitous men of all Slates 
were supplied, as far as the means would allow. There was a pre- 
ference for our own men, but no exclusion of others. These in- 
structions were acted upon so generally, that applications to our 
agents for relief, from soldiers of other States, were common. 

Gratuitous aid. The Commission, through the president, ac- 
knowledges many services from the Superintendent of the Tele- 
graph Company at the Capital, in the way of gratuitous transmis- 
sion of dispatches; to the various Express Companies, which car- 
ried many hundreds of packages of contributions without charge; 
and to the various railroads centering at Indianapolis, for the free 
transportation of goods. These gratuitous services, paid for, 
would have cost thousands of dollars. 

Objections. It could hardly have been expected that an associa- 
tion with an object so exclusively unselfish should escape dispar- 
agement and resistance, for experience teaches us that mean men 
are very incredulous of disinterestedness in anybody. The man- 
agers and agents of the Commission were sometimes accused, by 
those who had no sympathy with its design, of appropriating the 
contributions to their own use, or neglecting to forward them, or 
perverting them to the pleasure of favorites. There was never a 
shadow of foundation for such charges, and they came always 
from men who were opposed to the war, and disloyal, in feeling, to 
the Government. From such, the Sanitary Commission received 
little help. The scarcity of contributions from opponents of the 
war was marked. Their services, like the statues in the Roman 
procession, were especially noted for their absence. That such 
men should wish true what they alleged, is easily believed, and it 
is hard not to believe that their suspicions were unconscious ad- 
missions of their own inclinations. The Commission has ample 
evidence of the promptness and honesty of all its actions, in the 



332 ADJUTANT general's KEPORT. 

letters of soldiers and nurses, and the declarations of all who made 
it an object to examine into the bu.^iness. 

Prof. 31. J. Fletcher. The first operations of the Sanitary Com- 
missions were made memorable b} the services and untimely death 
of Professor Milks J. FLETcnER, the Superintendent of Public In- 
struciion. He was among the very first to t;dve an active part in 
the efforts to relieve the wants of our soldiers, and was more con- 
stantly and prominently employed in that way than probably any 
other man in the State, up to the time of his death. And he died in 
the duty he had so disinterestedly assumed. He was on his way 
with Governor Morton, to Evansville, to accompany a hospital 
steamer with surgeons and supplies for the wounded at Corinth, 
Mississippi, and the train that was carrying him, at Sullivan, Sul- 
livan county, ran past a car left standing on a switch (purposely, it 
was suspected by many,) so close to the main track, that his head, 
as he was looking out of the window, was struck, causing death 
in^itantly. It was an irreparable loss to the State, to the Sanitary 
Commission, and to the cause of Education, of which he was so 
prominent a promoter, 

OPINIONS OF OTHER STATES. 

The efficiency of the Sanitary Commission, and the perfect 
adaptation of its modes of operation to the needs of both the sol- 
dier and the State, called forth frequent public expressions of ap- 
proval or admiration. Some of these may be quoted here, in just- 
ification of the pride in their organization which Indianians have 
so often exhibited. 

A. D. RicuARDSON, waiting from Fredericksburg, Va., to the New 
York Tribune, under date of December 18th, 1862, speaking of the 
presence of two of our Agents witli the Army, inmiediately after 
the battle at Fredericksburg, which was fought December 14th, 
1862, spoke as follow^s : 

"The peculiar and constant attention to the troops his State has sent out so 
promptly, is the prominent feature of Governor Morton's most admirable admin- 
istration. In all our armies, from Kansas to the Potomac, wherever I have met In- 
diana troops, I have encountered some officer of Governor Morton, going about 
among them inquiring especially as to their needs, both in camp and hospital, and 
performing those thousand offices the soldier so often requires. Would that the 
same tender care could be extended to every man from whatever State, who is 
fighting the battles of the Republic." 

In October 1864, General Barlow, Quartermaster General of 



GOVERNOR BROUGlfs OPINION. 333 

Ohio, in acknowledging the receipt of a letter from the Adjutant 
General of Indiana detailing the main features of our relief 
system, said : 

" The plan adopted by your State is certainly as nearly perfect as I should suppose 
it could be made, and T am gTatified to find, that so far as this State lias pursued 
any definite plan tor the relief of her soldiers, it lias been essentially the same as 
that your State, by further perfecting, has rendered so eminently successful."* 

Numerous other commendations from high sources migl)t be 
given, but it will be sufiicient to add here the following extract 
from the annual message of Governor Brougu of Ohio in 1864. 

" AVhile I desire to be fairly understood as not impeaching or desiring to impair 
the value of either of the associati<)ns laboring for the relief of our soldier.-, I still 
adhere to the opinion expressed to you last -winter, that more real good can be ac- 
complished at less expense through State agencies and our societies tlian in any 
other way. While extending our own operations, I have carefully watched those 
of our sister State of Indiana, and have found that her system merits the strongest 
commendation. It is simple in its character. Its central society at the Capital, 
under the immediate care of the Governor, receives all the contributions from the 
various aid societies. 

"These are classified and distributed to the various State Agents, according to 
the wants of their departm.ents, who in time distribute them among the men. The 
State provides a fund to aid in the purchase of goods not contributed, and pnys the 
transportation. There is no expensive macl'.inery about it — no waste or extrava- 
gance. It has been objected to as being local and separate in its character; but 
this is not the fiict. While tlie first care ot the Agent is for Indiana men, no other 
soldier in want or distress, has ever, to my knowledge, appjcaled to an Indiana 
agency without having his wants relieved. The Indiana agents have frequently 
divided their stores with the agents of Ohio, and we have always tried to recipro- 
cate the kindness. 

" Tiiere are many benefits attending this system, which should not be disre- 
garded. 

"1. It is decidedly the most economical way of aggregating and distributing ttic 
contributions of our people, and expending the means appropriated by the State 
for this purpo.^e. 

" 2. It renders certain the distribution of all supplies to the objects and purposes 
for w'lich they are intended. There is hardly a possibility for misappropriation. 
There is no machinery about it to be kept lubricated and no class of middle men fo 
levy toll upon It. 

" 3. By proper care and management, it is made more prompt and encrgeiie tlian 
any other mode; and by being more systematic will be more general and apjiropri- 
ate in its relief. 

"4. It fosters and gratifies the State pride of our soldiers. It comes nearer to 
the feeling of home, as the soldier regards an Ohio Agency as a place where he 
has a right to enter and expect a welcome. If he is in want, there is no sy.-tera of 
orders and requisitions to go through, no prying or unpleasant catechism for him to

submit to. The pupplies furnislied by Iiis people and State are there, and he feel? 
he is no object of charity when he partakes of them. His remembrances of home 
are freshened — his attachment to his State is quickened and increased— and he goes 
away feeling that he is not neglected or forgotten — that the cause of the country is 
still worth upholding, and the dear old State still -worth defending from the encroach- 
ments of the rebel adversary. And this is doubly the case where the Agent passes 
almost daily through his hospital, bends over the bed on which he is stretched with 
sickness or wounds, inquires kindly into his wants, and ministers unto them from the 
benefactions of his people and the liberality of his State. Surely this spirit is worth 
cherisliing ahd preserving." 

UNITKI) STATES AND INDIANA SANITARY COMMISSION. 

The action of our State authorities, in organizing a systeiri of re- 
lief for our soldiers independently of other States, of tiie General 
Government, and of the national organization of the " United 
States Sanitary Commission," has occasionally provoked unfavor- 
able reflections, which, as they have been given form and author- 
ity by the ofl^icial " History of the United States Sanitary Com- 
mission," it would be doing injustice to our Commission to pass 
without notice. The charges, for they have the effect, though not 
the form, of charges, of seltishness, of interference with the disci- 
pline of the army, and of inelliciency (comparing what itdid v.Mth 
what it could have done if its eflbrts had been properly directed), 
are contained in the following extracts. 

1st. In reference to the battle at Fort Donelson, it says: 
" The truth is, the wonderful success which has attended the 
Commission's experiment of transporting the wounded in hospital 
boats after the surrender of Fort Donelson, has stimulated a great 
variety of organizations, and even the State governments, to pro- 
vide similar means of relief." (See page 149.) 

The entire want of preparation, in this direction, of the Medical 
Department of the army, is admitted on page 144, and is urged as 
" one of the countless practical illustrations of the consequences of 
a rigid adherence to routine in the early part of the war." 

Mr. Stii,i,k, the author of the History, might, if he had tried, 
have satisfied himself that the deficiency of preparation on the part 
of the Government which he laments, was known to the State au- 
thorities of Indiana, and of other Western States, quite as well as 
it was to the agents of the " United States Sanitary Commission." 
They needed, and had, no example of that benificent organization 
to stimulate them to provide hospital steamers for their wounded 
when they made the first attempt. Immediately after the battle at 



UNGRACIOUS CRITICISMS. 335 

Fort Donclson, and long before it was known that any similar 
effort would be made by any other State or society, a steamer was 
chartered by Gt)vernor MorTOxN to carry to our wounded the assist- 
ance contributed by jmblic meetings, held at Indianapolis and 
other places, tlie day the news of the battle was received. Our aid 
was as early on the ground as that of the United States Commis- 
sion, and earlier. These statements of the History are referred to 
here, not as a charge of inefficiency or dilatory action to be refuted, 
but as a claim of undivided merit to be corrected. 

2d. Of State operations at Sliiloh : " It seems ungracious to 
criticise the work of a body of men engaged in an effort to relieve 
the suffering, even if their methods are not wholly in accordance 
with true principles, but there was one feature in the mode adopted 
by those who had charge of the steamers sent by the State Govern- 
ments of Ohio, Indiana and lihnois, wliich was so obviously w^rong 
in principle, and so entirely in contrast with the Natioiial and 
Catholic spirit which charcterized the operations of the Commis- 
sion, that it deserves notice. These boats were intended solely for 
the reception of wounded men belonging to each of these States 
respectively, and all others were rigidly excluded from them. 

* * * The indiscreet zeal which was willing to recognize 
State lines, even in its ministrations of mercy on the battle-field» 
c-dn hardly he too strongly condemned. It was only another develop- 
ment of that obnoxious heresy of State sovereignty, against which 
the whole war was directed, and its practical injury to the national 
cause in creating disaffection among troops who were nor recipients 
of its peculiar care, was scarcely less great than its violation of 
tiiose sacred laws of humanity which make no distinction in the 
relief bestowed upon the suffering, except to seek first for those who 
most need succor. Against tiiis Stateish spirit the Sanitary Com- 
mission resolutely set its face at all times," etc. (See pages 150, 
151. 

Inhumanity and selfishness are serious charges to be preferred 
against a professedly benevolent organization, and the more serious 
when, as in this case, the fundamental principles of the organiza- 
tion are held to create or compel the evil. Whether there may be 
any connection between th(^ political doctrine of "State sover- 
eignty" and the moral, or inimoral, doctrine of " Statci>hness," or 
State selfishness, it will be wortli while to inquire, after inquiring 
whether it is "selfish" for the people of a State to prefer, in their 



336 ADJUTANT GENEHAl's REPORT, 

service to the suffering, their own relatives and friends to others, no 
more necessitous, who are neither. The impulse to care ft)r our 
own is innate and indispensable. Without it, there would be no 
stronger bond among men than among cattle. The same impulse 
that makes a man labor and suffer for hivS own family more than he 
would for the families of others, that makes him fight for his owti 
country in preference to a foreign country, that makes him a 
patriot instead of a cosmopolitan, directs the people of a State to 
give a preference to the suffering of their ov^n over those of other 
States, It differs only in degree, not in kind. No one will claim 
that it should be as strong as the family or national preference, but 
no one ought to claim that it should be obliterated, until the time 
shall come when constant association in the same duties, connec- 
tion in the same interests, obedience to the same laws, sujiport of 
the same institutions, shall create no bond of union stronger than 
the common tie of humanity. That lime will come with tiic mil- 
lenium, but not before. So long as there are State governments, 
and duties, interests and institutions, limited by State lines, so long 
there will be a "Stateish" as well as a national feeling. If it is 
selfish, it is so only as the '■'•esprit dii corps''' of an army is selfish, as 
the spirit that impels all men, thrown habitually together or under 
the same influences, to recognize a comtnunity of feeling, is selfish. 
St. Paul not only recognizes such a feeling as commendable, but 
enjoins its exercise as a duty: "If any provide not for his own, 
and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, 
and is worse than an infidel." This is not a precept of inhumanity, 
bat it is that upon which the action of our people was based which 
this author declares "can not be too strongly condemned." Indiana 
did no more than care for her "own," and ^he did not neglect to 
care for others when her own were provided for. If the Good 
Samaritan had found two wounded travelers by the road-side, 
equally needy, and one of them had been his friend, and the other 
a stranger, it is not improbable that the friend would have had the 
first use of the "wine and oil." But the proverbial designation of 
a charitable man would hardly have grown out of his case, if he 
had helped his friend and left the other to die. Indiana did as the 
Good Samaritan would have done. She "provided for her own," 
and then for others. Colonel Holloway, in his dispatch to Gov- 
ernor Morton, from Shiloh, says : "All were supplied, after which 
we distributed supplies to surgeons connected with regiments from 



STATE SYSTEM OF RELIEF CONDEMNED. 337 

other States." This, as set forth in a preceeding part of this Re- 
port, was the rule of the Commission. The distribution to hospi- 
tals where there were no Indiana soldiers, mentioned in Dr. Woods' 
report, (quoted in the same connection,) is a refutation of tiic chari^(\ 
Governor Brouoh, of Ohio, gives his testimony to the same point, 
in the message already quoted : "AVhile the first care of the agent 
is for the Indiana juen, no Ohio soldier, in want or distress, has 
ever, to my knowledge, appealed to an Indiana agency without 
having his wants relii'ved. The Indiana agents have frequently 
divided their stores with the agents of Ohio, and we have ahvays 
tried to reciprocate the kindness." 

If these services created "disaffection among the troops who 
were not recipients" of them, and should therefore be condemned, 
we may as well eondcMun every man who, finding himself unable 
to help all the needy he sees, helps as many as he can. The "dis- 
affection," however, uniformly took the shape of censure of those 
who should have done likewise, and did not, or left the duty to 
organizations that undertook more than they could perform and 
cen»'ured those who chose to do only what they felt they could do. 
As to the "rigid exclusion" of other than Indiana soldiers from In- 
diana hospital boats, it only need be said that when all available 
room is occupied, or assigned to be occupied, "rigid exclusion" of 
additions is pretty much a necessity. But the monopoly of means 
of transportation for sanitary supplies is not a necessity, and yel 
"the National and Catholic spirit" of the United States Sanitary 
Commission monopolized them. The spirit either did not penetrate 
all its agents, or its Catholicity was capable of a construction anal- 
agous to that which in ecclesiastical matters limits it to a single 
church. For at Louisville, the instructions to Qsartermasters 
placed the transportation of sanitary stores under the direction of 
the United States Commission, and our agent. Dr. Woods, says, 
December 20th, 1862: "This Sanitary Commission (the U. S.) is 
unwilling to forward any goods or sanitary stores unless they arc 
consigned unconditionally to them." They must have a monopoly 
of benevolence at the expense of destroying by delay the value of 
the contributions of parents and friends. The historian should 
have w^aited before throwing stones till he had found whether there 
miglit not be glass exposed in his own house. 

3d. In condemnation of the wdiole system of State relief, it is 
said: " K the action of the State authorities had been confined to 
Vol. 1—23. 



666 ADJUTANT GENERAL S REPORT. 

efforts to improve the general administration of the service, and 
thus to benefit all alike, its influence would have been irresistible and 
its effect most salutary. (See page 152.) Again; "If half the 
energy ivasted by the Governors of t he various States in the vain effort 
to supplant the Federal authorities, in ti)e work they were doing so 
imperfectly, had been concentrated in an effort to force them to do 
it more thoroughly, we should not have to iell that the horrors of 
Shiloh and other bloody battle fields were mitigated onhj by the 
voluntary and partial efforts of humane, zealous^ but irresponsible 
persons." (See page 153.) 

It may be suggested that it would isave been just as well for the 
accuracy and credit of the History, if what it "had to tell" had 
been left untold. The statement makes the impression that the 
care of the suffering was left to accidental and irresponsible hu- 
manity, that is, to men with no commission or power but that of 
their own hearts. This is untrue. At Shiloh, and wherever 
wounded Indianians were to be found, there were men duly author- 
ized and directed by our State Commission, to "mitigate the hor- 
rors of the battle field." Not accidental visitors impelled merely 
by humanity, but oflicers acting upon a well-settled system, with 
ample means and positive instructions. It is true they were re- 
sponsible to no law; they could not be jmnished, but by universal 
detestation, for neglect or misconduct; but they were not the acci- 
dental benefactors the History makes them. They were parts and 
representatives of a system as complete as the system of national 
government, and in no sense a display of mere individuol benefi- 
cence. 

Whether our Governor's energy was ^'-umstctV^ in collecting and 
distributing over ^600,000 worth of stores, can be best decided by 
ascertaining whether that amount of hospital stores and sanitary 
supplies was consumed without doing anybody any good. 

As to " supplanting" the duties of the Government, it may be 
said that half as much time expended in ascertaining what these 
Governors were trying to do, as has been mischievously consumed 
in writing the sentences mis-stating and censuring their action, 
would have saved the historian the mortification of exhibiting his 
censoriousness and carelessness together. Our labor v/as directed? 
not to "supplant," but to complete, the defective labors of the Gov- 
ernment. There was no interference. Each laborer could do v.'hat 
it could, and both together were not likely to do too much. 



FxEASONS FOR MAINTAINING INDEPENDENCE. 339 

Mr. U. R. Corson, the Indiana agent at Philadelphia, states the 
case accurately in his report of January 19lh, 1854: "It (the plan 
he approves) is in brief to call upon each State authority to em- 
power an agent in all the principal cities used as hospital depots, 
to discover and relieve distroes of the sick and wounded that lie 
outside of the General Government's path of exertion. * * * 
The j)lan has fulfilled the highest expectations formed of it. It is 
indeed nothing more Ihan directing into a special channel those 
composite energies which our peculiar national constitution devei- 
opes: the General Government does its share, the separate States 
do their share, and between the united actions of both, the utmost 
good is probably done that oj)portunity and circumstances will 
admit." 

The Indiana Sanitary Commission did not append itself to the 
United States Commission. This is the secret, apparently, of the 
censures applied to it and similar eflbrts of other recusant States. 
The reasons why it maintained its independence are: 

First. The United States Commission was organized to perfect 
the Government provisions and regulations for the health of the 
army. What it did, was not to flow outside, but through, the 
Government's efforts, and thus to enlarge them to the exigencies of 
the war. This was necessarily a slow work. Our Commission 
was the product of a pressing necessity. Our men could not wait 
for overcoats in the mountains in Western Virginia till the United 
States Conunission had perfected Government regulations, and, 
still harder, had converted regular army ofEcers into practical men. 
_ They must be clothed at once. The proct^ss of supplying them 
created our agencies, and these grew into our Commission. It had 
to act outside of the Government, and beginning in that way, find- 
ing it profitable and the Government constantly approving its work, 
it kept on. It interfered with nothing that anybody else wanted to 
do. It prohibited no service to our men that it could not render it- 
self. It was ready to help any other soldiers when it could. In 
short, it was modest, helpful, and free from jealousies^ It could 
have been no more, and done no better, as an appendage of the 
National association. It did its work well, the United States San- 
itary Commission could do no more. Why change one good thing 
we were used to, for another no better, that we knew nothing about ? 
Second. As a subordinate of the National Commission, its 
action as well as its agents would have been controlled by men of 



340 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. \ 

whom we knew nothing. Men of whom the soldiers had never ; 
heard, who had no acquaintance with their homes or friends, who 
had only an ordinary official interest in them, would have been 
sent to their bed sides, would have had to bear all their little com- 
missions and listen to their sick longings for home, with which no 1 
sympatliy of neighborhood or previous acquaintance could exist. | 
This would have been less pleasing to the patient and less bene- * 
ficial, too, than the presence of men whom they knew, or who 
knew of their parents and relatives. And it would have been less 
likely to impel the liberality of the people, to have strangers solicit- 
ing contributions, and strangers very often entrusted with their dis- 
tribution. Men naturally prefer to trust those whom they know. 
And the 8600,000 dollars contributed by Indiana for soldiers' 
relief is due mainly to the fact that it was made by Indiana men 
through Indiana agents for Indiana soldiers at the instigation of 
Indiana's Governor. This may appear very narrow, and possibly 
silly, to brains expanded by the contemplation of national organiza- 
tions, but it shows a knowledge of the springs of human nature 
without which success in such efforts is impossible. 

Third. The magnitude of the operations of the National Com- 
mission made a system of guards and checks, and a more compli- 
cated machmery, necessary. In ours none were necessary. Every 
man employed was known to the Commission. Our operations 
were, therefore, like those of an army " marching light." Tliey 
could be commenced at a moment's notice anywhere, and carried 
on without any hindrance of " approvals " and " orders" and '• requi- 
sitions," wherever an agent could carry a sackful of potatoes. It. 
was always serviceable. The people knew it, and they did not 
know that the other was. 

In fine. The State Commission got all the money that the 
United States Commission could have done ; it used it all with 
scrupulous fidelity for the benefit of soldiers, which is all the United 
States Commission could have done; it was never out of the 
way when its services were needed, which is all that the other 
could have been ; it was always first, or among the first, on the 
battle field, and its services were always cordially recognized by 
the soldiers; and what more could the United States Commission 
have done ? It did not try to do so much, but what it did left 
nothing for the other to do in the same field, or nothing that was 
not four-fold made up by reciprocal service. There was nothing 



SUBORDINATE AGENCIES. 341 

to gi^in by changing the State Commission to an auxiliary of the 
United States Commission. And there was something to lose, — ihc 
home interest, the State pride, and the liberality impelled or in- 
creased by them, of which, let the motive be creditable or not, the 
soldier received the benefits. 

SUBORDIXATE MILITARY AGENCIES- 

An acr-ount h is been given of the origin of the Military Agencies 
of ihc State in the nece-ssity of distributing the supplies called 
forth by the ajipeal of Governor JMorton, in October, 1861, and a 
general statement of their duties made in the same connection. A 
full report of their services would have been impossit)le in that 
place, without swelling the sketch beyond its due proportion to the 
history of which it is a part. But this report would be incomplete 
without presenting some idea of the manner in which the numer- 
ous duties imposed were discharged. A list of the various agencies, 
with the name of the agent, time of appointment, place and dur- 
ation of sevice, is inserted in the appendix.* 

The subordinate agents were at first charged merely with the 
duty of following the arndes in which our troops were embodied, 
and distributing among them, and the field and regimental hos- 
pitals, such supplies as were placed at their disposal. They were 
confined by no "red tape " restrictions, but, being selected for their 
known capacity and integrity, they were left free to follow their 
own discretion as to the application of their services. They were 
simply to do what was best for those most necessitous. But as 
the war progressed and permanent hospitals were established, and 
permanent places of rendezvous or centres of transportation were 
fixed, it became necessary to make agencies permanent at these 
points, without discontinuing those that kept the track of our ad- 
vancing forces. The first of these was created at Philadelphia, by 
the appointment of Mr. R. R. Corson, June 28th, 1862. Their 
duties are fully set forth in the following letter of instructions given 
by Governor Morton to Dr. David Hltciiixson, the Agent at 
Nashville, Tennessee: 

"Executive Department of Indiana, 
Indianapolis, Ducombcr 12, 18G2.

provided for that purpose, noting their condition, etc.; see that they are furnished

" O. P. Mor.Tox, Governor of Indiana." 

The necessities of the soldiers, however, developed additional 
duties. Many returning home on furlough were without money, 
and had forgotten, in their eagerness to get home, to obtain Gov- 
ernment passes. The Agents were required to help these on their 
way. Many more arrived at the Agencies without clothes and in 
distress. They were to be relieved. As terms of service expired 
back pay was to be obtained. Claim Agents too often used up the 
arrears in needless expenses and exorbitant fees. Our Agents 
were required to obtain them gratuitously. Bounties were often 
left unpaid in the haste of pushing forward needed reinforcements 
to the field, or the want of means in the hands of Paymasters to 
pay them. Our Agents were directed to procure them. Pensions 
also became a prolific source of indispensable services. Prisoners, 
parolled or exchanged, always needed help, and ofted needed every- 
thing that sickness, nakedness and starvation could require. The 



SERVICES OF AGENTS. 343 

Agencies were the instruments of alleviation. Through them also 
large relief contributions were dispatched to soldiers still in prison. 
Agents were also employed in collecting and forwarding to families 
such portions of their pay as the soldier desired to send home. 

Of the services performed in these various ways, an idea can be 
beat obtained by classifying them and giving examples of each 
class. 

Their Services — Distributions. — Little need be added here to 
the sketch given in the history of the " Sanitary Commission,"' of 
the articles, modes, or objects of distribution, or to the exposition 
of the rules by which this service was directed. It is sufficient to 
add, that the six: hundred thousand dollars of cash, and stores 
furnished by our people were conveyed promptly and directly to the 
soldiers. Comparatively little was lost, injured, or mischievously 
delayed. The beneficence of the State reached its objects as nearly in 
the perfection with which it started, as human sagacity and energy 
could accomplish it. This was the eflbrt in which the History of the 
United States Commission says, "the energies" of our Governor 
"were wasted.''- If that is a waste of energy it would not have 
injured the army greatly for even the United States Commission to 
have begun a wider "waste" of its energies in the same direction. 
If it was a "waste" it was because our soldiers w^ere .so unfortunately 
constituted, that over a half million dollars worth of sanitary sup- 
plies and hospital stores could be consumed by the healthy without 
strengthening them, or by the sick without relieving them. It 
would be both profitable and interesting to illustrate the services of 
the agents by extracts from their reports, but it would swell this 
volume beyond all reasonable limits. 

Registers., Hospital Sen-ice, Aid to Relatives, etc. — So many du- 
ties connected with the care of the sick and wounded soldiers need 
mention, to give a just idea of the scope of the duties of agents, 
that it will be better to present a few extracts from reports relating 
vi^hat has been done in the [^articular cases described, than to at- 
tempt to pick out of each the separate services and present them in 
separate groups. 

James H. Turner, at Chattanooga, says, "records of sick and 
deseased soldiers were kept, and frequent reports made to your 
ofl&ce for the information of friends, keepsakes and other property 
of the dying deposited with me found their w^ay to Indianapolis. 
Letters were written for the sick to friends at home, and in every 



344 ADJUTANT general's REPORT, 

way possible the wishes of the dying were cared for. * * * 
The arrival of eitizens looking after sick, wounded, and dead 
friends, gave me much additional labor. I took wives to the bed- 
sides of dying husbands, and wept with mothers and sisters over 
fallen sons and brothers. I lent money to pay for embalming 
bodies, and gave passes furnished by Indiana to enable the mourn- 
ers to reach their homes. Many will bless the day when th(>y found 
those little magic tickets." 

Mr. 11. R. Corson, of Philadelphia, writes January 19th, 1864, 
in regard to the benefits of the Indiana plan of aiding the soldier: 
"First, the work of keeping the State accurately and frequently ap- 
prised of the condition and location of her every soldier in hospital 
in this city. » » * rpi^^ State is enabled to answer 

questions made by friends, to correct desertions falsely reported, 
and check oil discharges from the true date as no longer recipients 
of further State bounty money. Thcrelbre, I make every exertion, 
to make my lists complete and accurate. Within six hours alter 
the arrival of any sick or wounded man, the hospital to which he is 
assigned is reported to me. He is then visited, his name, company, 
regiment, ward and bed registered, and these details are sent to you 
when the number swells to a score. The sufferer once being noted, 
constant watch iskept upon him; the hospitals being visited daily 
every change is noted, and I am able, in this way, to give a full 
history of ench patient during his sojourn here. * '^ 

When articles of clothing have been needed, I have generally got 
them from the Sanitary Commission. Smaller articles, such as 
postage stamps, stationery, tobacco, car-tickets etc., I have furn- 
ished myself. As usually the men come from the field with from 
four to six months pay due them, and entirely out of t'unds to 
these men in a strange city among strangers, these little articles are 
most grateful, being gifts direct from their own State — an evidence 
that they are not forgotten. The lists kept at my headquarters are 
consulted by the soldiers irom the different hospitals, who are able 
to ride about, and from them the whereabouts of their comrads 
in distant hospitals is obtained. With car-tickets furnished by me, 
they are enabled to reach the most distant points in the city in a 
short time and enjoy a pleasant ride. Letters of inquiry from 
friends at a distance are frequently received. These are given im- 
mediate attention, and after visiting the patient in person, are an- 
swered with full particulars of the case." 



RELIEF SYSTEM PRACTICALLY APPLIED. 345 

Dr. Woods at Louisville, says : " We render assistance to all as 
far as we can. We give precedence to the most distressing. A 
poor soldier is about to die at Park Barracks. We obtain for him 
a discharge furlougj], give him transportation, and send him home 
to die in his family. I spent a whole day with his case alone. A 
poor widow came here with but one child in the world, and he is a 
soldier sick in the hospital. She has no dependence but him. She 
is robbed at the Depot of every cent she has. ]No possible means 
to go home except to get her son discharged, draw his pay and go 
home on that. She obtains from the surgeon a certilicate of disa- 
bility. His case is rejected by the Board of examining surgeons. 
For her we work." Scores of cases similar to these are reported. 
" I met a soldier who had lost the power of speech by sickness. 
He had been sent here without a i)ass. He knew no more what to 
do or where to go than a sheep. I took him to the medical director 
and the hospital." 

Colonel Ed. Shaw, at Nashville, posted up a notice from Gov- 
ernor iMoRTON that '-AH persons visiting the hosjiitals to look after 
sick, wounded or deceased friends, should call on the regular 
Indiana Military Agent who will render every possible assistance," 
and that the office should be oj^en night and day. The notice, he 
says, drew large numbers of people, whose desires created a vast 
amount of business. Besides, he made it his duty to notify rela- 
tives of the deaths in the hospital or field when it was necessary ; 
to take charge of the eflects, ascertain the place of burial, and send 
home dead bodies. 

Colonel Ham, in regard to the duties of agents to citizens visiting 
soldiers, says: "There is one feature of this agency which has 
doubtless paid all the expense of it, that is obtaining passes for 
citizfuis. Had it not been for this hundreds of n:icn and women 
would have been detained for days and even then have had to 
return without visiting their friends, as many had to do from other 
States, by not having agents at this point. Thousands of citizens 
who came to Louisville from other States have cause to thank 
Governor Morton for establishing this agency. My office has been 
the resort of all loyal citizens. The Pass office seldom, if ever, 
refuses to grant a pass on my recommendation." Instances of- 
service of this kind to fathers, mothers and other relatives might be 
given by thousands. 

Of service to soldiers in hospitals, he says: " Much of my time 



346 xtDJUTANT general's REPORT. 

lias been occupied in taking the wounded and feeble soldiei*s to the 
Medical Director's to be examined for a discharge, and from there 
to the Discharge and Pay offices, and after getting their pay, in 
taking them to the railroad station and seeing them off for home." 
Writing letters and procuring descriptive lists for soldiers were im- 
portant and constant duties of the agents. 

Services Relating to the Dead. — Dr. Hanxaman, Chief Agent, 
says: "Memorials of the dead are hunted up, preserved and sent to 
friends at home. These are obtained in various ways — from the 
hand of the dying man, or from his person at burial ; frotn the 
company officers, or from Government sales if not previously se- 
cured. Hundreds of knapsacks have been returned to this office 
through the military agencies and delivered to anxious friends. 
Many are the applications we have had to obtain, if possible, some 
keepsake of the patriot dead." Records of graves were preserved 
at each agency. 

These extracts will suffice to show how multifarious were the 
duties of the military agents, and hovs/ impossible it would have 
been for any Government machinery to have supplied the want o^ 
i\iQ ever-ready, anxious and kindly zeal of these friends, and how 
vital to the soldier the service it rendered was. Besides assisting 
relatives and friends in the search for sick and Vi^ounded, a great deal 
of service svas rendered in procuring means of transportation for 
such as were needy, or had been (as was often the case) robbed, or 
were upon charitable missions. 

Passes. — Dr. Hannaman says, in his report of December, 1864: 
" Our agents daily find soldiers who for months have been wasting 
away with disease, or suffering from wounds, and who have re- 
ceived no pay but are furloughed and discharged without the means 
of getting liome. Such men are supplied with our Indiana military 
passes. Again, a wife, m.other or sister seeks some dear friend who 
has been wounded, but is destitute of the means of reaching the 
desired hospital or camp. In such cases we extend the aid of the 
State. These passes are given to surgeons and nurses, also to san- 
itary agents, and occasionally to refugees. The number of passes 
issued to the close of 1864, to soldiers, was 3,053 ; to soldiers' v/ives, 
509; to sanitary agents, 339; to nurses, 222 ; to special surgeons, 
106; to military agents, 154; to refugees, 109: total, 4,542. The 
average cost to the State was about two dollars for each pass. 

Transfers. — Transfers to hospitals at home were always most 



COLLECTIONS OF CLAIMS, 347 

eagerly desired by all the soldiers, and in serious cases it was a far 
surer cure than any that medical skill could devise. The agents 
did much of this work. Colonel Ham, at Louisville, says, Dec(Miiber 
15th, 1864 : " The labor and influence of your State Agent, in pro- 
curing and hastening through these special transfers, have enabled 
hundreds of soldiers to go to the hospitals of their own State, and 
saved a large expense to our citizens who have come here to take 
care of sick and wounded soldiers and could only remain at a heavy 
expense." This must serve as a sample of many similar reports. 

Colonel Fkank Howe, Agent at New York, July 18th, 1862, 
writes thus of the order prohibiting transfers: " I am obliged to 
turn a deaf ear to the applications and entreaties of fathers, mothers, 
wives and relatives who daily come from a distance to take their 
dear ones home. The majority of these cases will be unfit lor duty 
for thirty or sixty days, while in their native air and surrounded by 
home comforts, they would convalesce much more rapidly than 
they could any where else. I am satisfied the Government does 
not comprehend the position of matters here." 

Transfers were at last greatly reduced in necessity by the im- 
l^roved character and number of permanent ho^^pitals, and they 
were not so generally permitted. One influence greatly contribut- 
ing to this end is thus stated by Dr. Jobes, September 21, 1864: 
"So many furloughed soldiers are overstaying their time, that ir is 
going to be a vast source of trouble. They are all marked as de- 
serters, and when the record is once made up, it is a permanent 
one, and although there may not be any criminal intent in any of 
these cases, the record evidence of it will be hard to disprove.'' The 
evil arising from this source was so great that at last General Ghaxt 
was compelled to issue an order prohibiting furloughs or transfers. 

Collection of Claims. — The next most important service of the 
agencies was the gratuitous collection of back pay and bounties, 
and procurement of pensions. Most of them, from their locaiion, 
or other disadvantages, could not helpfully attempt this, and the 
gi-eater part of it was performed by those at Indianapolis and 
Washington Cilv. The amount thus collected up to November, 
1866, was over three hundred thousand dollars. 

The agency at Indianapolis was also charged with the duty of 
assisting officers who had resigned or been discharged in, making 
settlement of their accounts. Much trouble and expense was 
saved by it to officers. 



848 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

The numerous cases of extortion, fraud, and downright robberv 
j^racticed upon soldiers by real or pretended claim agents, suggested 
to Governor Morton this valuable means of saving to them 
their hardly earned and long-delayed dues. The effect was even 
more beneficial than could liave been anticipated, and inspired the 
authorities of several States, — among them those of Ohio and New 
York, — to adopt the same policy for their soldiers. The former 
issued a circular urging its adoption, and the Adjutant General of 
New York recommended it there. Numerous letters are reported 
by our agents to have been received, testifying the gratitude of the 
men for the benefit they had enjoyed, and relating instances o' 
the outrages they had suffered before the agency was established. 
or before they had learned of its existence. 

Besides these more important collections of agents at Washing- 
ton and Indianapolis, those at other points assisted soldiers in pro- 
curing |)ay, whenever applied to. 

Transmission of Soldivrs^ Money. — The necessity of sending 
home more or less of their pay to maintain their families, made it 
very important to the soldiers that facilities should be afforded 
them for this jDurpose. Accordingly agents were early dispatched 
to follow the armies, collect ail the money the soldiers wished to send 
home, and take effective measures to send it home.* 

General Stonf, reports, January 26th, 1862, that he collected 
^1^7,000 of the Eighth regiment at Otterville, Missouri, and brought 
it wiih him. 

Thomas A. Goodwin, a collecting agent with the army on the 
Teimessee river, writes thus of his eflbrts, June 12th, 1862: "On 
the 2nd of June, having accumulated $125,000, I left for the State, 
deeming a longer delay unjust to the regiments paid." Again, 
July 9th. 1862, of a visit to North Alabania, he says: "I received 
some 8ol,000, chiefly from the Ninth and Thirty-Sixth Indiana regi- 
ments and Cox's battery, with some gleanings from other regiments." 

B. F. TuTTLR, October 5th, 1862, reports the following collec- 
tions: Camp Nevin, 87,000; Camp Nashville, >:^15,000; Camp 
Woodstock, $37,050; total, $59,050. 

These, like all other instances of the labors of our agents, are 
merely specimens of frequent or constant services. Later in the 
War, the Government, under an act of Congress, appointed "Allot- 
ment Commissioners," v^diose duties replaced those of Collecting

SPECIAL AGENCIES. 349 

Agents, and that portion of the work of Ihe Sanitary Commission 
was discontinued. 

Prisoners. — As already stated in the sketch of 1hc history o{ 1ho 
C'oninii.-sion, contributions for relief of our prisoners at Riehuiond 
\vere conveyed through the agencies at Washington and City 
Point to their destination. Governor Morton at one time pur- 
chased some 86,000 worth of stores for this purpose. It was suc- 
cessfully applied. "During the fall of 1863," says General Stone 
in his report of 1863 to Governor Morton, "reports reached you of 
the utter destitution and sufTering of Indiana soldiers confined as 
prisoners of war in Richmond, A'^irginia, and on Belle l.-le, near 
Richmond. It was stated that these suflering men could be sup- 
plied with clothing, blankets and other necessaries, through a cer- 
tain channel. Accordingly, under your direction, 1 shipped on the 
24th of October, 1863, 11 boxes of clothing and one bale of blan- 
kets, marked, according to directions furnished me, "Col. A. D. 
Streigut, Richmond, Va. For prisoners of war. Care of Gen. S. 
A. Meredith, Fortress jMonroe, Va." These packages contained 
•200 caps, 200 shirts, 200 pairs of drawers, 200 pairs of socks, 200 
blouses, 700 blankets, 200 pairs of infantry trousers, 200 infantry 
great coats, and 200 pairs of shoes." Again, on Nevember 12th, 
lie sent 34 boxes of clothing and shoes to the care of our agent at 
Washington. These were not allowed to reach our prisoners, and 
were returned. 

But th© most essential service was performed in caring for the 
wants of paroled and exchanged prisoners on their arrival at the 
depots, where their diseases, feebleness and destitution, made them 
the most pitiable objects that the ravages of war produced any- 
where. The country is so well acquainted with the condition in 
which our prisoners were generally restored to tis, that nothing more 
need be said of tiie matter here than that our agents, as far as pos- 
sible, provided for them and helped them home.

The duties of agents dispatched upon special missions to our 
forces were in the main v(>ry much the same as those of our per- 
manent agents. The diiVerence lay in the additional duty on the 
part of the former of following troops wherever the necessities of 
the war had sent them. They were expected to ascertain the con- 
dition and wants of the men in the field, and of the hospitals where 
no regular agent was placed, to distribute the stores they usually

had in charge, and obtain others when needed, from the depots at 
the permanent agencies?, and, in brief, to meet special necessities 
with the same services that were applied by regular agents to 
cases of constant occurrence. The account given of the operations 
of the Military agents will cover so much of the supplemental 
labors of sj)ecial agents that this report need not be swelled by ex- 
tracts from their reports. But there were two classes of special 
agents whose services deserve as conspicuous a place in any record 
of soldiers' reli(^f as do the soldiers themselves. 

Special Surgeons. — Until 1862 there were no battles west of thr 
mountains the casualties of which required special efforts to pro- 
vide for them, though agents were constantly wilh the men in 
Western Virginia, to look after GJovernment and State supplies, 
whicli were constantly deficient. But from the battle at Mill 
Spring, January 18th, 18(32, to the time when the Government's 
provision for the soldier, in field and hospital, was sufficient for his 
needs, there was hardly a single general engagement that did not 
require the services of special surgeons, nurses and means of re- 
lief; and they were furnished by our State, often first, always 
among the first, of the many beneficent agencies thst gathered to 
these scenes of suffering. 

Additional Assistant Surgeons. — The appalling sickness which 
prevailed among the volunteers during the winter of 1861 and 
spring of 186*2 will be remembered. The men were unaccustomed 
to the hardships and privations of camp life, and but few of the 
many then in service had become seasoned, so as to enjoy perfect 
health. Thousands of enlisted men and hundreds of officers were 
discharged by reason of disability, and it seemed for a time as if 
thf! whole anny would go to pieces, not from encounters in battle 
with the enemy, but from the more sweeping destroyer — disease. 
Neither the law nor regulations provided for medical officers suili- 
cient for the wants of the troops at this period. One surgeon and 
one assistant surgeon only were allowed to each regiment, and the 
services of these were sometimes required at hospitals or on other 
detached duty; or, if they were sick, or resigned, the regiment 
might be, and frequently was, left without any medical attendance 
whatever. Especially was the medical force inadequate during, 
or immediately after, a severe battle. This was strikingly ex- 
hibited at and after the battles of Fort Donelson and Shiloh ; and 
it was only through the prompt and timely activi y of the authori- 



ADDITIONAL ASSISTANT SURGEONS, 351 

ties of the Western States that even partial rehef was afforded. So 
important did it appear to Governor Morton that this alarming 
defect should be remedied by the employment of additional medi- 
cal officers, even if only for temporary service, that he proposed on Ihe 
11th of April, 1862, just after Shiloh had been fougiit, that author- 
ity be given him by the Secretary of War to raise a corps of volun- 
teer surgeons for .field duty. Com])etent men of the medical pro- 
fession were ready to go whenever called upon, and wherever they 
could relieve the suffering of the sick, wounded and dying; but the 
Secretary of War, after tlianking the Governor for his ofler, stated 
that so large provision had already been made for medical attend- 
ance in the West, he preferred to wait for a report from General 
Halleck ; then, if more should bo needed, he would give notice 
and instructions, IIalleck was then besieging Beauregard at 
Corinth ; a terrible battle was expected, and the experience gained 
by the Governor in his efllbrts to relieve the troops on the Cumber- 
land and Tennessee rivers, only a short time before, convinced him 
that it was the duty of the Government as w'ell as of himself to 
make timely and ample j^rovision for the anticipated event. 
Without proper authority, relief parties could not pass to tlie front, 
or obtain transportation upon Government steamers, or travel 
with and secure the protection of Government troops and trains. 
The Governor, therefore, on the 21st of Ai)ril, again telegraphed 
the Secretary of War, as follows r 

" That a great battle is impending at Corintli, is evident. Before additional sur- 
gical aid can reach the field from any quarter, five or six days will elapse. Mean- 
wliile the wounded must suffer immensel3^ So it was at Donelson and Pittsburg. 
Indiana has at least twenty-four Regiments before the enemy. I propose to send at 
once to each of them two additional surgeons, and respectfully request autliorlty 
from you to do so. I regard this as an absolute necessity." 

This appeal was too strong to be resisted, and the Secretary ac- 
cordingly gave the desired authority. The Governor at once 
selected the proper number of Surgeons, of good standing, and dis- 
patched them to the field with instructions to remain as long as 
their services were required. Nor did he confine himself to sending 
medical aid to the Regiments in Teimessee alone, but, although 
the authority extended no further, he took the responsibility to send 
a number of additional surgeons to the Army of tlie Potomac and 
elsewhere. 

This action was received with great approbation by the troops, 
and the attention of Congress having been called to the matter an 



852 ADJUTAISiT general's REPORT. 

act was passed, (approved July 2, 1862,) which provided that in- 
stead of one Assistant Surgeon, as provided by a former law, each 
regiment of volunteers in the service of the United States should 
have t'wo Assistant Surgeons. The plan, however, of sending 
Special Surgeons to the field was not abandoned by the Governor. 
They were kept employed in visiting the armies, examining hos- 
})ita!s and hunting up our sick and wounded, wherever they might 
be, until all of our troops were mustered out of service. 

Steamers. — Besides expeditions dispatched after battles, when 
extra lielp and supplies were peculiarly necessary. Governor Mor- 
ton frequently sent aid, by steamers and otherwise, to our troops 
at all points where he knew of any necessity for relief. The voy- 
age down the Mississippi of the " City Belle," under charge of Dr. 
C. J. Woods, already noticed, was one of these. During the yt-ar 
1863, Dr. Hannaman, in his report of March 2nd, 1864, says seven 
such missions were peri'ornied. The first was on the steamer 
" Capitola," starting on the 19fh of February, under charge of Mr. 
Geohge Merritt, of Indianapolis, for our forces under General 
Grant, at Vicksburg. It took live hundred and forty packages of 
stores, twenty-live female nurses for the hospitals, and twenty-one 
Surgeons, under charge of Dr. Jerkmiah H. Brower, of Lawrence- 
burg. Twenty of the nurses were left at Memphis hosj}ifals. 
Twenty-five Indiana Regiments were visited and supplied. The 
second was the " Lady Franklin," under charge of Dr. C. J. Woods, 
with one thousand packages of stores, several nurses and Surgeons. 
The third was the " Courier," under charge of Dr. Talbott Bul- 
lard, and GeiK^al A. Stone, with five hundred packages of stores, 
several nurses and Surgeons. A large number of sick and wounded 
men were brought back. But the expedition is said by Dr. Hanna- 
man to have been " most untortunate to those engaged in it, for four 
Surgeons died during the trip or soon after their return, among 
them the ever to be lamented Dr. Bullard. He was a man of 
warm temperament, and when duty called him he never thought of 
self His was a most valuable life to be sacrificed to this accursed 
rebellion.". The fourtli boat was the " Atlanta," in charge of Colonel 
W. E. French, with two hundred packages of stores and several 
Surgeons and nurses. It brought back one hundred and seventy- 
five sick and wounded from Memphis. The fifth was the " City 
Belle," under charge of General Stone, with four hundred pack- 
ages of stores, and a liberal supply of surgical and nursing help.

HOSPITAL NURSES. 353 

This ocpedition reached Vicksburg on the morning of .July 4th, 
18(33, the chiy tht; rebel stronghold was surrendered. The sixth boat 
was the " Sunny yide,'" in charge of Mr. E. J. Putnam, with one 
thousand |)ackages of stores, and Dr. W. H. VVishard, as Surgeon. 
One hundred and fifty sick soldiers were brought back. The aecenth 
was the " City Belle," under charge of Dr. C. J. Woods, with one 
thousand five hundred [jackages of stores. One hundred sick re- 
turned with it. The stores distributed on this expedition are de- 
scribed in detail in a preceding part of this report. On the 21i!i of 
November, 1863, Major James H. Turxkr was sent to Chattanooga, 
and he, with the help of Mr. Gi:okge Mkriutt, Mr. Vinci;xt Car- 
TER and Mr. W. J. Wallack, kept the track of Suhrinian's army in 
the advance to Atlanta, and subsequently in the celebrated " march 
to the sea;" assiduou-ly laboring to provide for the sick and 
wounded left behind and along the route. 

In December, 1864, in anticipation of Shf.rmax's arrival at Savan- 
nah, Dr. C. J. Woods, with several assistants, was sent to New 
York, where he shipped a large amount of stores, by sea, to meet 
our men. Bat on his arrival he found that Siiek.max had moved 
north, and the supplies were distributed among the hospitals at 
Savannaii, Port Royal, Hilton Head and Charleston. The re- 
mainder were returned to New York and there distributed on the 
arrival of our troops. Eight thousand dollars worth of stores were 
sent to the Agent at Washington to be distributed there among our 
men in Sherman's army. These supplies were very opportune, as 
the presence of the combined armies of Grant and Sherman 
made the Government stores insulficient, and many men from 
other States w^ere placed on short rations in consequence. 

After the winter of 1863 and 1864, the advance of our armies, 
the improvement in Govermnent supplies, and the seasoning of the 
men to their arduous and perilous work, made the assistance of 
special agencies less necessary, and the work of the Commission 
subsequently v/as n)ainly done by the regular agencies. 

Nurses. — A most creditable exhibition of the devotion so 
generally displayed both by men and women during the war, was 
made by the ladies who volunteered as nurses. Very generally 
I hey were ladies in good circumstances, unused to the privations 
nnd labors they so readily assumed, and were prepared for 
their discharge only by tenderness, intelligence and patience with 
which Nature has so bounteously provided the sex. But they

354 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

worked with a zeal and conscientiousness that shamed all hired 
aid and brought to the sick and suffering the blessings of " minis- 
tering angels." All that a mother, or sister or wife could be at 
home, they tried to be in the hospital, and their success is attested 
in The warmest encomiums of surgeons wherever they served. 
Few of them were paid, or desired pay, and some expended tiieir 
own money liberally in procuring food, and especially for delicacies 
which could alone be relished by the sick. Dr. Jour.s, at Memphis. 
says: "As auxiliaries in the discharge of the duties of this office 
they have rendered me valuable assistance. But to the sick and 
wounded soldiers in the wards, their services have been invaluable. 
Their delicate skill in the preparation of diets, their watchful atten- 
tion to the slightest want, their words of sympathy and encourage- 
ment, have made the hospital a home, and in hundreds of instances 
have quite lured the suffererer back jrom dcatli unto life." Well 
may one of them say "England has a Florknce Nightingale of 
whom she may well be proud, but we may boast of a thousand 
Florence Nightingales." 

In January, 1865, Dr. Hanxaman reports that there were then in 
the service of the Coiumission about fifty female nurses. From 
January 6th, 1863, to March 11th, 1864, ninety-five ladies who vol- 
unteered as nurses are reported, and their names given, but the list 
does not include all, nor indeed some of these especially noticed by 
Dr, Hannaman in his report. More than one hundred of our wo- 
men became nurses in hospitals, and very many continued for 
months together. Two, Miss Hannah Powell and Miss Aslnae 
Martin, of Goshen, Elkhart county, died while employed in the 
Memphis hospitals. Dr. Hannaman says of them: " Highly val- 
ued in the family and in society, they were not less loved and ap- 
preciated in their patient and unobtrusive usefulness among the 
brave men for whose service they had sacrificed so much. Lives 
so occupied afford the highest assurance of a peaceful and happy 
death, and they die triumphing in the faith of the Redeemer, ex- 
ulting and grateful that they had devoted themselves to their suf- 
fering countrymen. Their example of self-denial and patriotic love 
will be echoed in the lives of others who will tread in the same 

path." 

SOLDIERS' FAMILIES- 

The duty of the people, through their government, or outside of 
it, to provide for the families of soldier.s, though less onerous, waB 



RELIEF OF soldiers' FAMILIES. 355 

not less than that of providing for the soldiers themselves. The 
origin of this necessity in a republican government has been set 
forth in the opening of this sketch of the etlbrts for Soldiers' Relief. 
At first the universal enthusiasm for the war, and the hope of its 
speedy termination, produced an apparent inditVerencc in this re- 
gard which was only removed when the full extent of the perils 
and consequent demands of the struggle were revealed to us. 
Families were left to the care of relatives and neighbors, who 
eagerly encouraged enlistments by promises of attention, which, 
though often illy fulfilled, were in the main sufficient to prevent 
the matter from assuming any public importance. But when the 
term of enlistment was fixed at three years, volunteers began to 
see that something more than individual promises of support were 
necessary to justify them in leaving their families. They must 
make some provision themselves, and this necessity originated the 
policy of "bounties," wdiich w^as carried to an extent in our war 
unknown in any age or country before, because never before was 
there so vast a population throw^i upon public support. And it 
was not a population of paupers accustomed to want, but of thrifty 
and prosperous lamilies, entitled at least to suffer no diminution of 
comfort from the sacrifice of their natural support which they had 
made. The volunteers, like other men, believed they could make 
better provision for their families than anybody else could, if they 
had the means, and they naturally demanded the means as a con- 
dition of enlistment. This does not iiTiply that the granting of 
bounties was yielded to a demand for them, for they w^ere offered 
before they were demanded, but it was yielded to an imperious ne- 
cessity which was prevented from becoming a demand only by be- 
ing anticipated. The General Government offered a bounty and 
advanced pay ; the States in some cases ofllered an additional 
bounty, and counties, cities and associations added to both a sum 
larger than both together, not to induce, but to enable the volunteer 
to enlist. It has been often urged as a reproach to our soldiers, 
that they exacted a bounty as large as the year's wages of a good 
mechanic before they could consent to serve at all, and then ex- 
pected treble the pay of the best paid troops in any other country. 
The reproach is the utterance of ignorance. If our soldiers wanted 
high bounties, it was because they had a need for it that other sol- 
diers do not usually have. It was in effect only putting into their 
own hands, for economical application, provision for their families 



356 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

which would otherwise Ijave had to be administered by public 
agents, wastefully sometimes, corruptly oftentimes, and expensively 
at all times. 

But bounties, as liberal as they were, could not feed and clothe 
and house a wife and children three years. Nor could liberal pay, 
in most cases, eke out the provision of the bounty. Both together 
would fall far short of the comfort to which families had always 
been accustomed. Additional provisions must be made. This, as 
earlier in the war, was often done by the care and kindness of 
neighbors, associations, churches; but even they could not cover the 
v'ast necessity that existed. Here, as in all else that alTected the 
soldiers' welfare, the watchful care of Governor Morton saw tlie 
necessity and devised the remedy, almost before it had been felt 
by those it was ajiproaching. On the 14th of November, 1862, he 
issued an "A-ppeal to the People of the S^ate of Indiana."*- In this 
address the necessities and modes of relief were so clearly stated 
that little was left to the people but to go to work. There was 
no occasion for differences of opinion about organizations, or pro- 
cesses of distribution. The experience of the Sanitary Commis- 
sion had settled all questions, and the people went to work at once. 
The clergy, so forcibly appealed to, responded with a promptitude 
that expressed how fully their Christian zeal was prepared to sec- 
ond the suggestions of thinr patriotism. Bishop Ames, oI" the 
Methodist Episcopal Church, on the 24th of November addressed 
the following circular letter to the clergy and laity of that church: 

'■'■Dear liretlircn: — In view of the recent timely and liumanc proclamation of his 
Exc-ellencj, Governor O. P. Mokton, callinji; for relief measures for the families of 
soldiers, I feel it incumbent iijion me to earnestly reconmiend to you immediate co- 
operation in this benevolent and patriotic work. The precursors of a vigorou? win- 
ter, and the rapid advance in the price of fuel, provisions, and all the necessaries 
and comforts of life, foreshadow destiluiion and suffering that only can be mitigated 
or prevented by the prompt and systematic action of all good citizens throughout 
our Commonwealth. Such action Avill not only relieve the wants of those in our 
midst who have been rendered poor by tlie ])resent struggle for our national exist- 
I'nco, but will strengthen the hands and cheer the hearts of those who have gone 
forth to fight for our Government. I do not advise that you should act denomina- 
tionally, but that you sliould cooperate in carrying out the spirit of the proclama- 
tion, both vvith the civil government and with those, by whatsoever name they may 
be called, who love Ilim who says that all kindness to the poor and suffering is kind- 
ness to Himself. To this end, I would suggest that the ministers of the Methodist 
Episcopal Church, in connection with the clergy of all other denominations, in each 
'ounty throughout the State, hold a meeting, invite the township trustees to join

them, and a:;ree upon some organized method of roliofand visitation, since the work 
to be done is a great one, and nothing but organized, intelligent and persistent effort 
can aecomplisli it. In the name of Him who eschews all promises unattended bv 
action — who will judge men, not by what they say, but by what they do, I call your 
attention to these tilings. Yours fraternally, E. R. A:mi:.s. 

Olhrr churches were in no degree behind in this effovf. On the 
jsr of Djceiiib(!r, a letter, signed by all the ministers of the G(5spel 
in litdiaiiapolis, was sent "lo the clergy, county commissioners, 
township trustees, and all who were willing to engage in aiding the 
famiiies of soldiers," throughout tlie State, enforcing the exhorta- 
tions and suggestions of the Governor. The feeling diffused 
through the people was raj^idiy crystalized into action whenever it 
found sotncthiiig to gather about. "Soldiers' Aid Societies" were 
formed in every neighborhood, or their duties tidded to those of the 
auxiliary sanitary associations. Their agents received and filled 
applications, visited the needy, and sought out those whose dislike to 
seem to be recipients of charity, impelled them either to conceal 
or dissimulate their wants. Their exertions soon dispelled this il- 
lusion, and made the objects of their care feel that the relief given 
them was not a benefaction, but a payment, a debt far more oblig- 
atory and sacred than any resting upon legal forms and proofs. 
Families were taught, where the sharper instruction of want h;id 
not suggested the lesson first, that the community had assumed ihe 
duty delegated by the parent, and their claims were as inviolable 
upon one as the other. County Commissioners made liberal ap- 
propriations, and many ti project of improvement, of new court 
houses, new bridges, better roads, was deferred to the higher neces- 
sity of supporting the dependants of volunteers. Fairs were held, 
and the proceeds distributed, either by township trustees or 
agents of local aid societies. The efiorts for the Sanitary Com- 
mission were rivalled and even surpassed by these. No inconsid- 
erable part of the time and labor of a large portion of our people, 
especially of the women, were given to these objects. The imm- 
ber of them who made duty almost an occupation, and certainly 
divided with it their household cares, would be eJinost incredible, 
if it, could be ascertained. 

The most striking feature of this outpouring of popular duty to 
soldiers' families, were those occasions when, by general concur- 
rence in the suggestion of some newspaper or ])rominent citizen, a 
day was fixed for contributions to be brought to some central depot 



358 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

for distribution. It was made a n(Mghborhood holiday. Towns- 
people carried their money, flour, meat, groceries, wood or clothing 
to the appointed place, and all bnt those who wanted the war 
to fail, seemed filled with an cinnlation to give as much as they 
conld. Farmers, however, bore otTthe prize for the most conspicu- 
ous, if not liberal, displays of contributions. Those of diflerent 
neighborhoods would collect together early in the morning, and at ' 
the appointed time drive into the country town with wagons loaded 
with wood, and with barrels of flour, or apples, or notatoes, heaped 
high on the wood, with thcMr horses decorated with flags, sometimes 
carrying banners, and as the long procession of gratitude and liber- 
ality marched along the streets, the crowded pavements welcomed 
it with cheers as for the return of a victorious army. Emulation 
ran wild in eflbrts to show the biggest loads and make the most 
striking display. Some w^agons were bnilt on purpose to carry the 
loads of a half dozen of ordinary size, and four or five cords of 
wood were not unfrequently piled on by some generous and emu- 
lous farmers. It is very questionable if any nation can exhibit a 
more creditable proof of the remedies as well as the power, the 
will as well as the w^ealth of a people, to take from their govern- 
ment a burthen that it could not bear, but which rested, if not 
lightly, at least not painfully, upon their own willing shoulders. 
Of the amount thus contributed it is impossible to form a conject- 
ure, but it must have been well along in millions of dollars. 

While the provision made from "bounties" was still unex- 
hausted, the relief aflbrded by aid societies, counties and popular 
contributions was suflicient. But a bounty barely sufficient for a 
year, if so much could, with no sort of frugality, be made to 
meet the wants of two years, and popular liberality was in- 
voked to increased eflbrt by Governor Morton, in an address of 
October 27th, 1863. in which, after repeating the arguments for 
it, in the increasing necessities of soldiers' families, he proceeded 
to point out more minutely the modes of operation, as follows: 
" An efficient working committee in each ward and townshij) 
should be at once selected, with such assistants and sub-com- 
mittees as may be necessary, who can easily ascertain the number 
of families within their limits requiring aid, and estimate the quan- 
tity, kind and cost of all supplies needed during the winter. Con- 
tributions can be taken up accordingly. In this work the town- 
ship trustees, and the oflicers of the various churches, will doubtless

lend a willing hand. Especially do I desire that ministers of the 
gospel should present this subject to their respective congregations, 
and co-operate, as far as possible, in carrying out the general plan 
of relief." The response to this was a continuation and increase of 
past efforts. 

k^tate Bakery. — A very considerable, as well as timely, contribution 
was made from the 251 h of June, 1864, to the 1st of August, 18G5 
— a period of es[)ecial urgency for relief — the judicious management 
of the State Bakery by Quartertriaster General Stone. The 
Bak(Ty was established solely to supply the camps at Indianapolis, 
both of recruits and prisoners, with good fresh bread at as little 
expense as possible, but it proved so economical that General 
Stone was able to give the soldiers, in bread, the full weight of the 
flour furnished on their rations, and have one-third of it left. This 
surplus was sold for cash, which paid many expenses outside of the 
bakery. But far more important than any other result was its 
contribution to soldiers' families. Daring the period stated it fur- 
nished sixty-three thousand five hundred and forty loaves of bread 
gratuitously, which, at the ordinary price, ten cents per loaf, would 
have cost the beneficiaries six thousand three huntlied and fifty- 
four dollars. An account was kept of the names, residence, regi- 
ment and company of the soldiers whose families were thus as- 
sisted, and of the names of their wives and children of the daily 
allowance given to each family. The value of such ontributions 
can hardly be estimated by the money it saved or cost. Further 
remarks concerning the State Bakery will be found imder the 
head of "Quartermaster General's OlHce," in this volume. 

Legislative Relief. — But in sj)ite of all efforts the necessity still 
increased. In the fall of 1864, the Governor again set popular 
feeling at work, but it was evident that the feeling was not equal 
to the need. He brought the matter before the Legislature which 
met in January, 1865. That body passed a bill, approved INIarch 
4th, 1865, but a month before the clothe of the war, assessing a tax 
of thirty cents on each hundred dollars of property in the State, 
the proceeds of which should be applied to soldiers' families, in 
the modes and proportions set forth in the following circular from 
the State Auditor to the County Auditors, August 4th, 1865:

862 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

The above apportionment is made upon the following basis: 
Tile to'al valualion of the real and personal property in the State, 

as returned iu 1SG4, was S;51G,S05,S99.00 

Whieh, at 30 cents on each $100 of valuation, will yield 1,550,417.99 

Polls, at $1.00 eaeh 197,600.00 

Total receipts, should the tax all be collected $1,748,01 7.99 

Deduct Governors Military Contingent Fund 100,000.00 

Net amount to be appoi'tioni'd $1,648,017.99 

Actual amount apportioned to -203,724 beneficiaries, at $8.08 each 1,646,089.92 

Remainder $1,928.07 

In making the apportionment each mother, wife, or widow, is counted as four ; 
each motlierless child as two, and all other children as one, and the number in each 
countv is the a<Tgregatc of those thus estimated. Each child, therefore, if none of 
the enumerated had "otherwise sufficient means for their comfortable support,'' 
would be entitled to receive 6 7 cents per month; each motherless child, $1 34 per 
month; and each mother, wife, or widow, $2 70 per month. But owing to the fact 
that a large number of the enumerated are not entitled to the benefit of the act 
under i(s terms, on account of having other means for their support, which, the 
Township Trustee, being the disbursing officer, is to determine ; and the further 
tact, that a majority of our soldiers have themselves returned to take care of their 
families, there can be no doubt but that the fund will be ample to allow each actual 
beneficiary the full amount contemplated by law, from the time of its passage, 
March 4, 1S65. 

Un<ler the law, the County Commissioners are authorized and required to borrow, 
tVoui time to time, as may be deemed necessary-, four-fifths of the amount set apart 
to their respective counties in the foregoing scnedule. 

T. B. McCarty, Auditor of State. 
This legislative provision, aided by the societies and popular 
contributions, would have been sufficient to avert any serious dis- 
tress, but before any considerable portion of the tax was collected 
the end of the war restored the surviving soldiers to their homes, 
with pay, iu many cases, and in all cases the opportunities and re- 
wards of customary labor to replace the support so long afforded as 
the payment of a national debt. 



SOLDIERS' HOME AND REST. 

T E M P PwV R I PROVISION. 
The efforts of the Slate and the people for the relief of soldiers 
and their families were not entirely, though mainly, confined to the 
channels hereinbefore set forth. Indianapolis, from its central po- 
sition, and character as the capital of the State, was the point of 



soldiers' nOME AN© REST- 363 

rendezvous for the gr(^ater pdrtioii of our sohtiers in rcliirniiig home 
from the field, or returning from h.ome to the "front," and its nu- 
merous railroad comiections made it; a centre of transportation for 
troops from every State in their movements from one portion of 
rhe country to another. In consequence, large numbers were fre- 
(juently accumulated here temporarily, either awaiting orders, or 
delayed by deficient transportation. They needed some place to 
rest and refresh themselves. But still more imperious was the ne- 
cessity of providing for the sick, who, in the earlier part of tlie war, 
constituted no ineonsiderabk^ portion of ail arrivals. The camps of 
rendezvous were not immediately on the lines of travel and were 
generally full. The Sanitary Commission, as early as January, 
1862, saw the necessity of some provision for this iitate of things, 
and, naturally, at first attempted to meet it by obtaining quariers 
at convenient hotels. "An agent," says Dr. Hannaman, "was 
placed at the depot by direction of the Commission to attend the 
arrival and departure of trains, and to furnish meals and lodging to 
all who required them." This was found sufficient for a time, but 
the progress of the war developed necessities so rapidly, a tem- 
})orary "camp" was established in the vacant ground south of the 
depot, where hospital tents were erected and bedding and rations 
furnished. This provision was again outgrown by the demands of 
the war and it was from the first insuffici(Mit for the sick and 
wounded, who constituted the most necessitous objects of the care 
which created it. Something more and of a more permanent char- 
acter, must be done. Here originated, and v\diat, till the close of 
the war, was widely known as the " Soldiers' Home."^ 

PERMANENT PROVISION. 

In the latter part of June, 1S62, Governor Morton, in whose 
interest in our soldiers every conspicuous measure of relief took its 
rise, resolved to establish a permanent place of rest and refreshment 
for soldiers |)assing through tlie city, irrespective of the States to 
which ihey belonged, and to add to it, as soon as practicable, a 
hospital department for the care of the sick or disabled who might wot 
require or could not, in their IVequently crowded state, obtain ad mis- 
sion to the regular hospitals. "Accordingly," says Quartermaster Gen- 
eral Sto.ne, "in June and July, 1862, at your (the Governor's) in- 
stance, the General Government paid for the erection of a building in 
a grove near White River, north of the railroads. It was loO leet

long and 24 feet wide. The State govrrnment and Sanitary Cotti- 
mission completed the work of the General Government by litting 
up 100 feet of the building as a sleeping apartment and providing 
it with bunks, the bedding being fnriiished by the Commission. The 
remaining 50 feet was used as a dining hall. A Icitchen, 24 feet 
square, was added to the main building, and all its furniture, as 
well as that of the dining hall, was supplied by the State. 

The establishment was opened about the 1st of August, 1862. 
On the 8th, General Stonk jinblished a notice of the fact and so- 
licited contributions. Thus provision was made for the accommo- 
dation of about 100 men. The management was entrusted to Mr. 
Georgk Merritt, assisted by Messrs. Bacon and Hunt. The 
whole expense of it was borne by the Sanitary Comnlis^ion, 
except the subsistence, which was, of course, supplied in tluM-ations 
to which the inen were entitled. Contributions were n)ade by cit- 
izens of vegetables, butter, eggs, fruit, books, paper and envdopes, 
chairs and the like, and the Postmaster at Indianapolis, Hon. A. H. 
Conner, donated a quantity of postage stamps, not the least im- 
portant contribution to men far away from home and friends. 

The accommodations soon [troved too small for tlie demandB 
upon them, and in the latter part of 18G2 the General Government, 
through the influence of Captain James A. Ekin, erected another 
building, 250 long by 24 feet wide, for a diniiig hall, allowing the 
former h dl to be added to the dormitory. 

The larger provision for dining than sleeping was ov/ing to the 
fact that, large num.bers of men were detained but a few hours, 
waiting I'or trains, and they needed to eat but not to sleep in the 
" Home." The furniture and fixtures of this, like those of tlie other 
building, were supplied by the State. Three tables, extending 
nearly the whole length, would seat comfortably from 900 to 1,000 
men. But still more accommodations were needed, es|}eoially ior 
the sick. In 1863 the General Government added a third building, 
150 feet loi'g by 24 feet wide, which was, in a short time, eon- 
verted into a hospital. These provisions, though far exceeding any 
anticipation when the "Home" was first projected, soon proved 
equally inadequate to the growing needs of the service with the 
less ample one at the beginning. In April and May, 1864, General 
Stone, by direction of the Governor, erected two buildings adjacent 
to the old ones, each 175 feet long by 28 feet W'ide, in which were 
Uvo rows of bunks, with, as in the first, building, three tiers in each- 



MANAGEMENT OF THE HOME. 365 

The Iwo would aceomrnodate about 1,000 m(>n. The {ost of th(>ir 
erection and furniture was about JB4,000, which w^as paid by ihe 
State. In this its full developemcnt of usefulness, the "Home" 
could loilge about 1,800 men, and feed 8,000 every day. But even 
yet, General Stone says, there were occasions when one-half the 
men r(>quiring accommodations could not have them. 

Of its benefits General Stonk's report furnishes so complete a 
summary that it is incorporated here: "The St)Idiers' Home and 
Rest has been of inestimable importance to the wearied and care- 
worn as well as to the sick and wounded soldier. Nor has it been 
of slight benefit to the numerous detachnients of Governuient 
em()loye.-, detained here while in transit to various destinations in 
ihe South, sometimes over night, and sometimes fordays. So also 
have its benefits been freely bestowed upon companies, regiments, 
;uid indeed whole army corps, whether going to the front or return- 
ing. These men have been comfortably lodged during their sojourn 
here as far as the capacity of the " Home " allowed ; and ail, with- 
out exception, have been furnished with a |)lentiful supply of well- 
cook(Hl and wholesome food. And not only does the"II;)me" 
furnish the soldiers warm and palatable meals, but whenever nec- 
essary, we furnish those in transit with 'dry, or lunch rations,' con- 
sisting of army bread, dried beef and cheese in sufficient (quantity 
to last them to the next depot of supplies. The " Home" has also 
been of especial importance to the State authorities, as affording a 
suitable place for bestowing the hospitality of reception dinners on 
our returned veteran regiments and artillery companies. 

Under the auspices of the jiatriotic ladies of this city (Indian- 
apolis), and by their efficient personal aid in the kitchen and 
(lining-hall of the ' Home,' we have thus bestowed acknowledge- 
ments and welcome on behalf of the Slate, on about fifty regi- 
nreuts and artillery companies." Of the economy of thus provid- 
ing for men in transit, the Gener.nl says: "The monthly state- 
ments on file in this d(;parfment show that we have not, in any 
case, drawn the full amount of subsistence that the men were en- 
titled to as rations, excei)t in the article of flour. The value at 
Government contract prices, of the subsistence stores thus left in 
the Commissary Department undrawn, from ^Vugust 1st, 1^62, to 
•January 1st, 1865, amounts to 871,ol0 24.* This vast saving, 
efTected simply by care in using the rations of the men, \\ould have 
made some valuable additions to the ' Home,' in both houses and

a supply of pure water, and rearranging the accommodations, if it 
could have been made available ; but, though the men or their 
regiments or companies could have obtained the benefit of the 
savings, in the 'Home' they could noi, as then no orga,nization ex- 
isted by which application could be made. The incidental expenses, 
such as payment of help, making repairs, rejilacing furniture and i he 
like, amounting to $19,642.19, were met by a sutlers' tax, the sale 
of kitchen ofl'al and the savings on flour. The State w'as never 
burthened with a cent of the cost of maintaing the * Home' after 
the buildings were erected and furnished. 

The following summary of the o])erafions of the "Home"' is 
compiled from General Stonh's ollicial reports:

Tliis shows an average per day of meals, in 18G5, 2,842 

This shows an average per day of meals, in 186G, 4G3 

The amount realized in cash from various sources for the benefit 
of the "Home" was $19,642.19, all of which was duly expended 
as above stated. Besides, the sum of S^38,687.S0 was ex- 
pended by the U. S. Commissary out of the savings on flour for 
fresh vegetables, kraut, pickles, chet^se, butter, fruits, and other ex- 
tras not included in government rations. 

For some time before the close of the war, the 'Home' was pro- 
vided with help by details from the Ninety-Fourth Company of 
the Veteran Reserve Corps, second battalion, "who," says General 
Stone, "at all hours, night and day, have willingly and energeti- 
cally prepared and cooked meals for soldiers in transit coming 
in unexpectedly, weary and needing refreshments, who would 
otheiwise have been compelled to go on their way with their hun- 
ger unsatisfied." LADIKS' HO HE. 

Though in no way connected with the " Soldiers' Iloiue," the 
"Ladies' Home" was an off-shoot of the same watchful care to which 
that institution owed its existence, and should be noticed here to 
complete the sketch of the provision made for soldiers and their 



ladies' home. 867 

families in temporary need of aid. During the winter of 18(53 and 
18^4, a great many women visited Indianapolis to see their rela- 
tions in the army, v-ho, they had learned or supposed were de- 
taiiied there, and allowing their aflection to conquer their pru- 
dence, they very often arrived with no money, or very little, with 
no acquaintances in the city, and no means of providing for them- 
selves while there or retnrning home. They were also subjected, 
where thc^y had money, to the perils of robbery or extortion from 
the villains who infested the Capital to prey upon the army or fat- 
ten on its garbage. They needed help constantly, and frequently 
apjilied for it to the State officers, or the Sanitary Commission, 
who gave it sometimes in money, or passes, and sometimes in pay- 
ment of hotel bills and other necessary expenses. But this irregu- 
lar and unsytematic aid, being very inadequate to the emergency. 
Governor Morton resolved to establish a "Home" on the same 
plan as that for soldiers, where soldiers' wives could be sheltered, 
lodged and subsisted comfortably, and saved from the rapacity of 
the harpies that threatened them at every turn. To this end 
Quartermaster General Stome and Dr. Hannaman were directed to 
obtain some suitable building convenient to the Union Depot, and 
furnish it. This they did, and in December, 1S63, the " Ladies' 
Home" was opened in a large brick building convenient to the 
Union Depot, under charge of Lieutenant J. G. Greenwalt and 
wife, whose care and energy are justly commended by Greneral 
Stone in his report of January, 1865. The following statement 
of the number of women and children accommodated by it will 
best exhibit its value : 

18ii3 — Decombar 51 -women, 28 cliililrcn. 

18G4 — January 55 women, 45 cliildten 

1864 — February 93 women, 67 cliiKlron. 

1864 — March 69 women, 47 chiKlren. 

1864 — April 64 women, 58 children. 

1864 — May 76 women, 51 cliildren. 

1864 — Jmic 55 Avomen, 31 eliililren.

1864 — August 69 women, 56 children. 

18(54 — September 64 women, 38 children. 

1864— October 54 women, 26 children. 

1864 — November 71 women, 45 children- 

1864— December 64 women, 33 children. 

Subsistence for the " Ladies' Home " was furnished through the 
" Soldiers' Home."

Another object of loyal care was the refugees from the rebel 
Slates, who, either expelled by the violence of their neighbors, or 
reduced to want by the ravages of hostile armies, fled to the North 
for safety and subsistence. They arrived in a state of deplorable 
destitution, not only of means of maintaining themselves, but of 
information as to country and the people. They did not know- 
where to go or what to do. They were generally left in tlie depot 
ut Indianapolis without direction or assistance, and left to shelter 
themselves as best they could in out-houses, or any accessible place 
lill the charity of the neighbors provided them with something 
better. The State officers, as far as they had information, supplied 
the necessitous. lii January, 1805, about one thousand rations and 
fifty blankets had been issued for this purpose through the " Soldiers' 
Home." An organization of ciiizt ns for their relief was formed, 
and a large building procured for an asylum and comfortably fur- 
nished. The Charitable Association took charge of it, and gave 
good accomodations to about fifty refugees. 

I'KRMANENT HOME FOR DISABLED SOLDIERS. 
The close of the war brought with it tlie duty of making i)ro- 
vision for the permanent care of disabled soldiers, not only as an 
act of humanity, but as a debt due to long and faith liil ^ervicc. 
There were thousands of these in the State, but many were not so 
entirely disabled that they might not to some extent provide for 
themselves, and many more could depend upon the care of rela- 
tives. But after all allowances fur these, there remained many who 
(^ould have no hope of the comft)rtable ending of an arduous life 
except in some permanent asylum which v/ould be to them a home. 
On the loth day of May, 186-3, Governor Morton published an 
address* to the people of the St at<> suggesting the outline of an 
organization, and plan of action, for this [)urpose. It was proposed 
that a Board of Directors, composed of one from each Congressional 
District, should be appointed and be incorporated. It was to select 
an eligible place for an asylum, and rely for its means of operation 
upon popular contributions. On the 25th. he addressed a circularf 
letter to the clergy of the State, urging them to move their congre- 
"•ations to cooperate in the work. On the same day a meeting was 
held at Indianapolis to carry out the Governor's suggestion. It 
selected Governor Morton as President of the Board of Directors.

The announceuient of the formation of a society to establish an 
asylum was followed innncdiatcly by applications for admission, 
or provision of some kind, from a number of d sabled soldiers. The 
City Council of Indianapolis gave the association the use of the 
City riosj:)ital buildings. There the Home was opened on the 10th 
of August, 1865, under the superintendence of Dr. M. M. Wishard. 
"^[Mie necessity for it, say^^ Governor Morton, in his message to the 
Legislature at the extra session of November, 1865, " is demon- 
strated by the fact thut already iorty-six disabled soldiers have been 
admitted, tv/enty-one of whom, after remaining some time, and re- 
ceiving the best care and medical treatment, have been discharged 
with the jM'ospect of being sufficiently restored to enable them to 
care for themselves, and one has died, leaving twenty-four to bi^ 
cared for. Of these, sevtMileen are totally disabled by old age, 
wounds or disease." Although the Directors appealed to the 
peoide, setting forth their plan, and the probable sum necessary to 
carry it out, and made strenuous efforts to obtain the means, they 
met v»dth less success than they deserved. The people had btu-n 
heavily burthenful by the demands of the war, which the excite- 
ment of the times, and the unusual emulation, prevented them 
from feeling seriously, till the collapse following the excitement 
brought an intensified sense of the drain that had been made uiK>n 
them. The Governor in his message expresses doubt whether it 
^'i!l be possible to establish an asylum by voluntary contribution. 
The amount received at that time Avas only 84,994 55, v^ith 
'§20,000 00 subscriptions outstanding, and so inadequate a fund as 
Vol. 1.— 25.

t!ie whole would be if paid up, fully justified tlie Governoi's ap- 
preliensions. He recommended "tlie Legislature to take prompt 
measures to secure the object iti view," He also stated that he 
had made application to the Cieneral Government to turn over to 
the State the military hospital at .Teflersonville for an asylum. The 
consent was given, but the sitnation of this hospital and other 
objections being in the way, it was never used. 

A memorial was presented to the Legislature, at the same 
session, by the Board of Directors, aslving an appropriation, and, as 
arguments, setting lorth their inability lo meet the many demands 
upon them, the necessity of a support to the families of disabled 
soldiers, suggesting the plan they thought best adapted to the 
emergency, and stating the prob;djle numlier of persons who would 
need the aid of the asylum. They estimate from reports from one- 
fitth of the State that the totally disabled would amount to about 
828; partially disabled to 2,7(30, and the orphans of soldiers to 
9,036. The plan of an asylum is staled thus : " We would procure 
a tract of good land sufficient to yield all necessary .vegetables for 
the ' Home.' Upon the ground we v>'ouhl provide suitable habita- 
tions, for single men, families and orph'uis. Having convened 
these all in one comnumity, we would all'ord them all possible 
facilities for contributing to their own support. This would be 
done chiefly by erecting work shops, where such trades could be 
carried on as disabled men could work at — such as making brooms, 
baskets, brushes, shoes &c. Here the remaining faculties of par- 
tially disabled men could be educated to good trades, whereby they 
might support themselves independently outside of the ' Home' in 
a few years, if they should desire it." By bringing families into 
the community, the Directors could educate the children, orphans 
or otherwise, and teach them trades. They also proposed to estab- 
lish a school for young men who were disabled, where they could 
learn book-keeping, telegraphing and other branches which would 
enable them to obtain their own support. 

On the 0th of January, 1866, an earnest appeal was made to the 
people for help, which was so far successful that the Board was ena- 
bled to purchase for -f 8,500, early in the ensuing spring, the pioperty 
known as the " Knightstown Springs," a healthy and beautiful site, 
possessing the advantage, whatever it may be, of a medicinal 
spring of some celebrity, and containing fifty-four acres of vc ry 
good ground. There was one large building, formerly a hotel, and 
several small cottages, erected for the use of invalids, resorting to 



soldiers' orphans' home. 371 

the spring?, upon tlie promises, which " iiftordcd ample room," says 
Itie Superintciulent, Dr. Wishaijd, "for one liundred paliciits," but 
in need of repairs. The asylum was established in the new 
location on the 26th of April following, and it will doubtless remain 
there as long as the necessity for it exists. 

In his message of January 11th, 1867, Governor Morton says 
the expense of maintaining the ' Home ' until the 30th of November, 
1866, exclusive of the cost of the new site, was $17,060 84. Adding 
the cost of the site, the whole exi:)enditure made in behalf of dis- 
abled soldiers, from August 1865, to the last of November 1866, 
was $,25,560 84. During that time there had been admitted 224 
disabled soldiers, of whom 134 had been discharged and 14 had died. 
The Governor again urged the Legislature to equalize the burthen 
of maintaining the asylum by making it dependent upon taxation, 
the only mode c^f making all pay alike for what all are equally 
bound to contribute. The Legislature adopted the Governor's sug- 
gestion, and on the 1st of March, 1867, made the Home for Disa- 
bled Soldiers one of the benevolent institutions of the State, with 
a jMovision for soldiers' orphans.* A Board of Trustees was ap- 
pointed, and an appropriation of $50,000 made to erect suitable 
buildings and provide the necessary means to maintain the inmates 
properly. The Trustees, Captain H. B. Hii.l of Carthage, Cmas. S. 
HuBnARD ot" Knightstown and William Hannaman of Indianapolis, 
organized on tlie 27th of March, 1867, by electing William 
Hanxamax President, Charles S. Hubbard Secretary, M. M. 
WisiiARD, M. D., Superintendent, and Hbnry W. McCune Steward. 
A fine, substantial brick building, 153 feet long by 63 feet vride, 
and three stories and an attic high, has been erected at a cost of 
about §55,000. The corner stone was laid with impressive cere- 
monies one the 4th of July, 1867, by the Society of the Grand 
Army of the Republic. The old buildings have been repaired 
and converted into the "Orphans' Home" contemplated by the 
Legislature. The Superintendent states, in his report for 1868, 
that since the opening of the " Home" 400 disabled soldiers had 
been admitted, of whom 31 had died, 221 been discharged in an 
improved condition, leaving 148 still in its care. 

Orphans' Home. The provisions of the Legislature for the Or- 
phans of Soldiers have been carried out as far as practicable, as 
already stated, by the conversion of the old building into an asy- 
lum for them, and providing them with adequate care and tuition

It was full to its utmost capacity on Tliai^^sgiving day, November 
'2Gth, 1868, and iinmerous applications were daily made for admis- 
sion, but refused for want of room. 'J'here were Ihen 83 
orphans in the "Home," and the number could easily have been 
increased with adequate acconjmodalions to three hundred. 

CONCLUSION. 

This attempt, necessarily imperfect from the want of s]>ace 
to enable a full account to be given of many operations con- 
nected with the efforts for the relief of our soldiers and their 
families, will yet afford some idea of the munificence Vv'itii which 
the people provided, and the zeal and success with which the Slate 
authorities applied, the means to fill out the defective provisions of 
the government and to supply the vast and immense demands of 
a soldiery to whom war and want were unlike unknown, and upon 
whom privations fell with double severity. It is at once an exhibi- 
tion of benevolence and organizing intelligence, of a sense of pa- 
triotic duty and a perception of the maiuii-r in which thai 
duty can be best discharged. The people supplied the deficiencies 
of their government, and showed their al)ility to make it strong, 
prompt and enduring enough for any exigency in which a nation 
(;an be placed. Probably even more than the prosecution of t!ie 
war itself, the elforts to sustain it, which made no appearance in 
the reports of generals, or the histories of battles, will justify to 
ihe world the pride of Americans in themselves and their Govern- 
ment. 



ALLOTMENT COMMISSIONER— PAY AGENCY. 

The sudden organization of vast armies in a country, whose peo- 
ple had hitherto been mainly engaged in the peaceful pursuits of 
agriculture and the mechanic arts, created emergencies and revealed 
wants unfelt in our previous limited military experience, and which 
were unprovided for by congressional or legislative enactments. 

The soldiers of the Union armies were, as a general rule, repre- 
sentatives of the industrial classes, who had laid aside their usual 
avocations in obedience to the dictates of |nitriotism, leaving fami- 
lies, or other relatives, win lly or partially dependent upon their 
pay for support. Under these circumstances the safe and speedy 
transmission of money from tiie soldiers in the field to the depend-

cnls at home, was a rnaitcr of gn^at importance, and attended with 
many didiculties. 

Array mail^ were tai\Iy, irreguhir and unreliable, often being 
placed in charge of irresponsible parties temporarily detailed for 
that purj50se; express eomj)anieji \\ ere seldom desirous of extending 
their operations beyond the lines of well-guarded raih'oads, and the 
exigencies of the service tVequently excluded them from all roads 
in the vicinity of active military t)perations. Detailing responsibh^ 
officers from tlie dilVerent commands to convey remittances, was 
impracticable, for tiie class of oliii-ers enjoying ihe confidence of 
ihc men to such an extent as to quafify them for >o responsible a 
mission, were the ones most needed in the field, and had not this 
been the case, they frequently could not be spared at times when 
payments were made, or dt>tails could not be obtained. In some 
of the States, bankers and brokers engaged in the business, but 
their charges consumed a considerable proportion of the funds 
transmitted, and this plan soon fell into disrepute. 

Ar,LOTMl':NT SYSTKM. 

The necessity of having some convenient and safe means for the 
traiismission of soldiers' funds, was observed by Governor Mortox 
soon after our first three-year regiujents went to the field. He ac- 
cordingly devised a system which is fully set forth in the following 

circular: 

ExixuTivK Dkpautmext, 

7nm)IAnai'olis, Indiana, November 20, 18G1. 

With a view to fiicilitatc iho transmission of funds by our troops in the field 
to their families, and m addilion to facilities afforded by the Ciovernment by allot. 
nient rolls, the undersigned has eflected an arrangement with the Braneh Bank in 
this city, by which funds may be conveyed from Indianapolis to any part of the State 
through a certain, safe and responsible channel, and without cost to the soldier. A 
responsible agent will bclppomted by the State, whose duty it will be to visit each 
regiment, in advance of payment, and to receive from each volunteer such funds 
as he desires to transmit. A book of blank drafts will be fui-nished to th(> com- 
manding officer of each regiment. Any volunteer desiring to send money to his 
family at home, will draw a draft iir favor of the party to whom he desires to send 
the amount. At the same time he will deposit with the agent of this State, the 
amount he desires to send. 

The agent will prepare triplicate schedules of the amount received, from wliom 

received, and to vvliom to be paid. One copy to be retained by the agent, one 

copy to be left with the Colonel of the regiment, and the third copy for the use of 

the bank. The money being deposited at the baidi by the agent, the cashier wil 

ndorse each draft drawn by the volunteer. The draft will be sent by the agent to 



374 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

wliomsoever It may be payable, and on indorsement by that person will be paid st 
any of the branches in the State. 

Commanding ofTicers of regiments are requested to have this read to their regi- 
ments, and all officers are requested to cooperate with the undersigned, in aflbrding 
facilities so much needed by our troops in the field. 

Oliver P Mokton, 

Governor of Indiana. 

In December, 1861, Congress passed an act requiring the Presi- 
dent to appoint Commissioners for each State having volunteers in 
The service of the United States, whose duty it should be to visit 
the several Departments of the army in which vokmteers from their 
respective States were serving, and procure from them certitied al- 
lotments of their pay to their families or friends. On these allot- 
ments the several paymasters, at each regular payment of troops^ 
were required to give drafts payable in New York to the order of 
the persons designated in the allotments. 

This law, from which much was expected, accomplished but 
little towards the desired end. Its provisions, though apparently 
simple and easy of execution, were attended with so many embar- 
rassments as to be almost impracticable. In some instances where 
allotments had been nnade in due form they were entirely disre- 
garded by the paymasters, who asserted, in explanation of their 
conduct, that the law required the performance of impossibilities. 
They soon ceased to pay any attention to the law which became, 
practically, a dead letter. 

Throughout the war every measure designed to induce the 
soldiers to send their money home, or to facilitate its transmission, 
met with strenuous and persistent opposition on the part of Sutlers. 
Their gains were promoted by the expenditure of the soldiers' 
money in the field, and they could not be expected to feel a very 
lively interest for the needy families at home. After the passage of 
the act abolishing the Sutler's lien, they became particularly fertile 
in expedients for diverting the largest possible amount of money 
from the home channel. Many of the officers were men of limited 
means. Receiving their pay irregularly, some times at intervals of 
many months, and being obliged to furnish their own subsistence, 
they not unfrequently found it necessary to resort to the Sutlers of 
their respective regiments for pecuniary accommodations. Through 
officers, thus unavoidably placed under obligations for money 
loaned them in extreme necessity, Sutlers were able to embarrass 



FIELD PAY AGENTS. 375 

the enforcement of the allotment act, and in varous ways to increase 
their trade with the enlisted men. 

Realizing the imi)erative neciessity of providing some means of 
remitting money from the field that would commend itself to the 
confidence of the soldiers, Governor Mortox, early in 1862, de- 
cided to appoint a number of Agents, of well-known probity and 
correct business habits, to visit the different departments of tin- 
army, where Indiana soldiers were serving, to receive such aiuonnts 
as they desired to send to their families or friends and return with 
the funds thus gathered to convenient localities in the State to be 
forwarded by express or the best available conveyance, to the per- 
sons for whom the same was intended. The principal Agents en- 
trusted with these res|ionsible duties were Thomas A. Goodwin, 
Esq., Hon. David C. Bsjanham, Rev. E. B. Kilroy, General Asahei. 
Stonk, (Commissary General,) B. F. Tuttle, Esq., Colonel Jon is 
McCrea, Lawrence M. Vance, Esq., and Mr. James Hook, Agent 
of the Vigo County Soldiers' Aid Society. Messrs. Branham and 
Goodwin held commissions from the President, under the Allot- 
ment act of Congress, but as said act made no provision for trans- 
j)ortation or necessary expenses incurred, and as the system had 
never been employed -among the Indiana troops, their commissions 
were of no practical value, except as an indorsement from the high- 
est authority of the Government. 

In addition to the onerous and responsible duties connected wit h the 
collection and remission of money, the Agents were entrusted by 
the Governor to look after the welfare and relieve tlie necessities of 
sick and disabled soldiers of Indiana Regiments; to assist in pro- 
curing furloughs and transportation in all proper cases ; to co- 
operate with the State Sanitary Commission and its branches, and 
with the various Soldiers' Aid Societies in procuring and forward- 
ing hospital supplies and sanitary stores; and, in all cases, so far as 
jjossible, without undue interference with the military authorities, 
and paying proper regard to the interests of the service, to extend 
the parental care of the State over all her sons in field or hospital. 
The Commissioners entered upon the discharge of their varied 
duties with zeal and fidelity, e\t(;nding their labors to every depart- 
ment in which commands from this State were serving. Through 
their exertions furloughs were obtained for many who were lan- 
guishing in hospitals ; through their advisory suggestions and active 
co-operation the Sanitary Commission and auxiliary Societies were 



376 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

enabled to extend tlie sphere of iheir operation:^. Abuses and 
wrongs whieh tliey could not correet were reported to the Execu- 
tive, and measures inafituted by him, through the projier channels, 
for their iniuiediate correction. Between the date of their appoinl- 
nient arid the close of the year — from Ai)ril 1o December, lbC)2 — 
they collected, brought home, and distributed eight hundred and 
ten thousand four hundred and fifty dollars. These moneys were 
distributed in accordance witli the directions of the soldiers send- 
ing them, in more than fifteen thousand packages, without charge, 
save express charges from the Agents' residences to points ot des- 
tination, and without the occurrence of a single case of loss or de- 
falcation. Four hundred and fdty-two thousand de/ilars. or mure 
than half of the entire amount coliecied, passed through the hands 
of TiioMAS A. GooDwiy, who devoted his time exclusively to the 
duties of the Agency. The system adopted s;ived many thousands 
of dollars, which would otherwise have gone to Sutlers and gam- 
blers. Ilrmdreds of men, careless of necessities of distant friends, 
and etpially regardless of their own future wants, were induced by 
the example of their more provident compinlons to remit |)ortion.s 
of their pay. The relief thus secured to the families of the care- 
less and improvident prevented want and suffering in many homes, 
and proved lhe most benilicent feature of the Agency. 

Hut this svstem, though accom|)lishing all that was expected 
from it, was not free from serious objections, the principal one of 
which was the great risk incurred in carrying large sums of money 
thro tgh sections of country infested by guerrilla bands and those 
marauding hordes which generally hang upon the rear of armies in 
the licld. Mr. GoomviN frecpiently found himself at a distance 
from our guarded lines of communication, with a valise tilled with 
money, and could obtain neither guaril nor transpoi tation. In- 
cumlicred with this sacred trust, which represented the food and 
clothing of thousands of needy women and children, he was 
obliged to proceed on foot and alone through those wild and 
dangerous regions between the advancing army and its base. At 
Holly Springs he was in imminent danger of being captured by a 
portion of the force under Van Dokx, an unexpected movement 
having placed him in the iir.mediate vicinity of the rebels. Re- 
luming from a trip to the ;irmy stationed near Murfreeshoro with 
letters containing 8120.000. packed in a trunk, he lost sight of it 
for several hours, through the misconduct of an unfaithful [uirter. 



TWO MILLION DOLLARS COLLECTED. 377 

Personal risks at thai time were esteemed as of little consf'(|ii(>iice 
among those familiar with army life, but the financial risks eon- 
staiiTly incurrefl in the prosecution of this business were greater 
Than common carriers assumed, and too hazardous to warrant their 
continuance. The numerous escapes of Mr. Goodwin, the only 
pay agent then operating to any considerable extent, made it appa- 
rent that th<^ o!)ject for which the plan was devised must be 
abandoned and some safer mode adopted. 

The Congressional allotment act fiirnishetl the central idea from 
which Mr. Goodwin, with the advice and approval of Governor 
MoF.rox, elaborated a system that promised to work snccessfully. 
Instead of sending commissioners to thi^ fi^'ld to procure allotments, 
as conteiTiplated in the act of Congress, each command was prc^- 
vided Vv'ith rolls on which each soldier could specify the amount he 
d(\-ired to send, and the name and residence of the person to whom 
ii should he sent. Tlie paymaster and pay agent, each being pro- 
vided with a copy of the rolls, the former could give a check on 
New York for tlie aggregare amount allotted by each couipany, 
wliicli the latter coidd cash and remit in accordance wiih the indi- 
vidual allotments. The Congressional plan made no p>rovision for 
aggregating the idlotmee.ts of a company, but rcr^uircd paymasters 
to draw a sejnu-ate cheek on New York for the allotment of (-ach 
man. 

The first of these rolls were sent out earl^- in 1803, and most of 
the r(\g:ments iiruncdiately commenced to avail themselves of the 
faeiliiics thu.> offered. The system comluned the imporlant r(^qni- 
sites of safety, celerity and economy, and rapidly grevN' in favor 
with the troops. Mr. Goodwin continued in charge of the office, 
which w.'.s established at Indianapolis, conducting its immense 
business with ability and integrity, from the inauguration of the 
allotment system rill most of the Indiana trooi)s were mustered out 
of the service. During the period nearly two millions of dollars 
were received and transmitted in about forty thousand diUcreiit 
packages without the loss of a single package. 

Among the many novel institutions called into existence! to meet 
the sudd(>n emergencies imposed upon the loyal people of the 
country in the suppression of " the great rebellion," there was none 
which produced more beneficial results, at a comparatively trivial 
expense, than the Indiana Allotment Commission. 



378 ADJUTANT GENERAL "S REPORT. 

SOLDIERS' MONUMENTS. 

A grateful people can never be unmindful of its patriotic duty 
to perpetuate the memory of the brave men who have laid down 
their lives in defense of the National Goviirnment. This has been 
done in this State by the publication of the military history of each 
officer and soldier, living and dead, who participated in the late 
war; and tlie record, imperfeet as it may be, will be an enduring 
moiuiment to the sacrifices and services of those whose gallant 
deeds it aims to commemorate. But a record of this kind, hovv^ever 
(;t>mplere, does not preclude the propriety of erecting in the several 
counties mural monuments, of granite or marble, which have been 
in all ages of the world a gratifying and beautiful means of per- 
petuating the memories of heroes and patriots who by their valor 
have " saved the State," as well as of dear and loved friends and 
relations " gone before." 

The [people of Indiana require neither admonition nor example 
to excite their lasting gratitude towards our deceased soldiers; a 
just pride; in the memory of thi'ir heroic tleeds is already built up 
in the hearts of our citizens, and as opportunity ofiers, will find 
tangible and enduring expression, befitting the sentiments they en- 
tertain, and in keeping with our war record as a State, and the 
character of the priceless services so worthy of commemoration. 

A plan has been devised which seems to meet with almost uni- 
versal approval — the erection by the citizens of each county of a 
monument bearing the names of their deceased soldiers, and the 
names and dates of the battles in which they fell, or the places 
where they died. In compliance with a very general expression of 
public opinion, the Legislature, at the special session of 18G5, 
passed an Act* authorizing Boards of County Commissioners to 
receive subscriptions from individuals and make appropriations from 
the County Treasuries for the erection of soldiers' monuments, and 
to purchase or r(?ceive by donation suitable sites for the same at or 
near the seat of Justice of each county. This Act is founded on 
the assumption that the objects attained by the war are a common 
and precious heritage, and the perpetuation of the memory of those 
who gave up their lives in securing those objects, a common and 
sacred duty. Few will dispute the correctness of this principle, or 
object to its practical application.

tion," will) Colonel Joun R. ]Mau.\\, as President, Wh.liam D. 
Allkn, as Treasurer, and David Jom-.s, as Secretiuy. The object 
of the association was to erect a nsonument at the City of Green 
Castie, to the memory of tlie soldiers of Putnam county whose 
lives were lost in tlie war of the rebel!it)n, the necessary funds to 
be raised by voluntary contributions. The eminent Sculptor, 
Thomas D. Jonks, Esq., of Cinciimati, was commissioned to prei)are 
appropriate plans and estimates, which were duly submitted and 
adopted. 

The desitju of the monument is artistic and beautiful. The base 
or pedestal is of Putnam c;ounty granite, eight feet high, a portion 
of which is handsomely paneled, upon which the names of the 
deceased soldiers are inscribed : above, on the sides of the monu- 
ment, are battle scenes l^eautifnlly sculptured in alio reliero after 
the manner of ancient has reliefs. Surmounting the pedestal, or 
main body of the monument, is a life-size statue, six feet in hight, 
representing an American Soldier, executed by Mr. Jones in mar- 
ble, and regarded by accomplished art-critics as the most success- 
ful portrayal of the '-gallant volunteer" yet achieved in this coun- 
try. The entire hight of the monument from the surfact; ol the 
ground to the apex is fourteen feet; total cost, ten thousand dol- 
lars, all of which was raised in Putnam county through the ener- 
getic elForts of the efficient officers and members of the associa- 
tion, by voluntary subscription.

MONUMENT AT N B f, E S V 1 L L E . 

The monument erected to the memory of the soldiers of Ham- 
ilton coiinty, stands on the highest and most conspicuous spot iu 
the cemetery at NoblesviHe. It consists of an octagonal sb.att 
twenty -two and a-half feet high, each side mear-uiing eight feet in 
\vi(hh, resting on a trijiple base, the sections of which are eiglit, six 
and four feet square, respectively. A perched eagle surmoUMis the 
sliaft, and on each of the four sides, corresponding to the principal 
points of the compass and six i'eet from the top, is a spread eagle 
holding a scroll. On the first of these scrolls is inscribed a memo- 
rial to the Hamilton county soldiers, and on the remaining Three 
are ihr names of all field and slatf officers w'ho entered the service 
from that county. On the eight sidi'S of the shaft and on the four 
sides of each of the two uppermost sections of the base are th«' 
names and rank of all the line officers and enlisted men, living and 
dead, arrssnged in their respective organizations, conjmencing with 
the oldest. The national ilig enfolds the top of the shaft, beauti- 
fally sculptured, above the spread eagles. 

The hight of tlu; structure is twenty-four feet; weight 35,000 
pounds: material, the best marble. It was built by Messrs. Jack- 
son cc IIoLLO\VAY, of Aiiderson, Indiana, at a cost of five thou- 
sand dollars, which sum. was appropriated from the county iutids 
bv the Board of Commissioners under the act of I8()-3. 

Tlie monument is pronounced by connoisseurs in mural arcbi- 
teclurc on*' of the most beautiful in any part of this coui)try, cre(]- 
itable not onlv to the liberality and patriotism of the citizens of 
Hamilton county, but to the taste and artistic skill of its design- 
ers and l)uilders. 

On the 4th of July, 186^, the monument was formally and ap- 
propriately dedicated. A large concourse of ex-soldiers of the 
Union army, and many citizens, were present, including delega- 
tions from Indianapolis, Tipton, Kokomo, Peru and other cities 
and towns of central Indiana. The orator of the day was Gov- 
ernor Conrad Baker, who took for his subject "Our National 
Union." Referring to the monument he used the following elo- 
quent and beautiful language: 

'• It has been the custom of nearly all nations to dedicate temples, altars, statue* 
and other structures, as well as particular places, to sacred purposes. It prevailed

scriptiirt's we read of the dedication of the tabiuiiacle, of altars, of the iii-st and 
secoHd temples, and even of the houses of privale persons. T!u! lieathen nations 
also had dedications of temjiles, aliai-s and ;niaij;es of their goils. Tlie celebration 
of liic anniversaries of ;,n\'al national events may also be traced to a remote anti- 
quity. The Jews cwry }ear celebi'ated for eight days the anniversary of tlie dedi- 
cation of their temple. We meet together to-day for tlie double jjurpose of dedi- 
cating as sacred to the memory of heroic patriots, living and dead, t!ie beautiful 
monum-nt before us, erected by the pitriotic liberality of Hamilton county, and to 
e-'jlebrate the anniversary of the dedicau.>n by our fathers of the Temple of Ameri- 
can Liberty and Independence. Tiie beautiful monument In whose presence we 
sitand, attests the fact that the county authorities and people of Hamilton county 
know how to appreciate the struggle through which the nation has recently jiassed, 
and how toeslimate the gallant services of tiieir own citizens wlio took so distin- 
guislied a part in the grand strug 'le. Grand in its proportions; gi'and in the j)er-

the country responded to the calls of the Government tor men and money to save

h-izard nothing in saying that lew communities having no greater population, did 
more, or even so much, in contributing volunteer soldiers to the armies of tlie Union

of your manhood to the national defense during ilie war, and this m.onument testl-

contest whicli saved our nationality and continued us one people, having one Con- 
ttitution, one Government, and one Destiny. 

" I congratulate you in view of your achievements during the war, and I congrat.

hallowed occasion. 

Tlie nionnmcnt was presented to 1lie jieoplt* of Hamilton county 
by the sculptor, Mr. E, M. Jackson, in tlie following litting words: 

" We have met upon this our nation's birth day for the purpose of unveil- 
ing and presenting to the citizens of Ham.ilton county this beautiful monu- 
ment. It is pro[)er tliat such a presentation should take phice upon such a 
day. (Jur memories revert to the days of ITTfi, when our forefathers, in 
solemn council .assembled, declared tliat the colonies are, and of right ought 
to be, free and independent. 

"The generations which .succeeded them have given every evidence of the 
same spirit of patriotism which imbued their hearts, and have erected mon- 
ument after monument in memory of theii' fallen heroes So it is with us in 
our day. An unnatural and cruel war has paf-sed away. In its cause many 
have iaJh^n, and many liearthstones jiic desolate; many sons, brothers and 
husbands have fought their last fight. ;M!d have given the imperishable crown 
to victory 

"'rht'ir names and tlieir memories are engraved as indelibly upon our 
hearts as they are engraveil ui^on this stane. We need no better evidence 
of tiie spiiit of reverence for cur brave and gallant soldiers than is exhibited 
by the geneious liberality of your County Commissioners in the purchase and 
erection of this marble shaft, draped so appropriately with the banners of our 
country, the Stars and Stripes. Upon its sutnniit is perched the American 
Eagle, emblem of freedom, inviting the oppressed of every land to 
shelter under its wide spread wings. 

''In erecting this monument, your Commissioners simply did their duty. 
Those boys had the promise when they lefc their homes that they would be 
remembered, liow nobly has H;in)iltt>n county responded, in having en- 
graved not only her dead but her living heroes, wlio fought on many a bloody 
batlle-tield with Spartan zeal, that they might retrieve, in p-irt, i'or the loss 
of their fellow comrades, and prove to us that a republican form of govern- 
ment was a success, and to the world a guarantee of universal freedom. 

"And, in conclusion, we now* present and commit into your hands and 
keeping, through Governor Bakkk, this monument. Upon its smooth and 
polished tablets are engraved the names of Hamilton county's gallant de- 
fenders. May the names of our fallen ones ever be in our remembrance. 
May the hand of charity and of friendship be ever extended to the heart- 
stricken loved ones upon earth. May this beautiful monument ever call to 
our minde that love of country and that heart-felt patriotism of which every 
true American is a noble defender. And may the glory and renown of 
America prove as iniperi,siiable as this graven stone."

Hon. .Tami:s O'Rrik.x, on behalf of tlio Board of Commissioners, 
also made a sjiort presentation address. He said: 

'• This uionumeiit li:is been erected by the citizens of Hamilton countj-. 
tbiougli their proper legal repi'esentatives, the Board of Commissioners, in 
me.mory of our soldiers and seamen, who, in campaign and cruise, imperiled 
their lives to protect, preserve and defend our existing institutions and forni 
of Government. In the name of the citizens, and by virtue of the authority 
confided in me by their proper representatives, the Board of Commissioner*, 
J now present this monument for dedication." 

Colonel Wir.i.iA^r (tarvi:^, on behalf of the peOple, spoke as 
follows : 

" Mr. O'Brikx — The beautiful, appropriate and enduring memorial wliicli 
the patriotic people of Hamilton county, through their Commissioners, have 
erected to the memory of the noble men who, in the hour of the nation's 
trial, came forward and devoted their lives to their country, is gratefully ac- 
cepted by the surviving soldiers as well as by the friends of the living and 
dead heroes. We return through you, to the Commissioners and people of 
Hamilton county, as well as to the builders of the monument, our heartfelt 
thanks." 

IMr. John Poxtious then closed the ceremonies with the follow- 
ing dedicatory remarks: 

'■ The jTi^nument having been presented and accepted, in the name of my 
country and in behalf of the citizens of Hamilton county, 1 do solemnly ded- 
icate this monument to the memory of the brave defenders of our Union, 
who enlisted from Hamilton county under the glorious banner of our Ke- 
puMic and imperiled their lives in defence of the principles of libertj' and 
happiness of the people of the Union. May vve ever revere and cherish their 
memories in our hearts and emulate their many virtues." 

While these exercises were going on, the ceremony of wreatliinir 
and otherwise decorating the monument was being performed, 
tenderly and appropriately, by a committee of ladies. 

MONUMENT AT PRINCETON. 

The surviving members of the Fifty-eighth Regiment Indiana 
Volunteers, aided to a limited extent by private citizens, have 
erected on the com-t house grounds at Princeton, Gibson county, 
an elegant marble shaft, 30 feet high, to perpetuate the memory of 
their deceased companion in arms. 

The local committee consisted of Dr. Andrf.w Lewis, Joseph 
Devin, William Kurtz and John Kell, Esqs. The contract for 
building the monument was awarded to C. Rule & Coleman, of 
Cincinnati, Ohio, on the 12th of November, 1863, and on the 
Fourth of July, 18(35, it was comp'eted and dedicated with appro-

priatc ceremonies. The entire cost of the structure amounted to 
luorf' than three thousand dollars. 

On tlie north !>ide are crossed swords, flag and wreath; on the 
cast side, a small shield resting on branches of oak and myrtle, 
crossed; underneath is a large wreath encircling the words — 

"KKECTCn BV THE SL'RVIVOl'.S OF Till-; FIFTY-KIGTH RKGIMHN r INDIANA

south side is a knapsack supporting crossed muskets and flags, and 
a soldier's cap; on the west sid(! is t!ie coat of arms of the State 
of Indiana. On the several sides are the following incriptions: 
south, "Stone River;" west, "Lavcrgne;" north, " Mission Ridge;" 
cast, "Chicamauga" and " Honor the Flag." The names of all the 
dead of the regiment are inscribed in various positions on the dif- 
ferent sides. At the base are four small columns. An American 
eagle surmounts the shaft, holding the national ensign in his beak 
and talons. 

MONUMENT TO MRS. ELIZA E. GEORGE. 

A beautiful monument was erected at Fort Wayne in 1866, by 
the citizens of that city, to the memory of Mrs. Eliza E. Gkouge, 
\vho<e patriotic services in behali' of oin- sick and wounded soldiers 
will be long and gratefully remembered. 'I'he Fort Wayne Gazette 
gives llie following description of tiie monument: 

" It is nifide of the iine.st white marble, and bast-d upon goHd mason work 
of Ihne and stone, four feet deep under ground. The base is three feet four 
inches s(iuureand sixteen inches thick. The sir-bnse is tliirty inches square 
and fourteem inches thick. The die is twenty-two inches square and 
and twenty-four inclies hi^ih ; the cap or moulding above the die, twenty 
inches square and seven inches thick; and the spire five feet four inches 
high, tapering to the top in fine proportion, and ciowned with an urn of in- 
cense. The totiil hight of the monument above the sod is twelve feet and 
four inches. 

"Tlie lettering and carving are very finely done On the second or sir- 
base, east front, the name of Mrs. Gkokge is cut in relief C)n the die is a <!e- 
sign intended to commemorate her labors among our sick and wounded sol- 
diers, devised, wo understand, by Solomon D. Bayless, Esq. It is a scene 
near Kenesaw Mountain, where, as many a poor soldier will remember, Mrs. 
George was most ivctive in her labor of love. A wounded soldier sits near 
thef!oor of a hospital tent, leaning against a tree, with his cup and canteen 
by his si'le. Over the camp fire are the kettle and coffee pot. The nurse is 
passing from the fire with a cup of smoking coffee to the soldier, who extends 
his hand to receive it. On the s])ire is cut a brquet of flowers. On the south 
front arc the following inscriptions :

.MONUMi;is'T TO COLONEL WILLIAM li . CARROLL. 

The citizens of Lailiyctte, in 1867, erected a liandsome and ap- 
propriate rnonuinetit to the memory of Colonel William B. Cak- 
KOLL, Tenth Regiment Indiana Volunteert^, who was killed in bat- 
tle at Chieamanga, September 19rh, 1863. The Lafayette Journal 
of September 3, 1867, thus describes the monument: 

" Without pomp or ceremony, the monument to the memory of Colonel 
W. B. Caukoi.l was yesterday erected over his remains. It was the recjueat 
of his family that no public display should be made on the occasion, so that 
no one was present except the workmen, and one or two friends who served 
with him in the army, and who have been active in getting up the monu- 
ment. It IS located in the southeast corner of Greenwood ("emetery, upon- 
the family burial lot, where rest the body of the late Colonel, and a cliild 
\Tho died in 18o3. The limestone base, three feet three inches square and 
two feet thick, is firmly imbedded on a solid foundation a little more than 
two fec-t deep. The marble base above the limestone is two feet six inches 
'square and ten inches thick. Upon this rests the die, two feet square and 
two feet six inches high, upon which are the inscriptions. Above the dio 
comes the column, five feet six or seven inches in hight and about eighteen 
inches square at its base, tapered ofF in the usual proportions, ornamented a.'\ 
its top with a beautiful Roman cap or cornice, and surmounted by an urn, 
which, with an acorn surmounts the whole, is about two feet high. Upon 
the die, facing the west, is the following inscription:

thee in silence; God is just, and demanded the sacrifice.'

eagle emblematic of a, colonel's rank in the army, with the American shield 
and the arrows and olive branch in its talons. The acorn surmownliiig the 
monument represents the Fourteenth Army Corps badge, to which he be- 
longed. The whole structure stands between twelve and thirteen feet above 
the ground, is made of the finest Italian marble, beautifully finished and 
polished to the fullest extent of which the marble is capable. Tt is by all 
odds the neatest and prettiest monument in the cemetery, and reflects great 
ciredit upon Mr. Dan. H.vwk, who selected the do.-'.ign, and upon John W. 
Pami'ell, at whose establishment it wa.s gotten up. It is a noble monument, 
and is erected to the memory of as noble, as true-hearted, and as brave a man 
as ever drew a sAvord in defense of his country." 



FUNERAL HONORS TO PRESIDENT LINCOLN. 

The death of President Lincoln, with whose name the war in 
defense of the Union was so intimately connected, overwhelmed 
the nation in sadness and grief. Lkk had ju.st surrendered, and 
the war was virtually closed. Ti)o heait.i of the loyal people 
warmed toward their beloved chief magistrate, under whose 
masterly guidance the great victory had b;^en achieved, and no 
man, not excepting the Father of hi.s Couiitry, ever poi^^sessed the 
love and esteem of his countrymen in a greater degree than Mr. 
Lincoln did at that time. 

The startling intelligence was communicated by telegraph on 
the morning after the occurrence of the event. The whole land, 
the day before so buoyant and joyous nt the prospect of a speedy 
and triumphant peace, was at onee thrown into the deepest grief 
and enshrouded in mourning. 

The Executive of Indiana, the intimate personal and political 
friend of the President, and during the entire war one of his most 
trusted co-operators in the suppression of the rebellion, iw his offi- 
cial capacity announced the sad event in the following touching 
language : 

State of Indiana, Executive Department, 

Indianapolis, April 15th, 18G5. 
To the Citizens of Indianapolis : 

The mournful intelligence has bscii reccircd that the President, Abraham 
Lincoln, died this morning from a wound inflicted by the hand of an ass;;ssin, last 
night. A great and good man has fallen, and the country has lost its beloved and 
patriotic Chief Mag-Istrate in the hour of hor greatest need. 



FUNERAL HONORS AT INDIANAPOLIS. 887 

I lliereforo rcquei-t the citizens of Indianapolis, in testimony of their profound 
Forrow, to close their places of busincs?, and assemble in the State House Square at 
twelve o'clock M. to-day, to give expression to their sentiments over this great 
National calamity. O. P. Moktox, 

Governor of Indiana. 

The mpeting wag held in accordance with the Governor's recom- 
mendation, and was attended by a large concourse of citizens. It 
was a most monrnful tribute to tlie virtues and WH)rth of the illus- 
trious dead, and gave an earnest expression of confidence in the 
successor to the Presidential office. Though the brightest jewel had 
been snatched from the coronet of the Nation, there was not one 
who despaired of its perpetuity or its future glory. 

A few days after, throughout the country solemn and im- 
pressive funeral honors were observed in view of the great Na- 
tional loss. The arrangements for the ceremonies at the Capital 
of Indiana were most appropriate and beautiful. In everv part of 
the Srate similar honors were observed. 

The authorities of the Government, on the 18th of April, deter- 
m;n<'d finally upon the route over which the remains of Mr. Lin- 
coln should be carried to their final resting place, at his old home 
in Illinois. Indianapolis w:ts mndc a point. Governor Morton, 
then in Washington, telegraphed instructions to Lieutenant 
Governor Bakeh, and to his militory staff", his desire that the 
remains should be received and honors paid in a manner befitting 
the great occa^ion and the character of tlie State. Accordingly, 
the Capital building was put in condition for the reception of the 
rciiiains; it was beautifully and ai)propriate]y draped and deco- 
rated ; futieral arches were erected in the streets and Capital 
grounds, a beautiful funeral car was constructed, and most of the 
business and private houses of the city were draped and decorated. 

The remains arrived on Sunday, the 30th of April, and, with the 
guard of honor, were received by the Governor and his stalT, 
Justices of tlie Supreme Court and other State ofiieers, Major 
General Josbph Hookkr and staff, commanding the Department, 
and the military of the State under command of Major General 
Alvin p. IIovev, commanding the District. The remains were 
deposited in the rotunda of the Capital, where they lay in state, 
and were viewed by more than one hundred thousand persons dur- 
ing the day and evening. At midnight they were placed again en 
route for Springfield, attended by delegations from all the loyal 
States. 



888 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

MILITARY AUDITING COMMITTEE. 

FIRST COM JUT TEE -18 G 1-2- 

At the special session of the Legislature, 1^61, large appropria- 
tions were made for military purposes to enable the State to re- 
spond properly and promptly to all calls tor troops, to turnish her 
soldiers with necessary outfits, equipage and arms, and to relieve 
the sick and wounded. It was expected that these transactions 
would be of great extent, and, therefore, as a check upon any dis- 
position to extravagance or dishonesty on the part of olTicials or 
claimants, as well as to insure economy in expenditures, it was 
deemed advisable to create an Auditing Hoard to examine and 
audit, prior to payment by the State, all claims, vouchers and ac- 
counts of a military character. A law was passed accordingly, 
and approved MaySLst, 1861.* It provided for the appointment of 
a committee, denominated " The Military Auditing Committee," 
c(msisting of two members of the House and one of the Senate, 
who were required to meet at Indianapolis monthly and examine 
and audit the military accounts of every description payable out 
of the public treasury, under the act referred to. 

The Hon. David C. Branuam, of Jefferson, Hon. MA'rnKw L. 
Brktt, of Daviess, and Hon. JosnuA H. Mkllktt, of Henry, were 
appointed, the two former on the part of the House, and the latter 
on the part of the Senate. They met at Indianapolis on the 11th 
of June for the transaction of business, but being notified by the 
Auditor of State, Hon. Albkrt Lange, that' he considered it his 
right and duty to disregard the action of the Committee on the 
ground that the act constituting it was unconstitutional and void, 
and that he would, therefore, as in other cases, audit all just and 
duly certified military accounts and draw his warrants upon the 
treasury, as if the committee had not been appointed. The Audi- 
tor, in taking this course, was doubtless actuated by a sense of his 
own prerogatives, thinking, evidently, that what the committee pro- 
posed to do he could do as well and with less circumlocution and 
less hindrance to the eflbrts that were being made to place Indiana 
troops earliest and foremost in the field. He desired rather to facil- 
itate than retard the great work that had been undertaken by the 
State. Personally, he was on the best terms with the members of 
the committee, but he insisted that he was the Auditor, and it was 

''Appendix Doc. No. 52. 



FIRST MILITARY AUDITING COMMITTEE. ' 389 

not the province of the Legislature to (l<>prive him of any of his 
power, by the appointment of an irrepponsil)Ie committee. He had 
been elected by the sovereign people of the State to audit all pub- 
lic aeconnts payable out of the public treasury ; he had given bonds 
for the faithful and honest performance of his duties, and had duly 
qualified in every respect according to law. Here was a "dead 
lock," so far as the committee were concerned. The members, who 
were plain, practical men, had j)Ientv to attend to on private ac- 
count at home; they would gladly have been relieve'd of the labors, 
responsibilities and inconveniences imposed upon them; but they 
were of o|)inion that it was entirely competent for the Legislature 
to ortler preliminary investigation and authentication of any and 
all claims u[)on the public treasury; that anything they might do 
could not, under the law, deprive the Auditor of any of his right 
or power, and that it was their duty, under the extraordinary cir- 
cumstances created by a state of war, to execute with scrupulous 
fidelity the trust the Legislature had imposed upon them. L^gal 
proceedings were therefore instituted to test the constitutionality 
of the law creating the committee, and the Auditor was required 
to show cause why he should not recognize the committee's action 
and be restrained from auditing military accounts unless the same 
were first duly a''_idited and certified by the committee. The case 
was submitted to the ('oni,mon Pleas Court of Marion county and 
decided in favor of the Auditor. An appeal was taken to the Su- 
preme Court — the decision of the Common Pleas was overruled 
and the act declared c(mstitntional and in full force. 

It is but justice to Mr. Langh to say, that when the Committee 
had fairly entered upon its duties, and when the importance became 
understood of ihorougli and searching investigations into every 
military claim, he frankly and cheerfully ae(]uiesced in the wisdom 
and prudence of the Legislature in providing this additional safe- 
guard. Instead of hindering or delaying tht; efforts of the authori- 
ties, it greatly facilitated the transaction of public business, gave 
confidence to the tax-payers of the State and held at bay a host of 
mercenary jjlunderers who otherwise would have used every devisa- 
ble expedient to get iiold of the public funds. 

The Committee met again for the transaction of business on the 
15th of July. Mr. Bkanham was elected Chairman, and, under the 
sixth section of the act, W. 11. H. Tkrrkll, of Vineennes, was ap- 
pointed Clerk. The rule adopted in the adjustment of claims was 



390 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

" to protect the State from unjust and exhorbitant demands, and at 
the same time to award to claimants what was just and proper and 
no more." The Committee continued to meet monthly until Jan- 
uary, 1863. Claims amounting to one million two hundred tifty- 
six thousand five hundred and ninety-three dollars and thirty cents 
were audited on account of the United States' and State servic(\ 

Mr. Terrell having been appointed Military Secretary to Gov- 
Hrnor Mouton, in January, 1862, Mr. W. C. Lupton succeeded 
hitn as Clerk, and continued to act in that capacity until tlie 19th 
of June, at which time he was appointed Quartermaster of Volun- 
teers, and J. J. Hayden, Esq., was selected to fill the vacancy and 
served in that capacity until tlie ComiTiittee ceased to act. 

The members of the Committee were prompt in tlieir attendance 
upon their duties, and fairly and thoroughly investigated every 
matter brought before them. Many claims were rejected or reduced 
in amount, and the interests of the State carefully and honestly 
guarded. They deserve, for their faithful services, untiring zeal 
and strict integrity, the thanks of the people of the State. 
SECOND COMMITTEE-1863-4. 

Under joint resolutions passed by the General Assembly in 
March, 1863,* a second Military Auditing Commit t'c was provided 
for, consisting of Honorables Paris C. Dunmng (Cliairniaii) and 
John C. New, on the part of the Senate, and William E. Niblack, 
Samuel IL Buskirk and Alfred Kilgoke, on the part of the 
House of Representatives. Mr. Jacob S. Bkoadwell was ap- 
pointed Clerk. The general plan pursued by the first committee, 
in the investigation and allowance of claims, was followed by the 
Second. The members of the Committee were recognized through- 
out the State as gentlemen of ability, integrity and good judg- 
ment. Their report, which was printed by order of the Legisla- 
ture, is an interesting document, and shows the total amount of 
claims audited during their term to be nine hundred and eighty- 
five thousand seven hundred and sixty-three dollars and forty-three 
cents.

A third Military Auditing Committee was created by act of the 
General Assembly, approved March 6th, 1865,t which provided that

The Honorable Paris C. Dunning (Chairman) was rcUppoinled on 
the part oF the Senate, the Honorables Alfhkd Kilgork and John 
A. Hknricks on the part of the House. Major O. M. Wilson 
was selected as Secretary* The law also made it the duty of the 
Attorney General of the State to act as the legal adviser of the 
Committee and to attend its sessions, whenever notified and re- 
quired, and resist the allowance of all disputed claims. In addi- 
tion the Committee was required, upon the completion of their 
labors, to make and submit to the ensuing regular meeting of the 
Legislature a full and succinct report of their transactions for the 
information of the General Assembly. 

At the special session of the Legislature, 1SG5, an act was passed 
(approved December 23d*) requiring the Committee to wind up 
its business by the first of April, 1866. It is to be regretted that 
the Committee, up to this time, has not made a report of its trans- 
actions, as required by law. I am, therefore, unable to make anv 
statement as to the extent or nalure of its business. 



S'J'ATE PAYMASTER. 

MAJOR OSCAR II. KENDRICK. 

The enactment of the Six Regiment Law,f and the enlistment 
of State troopst in accordance therewith, necessitated the employ- 
ment of a State Paymaster. On the 1st of June, 1861, an act § 
was passed providing for the appointment of such an officer and 
defining his duties. Dr. Oscar H. Kicndkick of Indianapolis, w^as 
appointed to the position on the lltli of June, and at once took 
charge of the State Pay Department. Although entirely inexperi- 
enced, he was a pains-taking, faithlul and conscientious officer, and 
throughout his term of service discharged his responsible duties in 
a highly satisfactory manner. 

The State regiments, as originally organized were the Twelfth, 
Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Seventeenth in- 
fantry, and Stewart's company of cavalry ; besides there were 
five extra companies of infantry and a squad of artillery. Early 
in June a requisition was made by the War Department upon the 
Governor for four infantry regiments, and they were promptly or-

ganized from the six reginients above named, the Thirteenth, I'our- 
teenth, Fifteenth and Seventeenlh volunteering for three years, 
except an inconsiderable number, who declined to enter the United 
States' service, and were discharged, their phices being filled from 
the unattached companies. Subsequently the Twelfth and Six- 
teenth regiments were also transferred for one years' service. 

Major AENDPvicK paid, out of State funds, the discliargrd men, 
and the Tv^elfrh and Sixteenth regiments; also some of the unat- 
tached companies, and a number of the oilicers of all the State 
forces for the lime they were in the State service, his total disburse- 
ments amounting to the sum of §94,083.27, which amount was 
duly accounted for upon proper vouchers filed with the State Treas- 
urer. These vouchers have since been presented at tiie Treasury 
Dcjjartnient of the United States for re-iiubursement to the State, 
and nearly, if not quite, the whole amount has been allowed. 

After the transfer of the State forces to the General Government, 
Major Kkndrick was ordered by the Governor, to open an ollice at 
Indianapolis, and render all necessary assistance to discharged In- 
diana volunteers, in securing their pay and allowances from the 
United States. He prepared their accounts and attended to the 
collection of their dues, and thus s-aved iheni from vexations, de- 
lays and exliorbiiant charges of agents, to which they would other- 
wise have been su'ojected. On tlie ^Hth of June, 1862, he tendered 
his resignation, on account of ill hi'alth and was honoi'ably dis- 
charged. 

PAY DUE STATE TROOPS FOR SERVICES UNDER ' SIX REGIMENT BILL."

Siu : Under an Act approved May lltli, 18CI, six regiments of State troop?, 
for twelve month's service, were organized, viz : the Twelfth, Thirteenth, Four- 
teenth, Fifteentli, Sixteenth and Seventeenth R?giincnt3. A call -was afterwards 
made for four regiments of United States Volunteers, which were organized from 
tlie companies composing tlie State regiments, and duly mustered into tlie Ignited 
States SLTvice. This was done by transferring from ditfercnt companies such men 
as would volunteer for three years service, and by consolidating the remaining men 
into two regiments of Stale troops — the Twelfth and Sixteenth. The transfers 
alluded to run through the rolls of nearly every one of the companies composing 
the six regiments. The State Paymaster made payments to those who did not enter

the Uni'cd States' service, from tlie date the eoinpaiiics went info camp tu the date 
of transfer to the United States service, and the United States Paymaster made 
payment fVom the date tlie companies, transferred to tlie service of the (ieneraj 
Government, went into camp, exce[)t in cases where the men liad been transferred 
from companies tliat did not enter the United States service. Thus a number of 
those wiio entered tlie United States service by transfer fiom the Twelfth and Six- 
teenth regiments and a detachment of five companies, (known, at that lime, as the 
Eiuhtecntli regiment) have not been paid for their services as Slate troops because 
of their absence at the time the State Paymaster was making liis payments. After 
their discharge from the United States service, many of t-hem made claim for their 
dues from the State, but the military fund having been exhausted they could not be 
paid. 

There are, also, sonu^ v.-ho were discharged from the State service, pri(n- to the 
payments made by the State Payma^^ter, who have a legal claim for services ren- 
dered, and who cannot be paid on accoimt of the absence of an appropriafion. 

Fiom an estimate made, based upon a careful examination of the rolls in this 
office, the claimants represent, in the aggregatfe, 5895 day's service, which at $13.50 
per month, the monthly pay and clotiiing allowance, paid at the time tlie services 
were rendered, amounts to tlie sum of .$2,472. 

I respectfully recommend that an ap])ropriation be made to cover these claims, 
and that tlie State Paymaster be rerpiired to draw and disburse the money as itmay 
be demanded, upon certified rolls to be furnished from this office. 

I have tiie honor to be, y^ry respecifully, your obedient servant, 

W. II. H. Teimiell, Adjutant (renera!, hulhtna. 
On the 4th of Mnrcli, ISiio, the General Assembly made an ap- 
propriation of 82,500 to cover the claims mentioned, and authorized 
the same to be disbursed by the Suite Paymaster upon evidence to 
be furnished by the Adjutant General. Accordingly certitied copies 
of the rolls of all men, shown to be entitled to pay, under the Act 
of 4th of March, lvSli5, were made and furnished Major Spkarns 
FisHKU, State Paymaster, on tlie 22d of April, 1865, showing the 
term of s(n-vice and the amount due each. The aggregate amount 
thus certified was as follows : 

Twelveth Regiment, 8 474.75 

Thirteenth Regiment, (itvi.SS 

Fifteenth Regiment, 56S.55 

Sixteenth Regiment, 1,345.88 

Eighteenth Battalion, 51.00 

Total, $:i,107.03 

The amount appropriated, although less than the amount due, 
will doubtless be more than sutlicient to pay all the claimants who 
will ever apply. 



394 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

MAJOR STEARNS FISHER. 

The frequent disturbances on the southern border of the State 
in 1861 and 1>^G2^ required the Indiana Legion* to be frequently 
called out. No arrangement was made for paying these troops 
until the 11th of April, 1863, when the Governor determined to use 
the militia fund for tliat purpose, appropriated by the act of 1861 
for the support of the Legion, and which could not be distiibuted 
to the sev(n-al counties, as the law intended, because of certain ob- 
stacles growing out of incomplete legislation. On the above date 
the Hon. Stearns Fisuku, of Wabash county, was appointed Pay- 
master. 

In parsunnce of the Governor's instructions he visited all the 
counties bordering on the Ohio river for the purpose of collecting 
facts and making up pay rolls for services rendered in repelling rebel 
raids, and guarding the border from threatened rebel invasion. 
This duty was attended with many difficulties; in many of the 
counties no record had been kept of services rendered; companies 
had been called out in emergencies and discharged when the danger 
was past, and no account kept of the time. Major Fisuer, how- 
ever, by patient and laborious research, succeeded in making up, 
from sworn evidence and other reliable data, a very satisfactory set 
of rolls, and as soon as possible commenced payment, visiting all 
the counties in person where troops had served. 

The raid of Morgan soon followed, and other raids and disturb- 
ances frequently occurred. The liabilities of the State for pay of 
the Legion and Minute-men rapidly increased, and the paymaster 
was again required to collect evidence and make up proper rolls for 
payn)ent. This was a very considerable task, but it was fully and 
thoroughly performed. The amount due each soldier was small, 
and as the Morgan Raid troops were drawn from widely remote 
portions of the State, the process of payment was necessarily slow. 
The Paymaster was required to visit at least one, and in some 
cases two and three places in each county that furnished men. 
There v^'ere over three hundred companies on duty " after Morgan,'' 
and every congressional district was represented, except the Tenth, 
In some cases not more than half the men would present them- 
selves for payment at the time and place appointed, being absent 
and generally in the army. Very rarely was a company paid 
entire. Unpaid claimants, either by their attorneys or in person,

constantly continued to demand tlieir dues, and Major FisnicR was 
iberefore required 1o keep an ofliee open at Indianapolis, and attend 
in person or by clerk until near the close of his term. 

His accounts and vouchers were forwarded from tiinc to time to 
the Treasury Department at Washington for re-payment, anrl up 
to the 11th of April, 18G6, the sum of 8193,390 35 had been re- 
funded to the State, sincr which time further re-payment has been 
stopped because the appropriation, made by Congress for this pur- 
pose, has been exhaust(>d. Provision, lio\v(-ver, has been made for 
jina! settlement through a Comndssion appointed by the President 
under an act of Congress, approved March 29th, 1SC7. 

The entire disbursement made by Major Fisher, as shown by 
his account current, amount to the stun of 8648,885 OS. 

On the 11th of March, ]8{)7, in pursuance of an act of the Leg- 
islature,* the records and business of the Pay Department were 
transferred io the Adjutant General, Uiud that officer was required 
to perform the duties of Paymaster, after the 15th of June following, 
at which date Major Fishkr was honorably discharged the service. 
It is due to him to say that he was an intelligent, faithful and honest 
officer, and in discharging the extensive and intricate duties of his 
liosition, won the respect and confidence of the people of the State. 
TAY DEPARTMENT TRANSFERRED. 

After the transfer was n)ade to the Adjutant General, as above 
stateti, a new system of vouchers was devised, and a difierent mode 
of payment establisiied. The amount still standing on the rolls as 
unpaid was about »$30,000, llu^ greater part of which, the separate 
amounts being small, will not probably be called for. Not tiesiring 
to hold in my hands any of the public funds, I suggested that pay- 
ments be made upon my orders, after being ai)proved by the Gov- 
ernor, directly by warrants drawn by the Auditor of State on the 
Treasury. This plan was adopted and incorporated by the Legis- 
lature in the act before refc-rred to. Thus no funds are required 
except as claimants present themselves, and when they cease to 
make demands the balance of funds appropriated will remain, as it. 
ought, in the coHers of the State and may be applied to other objects. 

Since I have been acting Paymaster, payments to the amount of 
^3,277 23 have been made to three hundred and ninety-tMght dif- 
ferent claimants.

RAILROADS, STEAMBOATS AND THE TELEGRAPH 

IN THE WAR. 

11 A ] I, U () A D S 

The railroads of the country, during the rebellion, performed a 
part so important to the (lovernment in the transportation of 
troops, munitions and military stores, it would seem |)roper that 
their general good matiagenient and elFicient eouperation, so far as 
the same related to Indiana troops, should reeeive some acknowl- 
edgment in this report. 

It will not be denied that the hearty and generous spirit of pa- 
triotism, and the enterprising management so continuously dis- 
played by the railroad companies operating within our liniitsi 
assisted materially in insuring the grand success which attended the 
efforts of the Slate to prompily place lier quotas in the field; to 
furnish supplies and material of war to her troops; to look after 
and relieve her sick and wounded soldiers; to protect her southern 
border against rebel raids and to re|5el rebel invasions; and to meet 
and overcome the many critical (emergencies that arose during 
those eventful years. While it may be truly said that our railroad 
corporations flourished to an unparallelled degree by the patronage 
of the State and (Tcneral Government resulting from the war, nuiny 
of them, intlced, having Ijeen enabled from their military business 
alone to extinguish very heavy indebtedness and to bring up their 
stock from merely nominal figures to handsome (juotable rates — it 
is but just to adil that they did not reeeive greater profits nor amass 
inure wealth than they were reasonably entiiled to by their energy 
and eu1er|)rise, their hazards and the immense capital employed. 

Their rc'gular business and the private interesis of communities 
and individuals were necessarily subjected to many interruptions 
and annoyances by the peculiar and imperative demands of the 
public service, and such interruptions doubtless often resulted in 
heavy pecuniary losses and sacrifices to the business public. Mili- 
tary transportation always took precedence; and at times, ft)r weeks 
in succession, the ordisiary business of the country was almost 
entirely neglected and delerred. 

The capacity of the several roads, the ability and tact of the 
managing officials, and the faithfulness and endurance of opeiating 
employees, were thoroughly tested in a manner that reflected the 
highest credit upon all concerned. 



RAILROADS AND THE WAR. 307 

While it is itnpracticahlo to make special mention of the nr.iny 
occa-^ioiis when the salvation of the couiitiy, and especially the 
safely of our own homes, seemed to depend npon the prompt ac- 
tion of the railroads, it is proper to slate that their good manage- 
ment was strikingly displayed in forwarding new regiments to 
Kentnckv in August, 18(32, when the rebel forces under Ivirhy 
Smith, aiming to reach and destroy Cincinnati, were met and 
cheeked at Richmond; and in July, 1SG3, when John Mouc.an un- 
dertook his famous marauding expediiion north of the Ohio. Cin- 
einnati was saved; and the Morgan raiders were compelled to fly 
from the State, almost without sleep or rest. Most of the railroad 
companies observed tlie very liberal rule of carrying soldiers dis- 
eharged in the Held or on furlough, when unprovided with State or 
(Government transportation, at one-half the usual rates, whenever 
it appeared from their papers that they had been honorably dis- 
charged, or were traveling on proper leaves of absence. To those 
who were sick this generous reduction was a particularly welcome 
and valuable favor, enabling thousands to reach their homes where 
th(>y could recruit th(>ir unpaired health, as v\ell as to retiun to 
their regiments in the held at the proper time. In a great many 
cases where soldiers were destitute of means to pay their fare, or 
even represented themselves to be destitute, they were passed free. 
Impositions were of frequent occurrence, but the peculiar circum- 
stanc-es of the times and the disposition almost univers;illy felt to 
mitigtite the sufferings and relieve the destitution of every merito- 
rious soldier, induced most of the companies to relax and liberally 
construe their otherwise inflexibly stringent rules. 

Re(piisitions were frecpiently made by the State authorities for 
special and irrc^gular trains for the movement of troops, and to con- 
vey surgeons, nurses and hospital stores to the battle-field. Tiiese 
requisitions were always ])romptly met, and the services thus ren- 
dered were the means of accomplishing incalculable good. In the 
seven* winter of 1852-3, the wood for the use of the can)ps at In- 
dianapolis, including the rebel prison, was nearly exhausted; the 
weather was such that a snp|)]y could not be brought in by teams, 
and the men (;onsequently bc-ing upon put sliort allowance, b(>catne 
disaffected to such an extent that there was serious danger of a gen- 
eral stampede. In this condition of affairs, the oflicers of the Terre 
Haute road were applied to for relief, and they very promptly fur-

nished an abundant supply of i'lu'l from their wood-yards in th*^ 
country. 

But while as a general rule the admirable management of the 
railroads in the State during the war reflected the highest credit 
upon their officers, there were exceptional instances where the in- 
terests of the Government and tl'.e comfort of troops were greatly 
neglected. Delays occurred, whereby the men i^utlered much frotn 
hunger; and insuflicient supply of fuel occasionally afforded ground 
of complaint, and cars were furnished in some instances vvhich 
were unfit for the transportation of human beings. Pressure of 
business and unavoidable accidents donbtie;;s contributed largely 
to these evils, but ineffici<>ncy and culpabh^ neglect on the part of 
railroad officials were sotnetimes cleaily apparent. The bad con- 
duct of a few soldiers in maliciously damnging coaches, frequently 
caused the ^substitution of freight and stock ears, where better con- 
veyjinees might have been sup[)lied. Tlie soldiers were displeased 
at this oflensive discrimination betweim themselves and the general 
traveling public. They regarded it as a slight, an attempt to de- 
grade them, and were thereby provoked to acts of wanton destruc- 
tion, ill which they would not have engaged had they rectuved 
such treatment as they believed themselves entitled to. Thus feel- 
ings of mutual hostility were «ngendered between the railroad offi- 
cials and the soldiers, wlrich led to harsh treatment from the fortner 
and aggressive acts by the latter. 

In the summer of 1862, complaints against some of the roads 
were so frequent, it became necessary to appoint for this State a 
military railroad superintendent, and Colonel R. E. Ricker, Super- 
intendent of the Tcrre Haute and Indianapolis Railroad, w-as ap- 
pointed to that office, which action was attt-nded with advantage- 
ous results.

OHIO RIVER PACKETS- 

The various lines of packets, operating on the Ohio river during 
the war, rendered important service to the State and National Gov- 
eniraents, of a similar character to those performed by our rail- 
roads. Their promptness in seconding t!ie efforts of the authori- 
ties, and the liberality and general efficiency of their management, 
contributed largely to the success of military operations. 

Guerrilla bands which infested the Kentucky shore, and larger 
bodies of rebel troops, occasionally operating in that State, ren- 
dcn-ed river navigation exceedingly hazardous, and steamers were 
often exposed to imminent danger of capture. The risks of person 
and property, were met with such courage and business energy as 
entitled the owners and officers of the packet lines to honorable men- 
tion among the agencies employed in the prosecution of the war. 

Steamers were frequently chartered for sending relief — sanitarv 
supplies, surgeons and nurses — to battle-fields and to hospitals at 
various points on the Ohio, Tennessee, Cumbedand, and Missis- 
sippi rivers, and for bringing home the sick and wounded, of which 
more particular mention is made in another part of tiiis report. 
These steamers rendered invaluable service; their officers were 
prompt, brave and humane, and deserve the thanks of the country 
for their hazards and exertions in the cause of patriotism and hu- 
manity.

THE TELEGRAPH. 

One of the most important, iiiclt-ed one of tiie indispensible, in- 
struments in carrying on the war was the telegraph. On many 
occat?ions it was relied on almost entirely as the means of conimu- 
nication, and at all times during the war it was used perhaps to 
an equal extent with the mails. To the superintendents, managers 
and operators in Indiana, and especially those on duty at Indian- 
apolis, the thanks of the Governor and his military staff are espe- 
cially duo for their unifoiin courtesy and efficiency. Joun F. Wal- 
MOK, Es(j., Manager, and CnMu.Es C WniTNEV, Esq., Chief Ope- 
rator at Indianapolis, deserve particular mention for their faithful 
and able services in the line of their profession, and it is a pleasure 
to know that the Company so well represented by them has mani- 
fested its appreciation of their labors by promoting each to a high- 
er position in the telegraph service. 

The I'ollowing statistics convey but an imperfect idea of the bus- 
iness transacted "over the wires" by the Executive and Military 
Departments of the State during the war:

of these indispensible sui:)p!ies would be stringently prohibited. 
In April and May, 1861, the contraband trade was extensivi-ly 
carried on between Kentucky and the States further South, and 
the commercial cities of the Noith. Provisions, in immense quan- 
tities, were shipped by steamers plying on the Ohio, Mississippi, 
Cumberland and Tennessee rivers, and by the J^ouisville and 
Nashville Railroad. All descriptions of goods required bv the 
rebels to equip and maintain their forces, including arms, ammuni- 
tion and medicines, were purchased and sent South in large amounts. 
Our Government for some time paid but little attention to these 
matters; indeed, until military posts were established on the Jim- 
between tlie two hostile forces then; were but few barriers against 
the free transmission to the south of every kind of wc;/c;m7 required 
in fitting out troops. 

The Government I'or several months did not interfere with the 
active secession movements going on in Kentucky, but seemed to 
be fearful to take action in any way unless the fragile thread by 
which that State hung to the Union might be sundered. The lu-r- 
esy of "armed neutrality" was pressed upon the authorities at 
Washington witli energetic pertinacity by prominent and patriotic, 
though misguided, Kentuckians, as well as by those who had de- 
termined to follow the fortunes of the new " Confederacy," who 
were well able to see that no policy on the part of our Government 
would so w<dl favor the rebel cause in Kentucky as the one pro- 
posed. General McClellex, then in command of the Federal 
ibrees in the West, actually agreed with General Bucknkr, com- 
manding the Kentucky State Guard — who headed the rebel move- 
ment and was intriguing to secure the vantage ground and carry 
the State over to the side of the rebellion — that the "neutrality'' 
of Kentucky would be observed by the military authorities of the 
United States, so long as Kentucky actually remained neutral to- 
wards the Southern States. Thus the way of the contraband trad<> 
was left open and unobstructed. The railroads terminating on the

Ohio river, at Cincinnati, Madison, Jenersonville, New Albany, 
Evansvillc and Cairo, and tlie river itself, were the channels used 
for this illicit traffic. 

The citizens of the State at various points soon discovered the 
nature and extent of this business, and in the absence of other 
measures to supjiress it, frequently took the responsibility to stop 
goods that were clearly intended for the Southern army, and con- 
traband of war. The surveyors of the several ports on the river 
also exerted themselves in the same direction, and n:iade many im- 
portant seizures ; yet it is now well known that the check thus 
given to the contraband trade was so insignificant it really inter- 
fered but slightly with the extensive and enterprising operations of 
the rebels. 

About the first of May a Committee of Vigilance was organ- 
ized by citizens at Indianapolis to inspect the contents of the vari- 
ous trains passing southward through that city, and to detain any 
supplies of a contraband character, until due and proper investiga- 
tion as to the destination of the same could be had. Governor 
Morton also — through the military olHcers engaged in raising troops 
at various points, and with the aid of two dt^tectives appointed by 
him and stationed at Indianapolis — did much to defeat the plans 
of the enemy and break up the transmission of munitions of war 
and other supplies destined for the use of the rebel army. Upon 
his suggestion an Agent of the Treasury Department was ai)j)oint- 
ed and placed on duty at Indianapolis, with authority to seize and 
detain all contraband articles en route to the Southern States. 
Seizures were made almost daily. Large quantities of muskets, 
cartridges, percussion caps, provisions, &c., were stopped and turned 
over to the proper authorities to be held subject to the order of the 
Government. At Vincennos, Evansvillc and New Albany, several 
lots of pistols, swords, materials for trimming officers uniforms, and 
other military goods, were captured. Shippers and otiieers of rail- 
roads soon grew cautious, and became afraid of the consequences 
of participating in this unlawful business. The southern trade was 
tempting, and if left unobstructed would have been the soiu'ce of 
great profits, but "confiscation" being adopted as the remedy to 
suppress it, it could be carried en only surreptitiously and at great 
risk. 



CAN Wfi "TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES?" 403 

MILITARY EDUCATION IN COLLEGES AND 
SCHOOLS. 

In a communication submitted to t!ie Legi.-hiiurc in extra ses- 
sion, November, 1865, I had the honor to urge the imjiortance of 
introducing into the institutions of learning throughout the State, 
a comve of military instruction for young men, and suggested that 
the beneficial iniiuences of military training must be apparent, in- 
culcating as it does superior habits of discii)line, respect for civil 
and military authority, and insuring a higher degree of physical 
and mental energy than is attainable through t!ie usual course pur- 
sued at our schools. 

This subject i-< so worthy of public consideration, that I venture 
to allude to it again. 

The problem of maintaining our republican form of government 
has thus far been favorably solved; the Revolution, the war of 1812, 
the Great Rebellion, — to say nothing of intervening wars of less 
importance, — have demonstrated our present ability "to take care 
of ()urselv(>s;" but there are considerations of greater magnitude 
in the unknown fvitnre, judging from the past, whicii impel us to 
ask if prudent forethought and ultimate safety do not require some 
greater preparation for the perpetuation of our liberties than the 
mere self-relir.nt principle, the "trust-to-luck" policy, so long re- 
garded as sufficient to protect and preserve the grandest govcrn- 
ment^-l fabric of the world's history, which will give direction and 
piai'tically apply the real elements of strength possessed by us to a 
degree not surpassed, if equalled, b}?- any nation on the globe? 

Our jurisdiction nov/ extends, with the prospect at no distant day 
o[ further expansion, from the icy-bound regions of the far north 
to the tropics; from ocean to ocean; embracing a pciople as vola- 
tile and as various in feeling, as diverse in habits and character, as 
any other on earth; our relations, fraternally and commercially, 
reaching to the ultimate limits of civilization. To-day we are 
at peace, but. so intricate and manifold are our relations, interests 
and intercourse with other countries, so dependent upon human 
judgment and action, who can say what day or hour we may not 
be involved in difficulties that will again place in jeopardy the Na- 
tion's life? The great powers, the despotisms of the old world, 
look with a jealous eye upon the gigantic strides, the rapidly in- 
creasing strength of the United States, and in the event of any

momentous trouble, arising, would not JYiil to combine against thc 
republican idea of free government, to the end tirat it may be 
])lotted on.t and written down in history — a FAiLUur,. The experi- 
ence of the last eiglit years; the precious blood and immense trea- 
sure expended in suppressing a rebellion of our people, presents a 
lesson that ought not to be lost upon tlie legislative department of 
our government. History teaches that ^'-abiding' peace can be en- 
joyed only at the price of continued preparation for vjar^ To per- 
petuate the blessings of liberty, to insure them to ourselves and our 
posterity, the Great God of Heaven has i)ut within our reach cer- 
tain means, which, if properly directed, cannot fail to |)lace us be- 
yond the danger of destruction or overthrov.'. The strength of all 
jjureiy republican governments for defense must ever be in the vol- 
unteer militia. Any other system of protection, exeejit in the ex- 
treme hour of peril, is repugnant to republican ideas. This fact 
requires no elaboration; conscription, under recent laws, need only 
be cited as j)rool". Tiie great c[uestion then is, how can the people — 
the reliant element from whence our armies are drawn in tlie dire 
extremity of war, — be best qualified for tiiis imj)ortant duty? The 
answer is, by the adoption of a general system of Military Educa- 
tion in the institutions of learning in all the States and Territories 
of the Union. 

On this point. I take the liberty of making free quotations from 
a report recently submitted to the War Jjepartment by Major J. 
II. WniTTLESEY, United States Army, wlio was directed by the 
War Department in April, 1867, " to proceed to West Point, New 
York, and to such of the principal colleges of the United States as 
will enable him, alter consultation with the college authorities, to 
report a method of introducing a suitable system of military in- 
struction into such of the colleges of the United States as shall 
desire it." 

In pursuance of these instructions, Major Whittlksey submit- 
ted an able and elaborate report to the War Department on the 
15th of October, 1S67. The following extracts are commended to 
candid attention: 

'' The march of general scienoe long ,"ince elevated the arts of national de- 
fense from the sphere of jnvsdc to the doraaui of 7nind. While rare genius 
will sometimes supply in part, even in the art of war, the results of the pa- 
tient preparations of study, yet nations can not, without fatuity, entrust their 
destinies to the vague chances of such miracles. Military knowledge forma 
no except! >n to the general laws of man's nature, mental and physical. Its 



DONATION OF LANDS IN AED OF MILITARY INSTRUCTION. 405 

foundations must be laid in youth, and the /Vw. who are to teach and lead the, 
raani/, must learn more than the mere rudiments, which, in their practical ap- 
plication, may suffice for such us have only special and subordinate parts to fil!« 
Instructors in military matters must be men who, by their general attain- 
ments and standing in society, can command the respect and confidence of 
the masses who are to profit by their occasional teachings. 

" Hence the necessity for special military/ sc/ioo's, or their equivalent in niil- 
llari/ i/cj)iaiinei>U- added to existing colleges, for the instruction of a portion of the 
youth (if ilie eounlrV; of suitable age and preparation, in military science and 
piactice. The so-called learned professions Lave long had their special 
schools — agriculture and the mechanic arts have recently received like fa- 
cilities through the wise bounty of the National Government — while the arts 
and sciences which pertain to the grave interests of national defense are as 
yet confined to a single seat. 

"Patriotism, valor and self-devotion are qualities inherent in our race and 
general among our people, Nothing is wanting to our prospect of national 
security but proficiency in military knowledge on the part of sufficient num- 
bers among the educated class:'s of the country, pur.-uing in times of peace 
the avocations of peace, to direct and apply these priceless elements in the 
hour of need. Only by the continuous supply of this deficiency, through effi- 
cient agencies set on foot an^l miintiined by the National Government, upon 
which rests the constiiutional obligation to provide for thf. comri'On defense^ can 
jeopardy of national safety and honor, and needless waste of blood and 
treasure be then avoided. T!ie necessity for governmental action in this 
matter is the more ui'gent from the natural tendency of a busy people to 
utter neglect of military habits during the halcyon days of peace. We are 
rapidly losing as a nation even that personal knowledge of the use of fire- 
arms, which was formerly universal through the temptations presented by 
field sports and from tiie necessities of irontier life; a deficiency which will 
increase as population thickens, 

"The first awakening in Congress to the importance of the subject of mili- 
tai'y education appears in the act of 18G2, donating lands to States for the 
endowment of colleges for the agricultural sciences and the mechanic arts, in 
which act, instruction in n,ilitaru tactics is presciibed as one of the conditions 
of the granc. 

'■ In the session of 18GG, expression was again given to the opinion begin- 
ning to be generally entertained of the importance of the subject, by the en- 
actment of the twenty-sixth section oi the Army Bill of that year, providing 
for the detail of a limited number of officers of the army at colleges for the 
purpose as expressed in the act, of j>romoti»g a knowledge of 'niiliktrij science 
atnong the young men of the United Slates. In this provision the germ of a na" 
tional system of military education was plainly visble, and discussions fol- 
lowed under the auspices of the General-in-Chief, with regard to the proper 
method of inaugurating it. But the impracticibility of establishing a synr 
metrical and comprehensive system upon so narrow a foundation soon be- 
came apparent. It was perceived that nothing worthy of tlie interests in- 
volveii could be eftected without further legislation. To prepare the way for 



406 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

such action, the study of the subject, presenting a multiplicity of delicate 
and complex features, was continued, and every effort made to give practical 
embodiment to those pregnant expressions of the ideas of the people upon 
the necessities of the epoch. 

"A plan was sketched embracing most of the principles and many of the 
details which seemed essential to such a system, and subjected to criticism 
and amendment by eminent collegiate authority. The plan, thus partially 
matured, was received with much favor as an effort in the right direction by 
many distinguished gentlemen of high position and influence in the councils 
of the nation, to whose notice it was brought. But time failed at the V)usy 
close of the last regular session of Congress to place the subject before it for 
a legislative verdict upon the merits of the scheme. 

" It seemed best then to utilize the period which must necessarily elapse 
before the plan could again be brought to the attention of Congress, in per' 
fecting more thoroughly its details, by subjecting them to enlarged academic 
and general criticism. To this end, and under the authority quoted in the 
introduction to this report, the undersigned visited the Militaiy Academy at 
West Point and several of the most distingui^^hed and venerable of the col- 
leges of the United States. Full and free consultations were held with their 
authorities, and by the lights thus obtained, the plan was carried to a state 
of more perfect maturity. In the form it then assumed, it again received 
consideration and amendment from the General-in-Chief 

" With a view to a still more extended range of criiicism, suflicient to test 
all the interests involved, in every section of the country, and to additional 
amendments of detail if found necessary, the plan thus m.atured, wil-ii perti- 
nent explanations of its principles, was communicated to all the colleges of 
the United States through the medium of a printed circular. The statement 
of the plan thus sent abroad has been everywhere received with the warmest 
interest by colleges, and the criticisms invited have been fully and freely 
given by tlie authorities of all having any to offer. 

" The digested results of all these studies, consultations and criticisms, have 
been embodied in the draft of a law, which constitutes the plan of a naUoval 
system of military eduoition, herein presented for consideration. 

"It is a traditional principle of our public policy, handed down from the 
patriots and sages of the Revolution, and confirmed by all subsequent expe- 
rience, that our .-'ystem of national defense must comprise a small standing 
army as the nucleus of formation for the vast body of owv nafinnal niilitia, which, 
by its active patriotism and imposing numbers, must form our chief reliance 
in war. Our system of national military education should therefore keep in 
view and provide for the two-fold &/>Jcct of supplying educated officers for our 
necessary permanent establishment, and of scattering among the people an 
adequate number of proficients in military knowledge to meet the demand-> 
of our militia for instruction in peace and for leadership in war.

one of the colleges (universities or institutes) of any State of the Union, and 
of that one additional college for every additional million of inhabitant.s after 
the first million in any State, which may be designated by the legislature 
thereof, and provided that the colleges so designated have a capacity sufficient 
to educate at one time, in a complete course of liberal studies, not less than 
one hundred male students, and college grounds suitable for military exer- 
cises, to order tlie detail, from time to time, of one competent officer of the 
army to act as Military Professor, and of one competent Lieutenant of the 
army, for periods of two years, to act as Military Assistant, in every such 
college, and that he may prescribe the course of military studies and military 
exercises to be taught by said officers, as the condition which shall entitle 
said colleges to the p ivileges hereinafter piovided, and may establish general 
regulations for the government of the officers so detailed, but without in- 
fringement of the rights of self government of said colleges.

established a course of instruction in military studies and in military exer- 
cises under the foregoing section of this act, it shall be lawful to issue gra- 
tuitously to the students thereof such text books as may be necessary for the 
presciibed course of military instruction whenever Congress shall have ap- 
propriated money for the purchase of them, and to furnish from the national 
arsenals and storehouses such ordnance an<l ordnance stores and such camp 
and garrisoa equipage as miy b'^. necessary for the prescribed instruction in 
military exercises, and the President may direct the detail of one ordnance 
sergeant, and the enlistment of two competent musicians, to be styled col- 
lege musicians, and to have the pay and allowances of principal musicians of 
regiments, for appropriate duties at every such college. 

"Sec. 3. And he it further cvactcd. That the faculty of arts of every college 
which shall have introduced into its plan of instruction a course of military 
studies and military exercises in accordance with the foregoing sections of 
this act, shall be authorized and empowered to recommend to the President 
of the United States, on or before the thirtieth day of June of each year, a 
list of graduates of such college, of the class of that year, as nearly as prac- 
ticable in the proportion of one to every ten of such graduates, distinguished 
for general proficiency in the collegiate course, special attainments in military 
science and skill in military exercises, of good moral character and of sound 
health ; that the names of the distinguished graduates so recommended shall

when actual vacancies shall still exist in the army in the grade of Second 
Lieutenant after said assiiinments and appointments, all such vacancies shall 
be filled, as far as practicable, from the lists ot distinguished graduates of 
colleges recommended as herein provided ; regard being had in all such ap-

tinued study and improvement among officers of the army, and of securing 
and rewarding the exercise of special talent and zeal in the cause of military 
education by officers detailed at colleges under the provisions of this act, they 
shall have by virtue of such detail and while so employed, temporary rank 
and the cavalry pay and emoluments thereof, as follows, viz : a military pro- 
fessor of more than twenty years' service in the army, the rank of Lit'uten-

"I'liOSPECTIVE AnvANT.^(;i-:s. 

"The many benefits'and advantages which may rea.sonably be expected to 
result from the pioposed plan, present themselves to consideration under a 
three-folV, aspect — in their relation to students, to collefjes, and to the cnuntri/ 
at large. 

" There is no charxcteristic of our age and nation more to be deplored than 
the decline of that passion for athletic exercises which maintained the high 
physical development of our ancestral races, and contributed so largely to 
their pre-eaiinence in their native seats. This palpable symptom of physical 
<legeneracy in our people may well arrest for a moment the attention of the 
statesman. It is a grave evil, for which neither the highest developments o 



PHYSICAL CULTURE CONSIDERED. 400 

intellectual culture nor the most rapid advances in material progress can fully 
atone. The history of every ruling race, whicii from time to time has arisen 
among its fellows to dazzle the world by the splendor of its achievmonts, is 
the same; its rise to power and glory has been the result of pre-(>minent 
/;/)V5?atif endowments, and its decline has begun with the causes which havo 
induced their deterioration. The members of our learned professions, our 
votaries of science, and our men of letters, are to a large extent a race of 
dyspeptic.s, whose vigor, happiness, and usefulness, have been impaired by a 
vicious system of education, which, during the critical period of life com- 
prised in collegiate years, in training the mind, has ignored the requirements 
of physical culture for the body. This glaring defect of our academic system 
has of late years excited attention, and attempts to remedy the evil have 
been made with more or less success, by the encouragement of manly sports, 
the introduction of gymnastic exercises, or by providing facilities for manual 
labor. 

" But there is no system of physical culture so efficient for good in this 
regard, as regular daily practice in martial exercises in all their wide variety. 
Tht\-e being made oU!(/a/or>/ as part of the college curriculum, and the means 
being provided for continuing them regularly, even during inclement 
weather, every student vvill be insured against the corroding infiuenci'S of 
physical inaction, and will secure for himself the ' erect carriage — the firm, 
graceful, manly bearing — the expansion of chest — the harmonious action of 
every limb and muscle — in fine, that perfect physical development wit'iout 
which mental vigor in its highest type can never be long maintained." These 
are advantages palpable to the senses, and which can not fail to be fully appre- 
ciated by all classes and conditions of men, 

" Besides such personal advantages of a physical character to be derived 
from martial tr lining, every graduate of a college whicli shall have received 
the military endowment will reap a rich reward in after life for his attention 
to its courses of instruction, in the enhanced social position and general 
respect, which knowledge of matters so useful and so captivating to the pop- 
ular imagination can not fail to insure. No people are fonder than our own 
of tbe pageantries of martial display, or more covetous even in peace of the 
dignity conferred by military titles — while none have a higher a[)preciation 
of military distinction actually won in the service of the country. It will be 
remembered by all, that at the outbreak of our recent civil war, so gr^at was 
the estimate set upon military knowledge by the people, the mere fact of hav- 
ing seroed an enlistment in the Army, was often sufficient, without other adrquat.- 
'/ualificatmi.'!, to secure the command of companies, and even higher rank in 
our volunteer forces. 

" The military instruction will exert upon the bearing and habits of students 
an eflBcient influence for good, by the inculcation of principles of delicate 
courtesy in social intercourse, respectful deference to authority, manliness of 
thought and of action, habits of jsunctuality and precision, and that sj)irit of 
true honor which has caused the gradutes of West Point to be everywhere 
regarded as the most incorruptible of public servants. These results may 
reasonably be expected to flow from the personal and official intluenco of 
officers of the army selected for this work, who, by their education, manners) 



410 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

and position, will command the respect and win the regard of the youth who 
come wiihin its sphere. 

"The ('ilect of such influences upon the general discipline of colleges must 
be in the highest degree favorahle, even though military subordination be en- 
ibrcod by no other sanctions than those of collegiate authority. The testi- 
oiony of every college where military discipline in such modified form has 
been uiready tested, is the same, and affords ample warrant for confidence in 
its valuo, and in its sufiiciency for the purposes to be accomplished."

'• Our standing army is but the nucleus of a national force, necessarily main- 
tained ibr the police duties of our frontiers, and to meet the first prelimi- 
nary shock of internal violence or of foreign aggression. Our real, solid 
means of national defense lie in the national militia, as our fathers believed 
and tauizht us, whether called by that name or by the more modern designa- 
tion of coluiiicer.'^. All plans for the continuous organization and efficient in. 
struction of this vast national force, have, in times past, sunk before the 
potent breath of ridicule justly due to universal ignorance of the arts of war 
among our people. The system we have developed will remedy this great 
ovil. It will place among the educated classes, in every himlet in the land, 
jnoficionts in militiwy science and experts in martial exercises whose attain- 
ments will command respect. It will supply, at all times and in all places, 
compiHcnt oflEicers for our national militia, and will give character and dignity 
to any militia system which may already exi«t under State authority, or 
wliii-h may hereafter be established by the General Government. It will at 
the same time obviate, to some extent, the dangeis v,-hich might again re- 
sult IVvim coiUimied neglect of the organization and instruction of tliis chief 
means of national defense. * -Jf -x- * -^f ■» * 

"While interests so vast and benefits so varied are under review, extending 
in prori})ect to the remotest future of a nation founded ui>on principles which 
the world in ages past has never known, it seems pJmost petty to descend, 
even in argument, to considerations of mere pecuniary economy. But in 
this respect, as well as in every other, the system proposed will be found to 
maintain its claims to superior excellence. All the advantages which may 
(low from it will bo attained, as may be perceived without special details, at 
an expvnse to the nation comparatively insignificant, which will be more 
than rejiaid by colleges, as a niatier of mere business, in their supply of edu- 
cated officers to the regular army, without mention of the broader and 
more important influences of the system upon the character and efiiciency 
of the national militia. The annual cost of the system, inclusive of our ex- 
isting Military Academy, will not equal that of a single regiment of cavalry, 
or two of infantry ; while its inaiguration would warrant our Government in 
dispensing with many regiments from its permanent establishment which 
would otherwise be essential to perfect national security. The entire cosi of 
the system for a whole generation would be reimbursed by the superior 
economy of a single campaign in time of war, to say naught of economy fj Hfe^ 
secuntij of honor, and assurance of success." 



MILITARY EDUCATION IN INDIANA. 411 

Major Whittlesey concludes his interesting report as follows: 
" A comparison of the system herein presented, with the complicated, ex- 
pensive and impertecl system of military education established in every 
nation of Europe, will show its vast superiority over them all — in its com- 
pleto tidaptation to the objects in view — in the high grade and variety of at- 
tainments, which, through its operation, will become the proud characteristic 
of tlie officers of our armies, mi/ilia as well as rer/ular- — in its simplicity, econ- 
omy and perfect na'.ionalily. 

"It i-! a system whicli, if established, must take deep root in the alTections 
of our people, engrafted, as it v;ill be upon existing and time honored educa- 
tional foundations, and presenting to the whole body of our youth opportu-

" The obvious utility of the measure, and its wide-sj^rcad ])opu- 
larity, will doubtless commend for the system in luture, whatever 
national assistance may be necessary to perfect it. 

" ']"he above u'ill indicate the direction to give to any eilorts yon

tion of our Senators and Represent;itives in Congress."' 

On The Olh of October, 1868, a special order wns issued by coju- 
mand of General Gran'i', in accordance wilh section 26 of the act 
of Congress, approved Jnly 28th, 1866, iletailing Major General 
Eli Long, United States Army, as I^-ofessorof Military Science, at 
llie Indiana University, at Blotnnington. General Lonct enteied 
upon his duties soon afierward, tiiough not in time to have 
a course of military instruction adoj^ted by the Board of Trustees 
for the present collegiate year. Tiie leading features of the course, 
as proposed by General Long, (sabject to such additions or modi- 
iieations as the Trustees may lier(nifter decide U|jon,) comprise: 

First — Theoreiwal Itistniclkin in military science, (optional with 
the students, with tiie nm^lersianding that jifier they ha\e once en- 
tered the military class thf^y cannot be excused trt)m it, except by 
the Fiiculty ibr good cause shown.) To those of liu" .Juniors aiid 
Scientific Juniors, and to th.ose Irregulars, in a corresjiondlng slate 
of advancement in their studies to the former, who wish it, instruc- 
tion will be given in Inianlry taciies. To those of the Seniors, 
Scientific Seniors and Irregulais, in a state of advancement in their 
studies corres])onding to the Seniors, the course proposed will in- 
clude the following branches: Infantry Tactics, (Upton;) Out- 
post Duty, (Mahan;) Military Organization and Field Fortifica- 
tions, (Mahan;) The Art of War, (text book not yet selected;) 
Military Law, (Ben ret,) and such parts of the Army Regulations 
as are most requisite to be known. Owing to the late day of 
General Lonct's assignment to duty, and the delay in getting som<' 
of the text books, it may be possible, though not probable, that the 
entire course of theoretical instruction cannot be completed by the 
Istof July, 1869. 

Second — Practical out-door instruction to all students desiring it, 
(vi^ith the same rule as to abandoning it after commencing, as in 
the case of theoretical instruction.) for at least one hour per day in

(>\perimenr now being made at the University, of combining a sys- 
lem of military instniciion wiih tiie regular collegiate course, will 
prove successful and n-eeive the favorable judgment of the peojde 
of the State. With the assistance of the General (Government. 
proj)0-ed by General (iaufikld's bill, with such additional aid as 
the Legislature might then be induced to give for the purpose of 
l)uilding barracks and (juarters for the students, the University 
would add larg(dy to its already renowned reputation, and rank 
with the first instituti(.)n:-s of the country. 



INDIANA STATE ARSENAL. 

HuW IT OKKi I NAT El). 

It is well known that in April, IStil, the General Government 
was unable to supply, without the delay required to manufacture, 
(.'ither arms, aumirmition or clothing, suHicient for even the small 
army of seventy-five thousand men tlicn called into service. The 
several loyal States were therefore compelled to equip their own 
troops, and many of them indeed fur^iished their own arms, as did 
ours. The Eleventh regimciit was first armed, the arms being 
those heretofore drawn on the Slates' distributive quota under act 
oi' Congress. The next thing was to supply it with ammunition, 
so that it might be iully prepared to go to the field. The Govern- 
ment could scarcely supply the trooj)s raised in States cast of us, 
which, of course, being nearest the public arsenals, were supplied 
first. Governor Moirrox attempted to overcome the difiiculty, 
temj)orariiy, by undi'rtaking \\\c fd)rication of enough for the threi^ 
months regiments; but it. was not expected, or even thought of, 
that the business would be long continued. Captain Hkr.max 
Sturm, who had a thorough knowledge of the business, from ex- 
perience and study in Europe, was engaged to conduct the opera- 



414 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

tions at Indianapolis. The materials were furnishecl by the Quar- 
terniuster General; the labor required was supplied by a detail of 
volunteers from the Eleventh Indiana, and on the afternoon of the 
27th of April the work was begun. The facilities were a few hand- 
bullet moulds, the forge of a small blaelcsmitli sliop for casting, and 
a room adjoining for putting up the cartridges. The experiment 
may be said to have been successful, for, tliough the cost was much 
greater than at a later perioJ, when the esrabiishra;Mit was run on 
an extensive sca.le, and the materials used were bought in large 
quantities at wholesale rates, the aum^vmition was of the best qual- 
ity, and our troops were thus enabled to march into ^Vcstern Vir- 
ginia with full cartridge boxes and an abundant surplus. 

ITS CflXTIXUANCE. 

The scarcity of ammunition in the country did not seem to di- 
minish, Vv-iiile calls for it for border defense and the u.-e of our new 
regiments, made it imperatively necessary, in the judgment of the 
Governor, that the Arsenal shoulil for a time be continued. He 
therefore, about the first of June, onh'red the erection of cheap and 
temporary buildings, consi-iing of a small brick foundry, two car- 
tridge shops, and some other structur(>s of padding, storage, &c. 
Salet'-, economy and convenience were thereby secured to a much 
greater extent than could be expec^ted in rcnteij tenements nor spe- 
cially adapted to the purpose. About one hundri'd females were 
at fust employed in the cartridg;.' siiop-^, their labor being cheapest 
and hf':<t atlapted to the lighter work. In tlie f<.)andrv and [)aciving 
shops some iifry men were employed in casting bullets, filling and 
packing cartridges, and other work. As rhe demands Jbr ammuni- 
tion increased, the force was augmented, — as many as tlnee, five 
and seven hundred persons, during the continuance of the Ar- 
senal, being employed at one time. The ammunition was in great 
favor with all the troops who used it, and the price at Vvhich it was 
fiTrn shed, being net cost to the State, was said to be from thirty 
to fifty per cent, less than the Government v^^as compelled to pay 
to private manufacturers on contract. Notwithstanding there was 
no law expressly authorizing the establishment of a State Arsenal, 
yet, as its origin and continuance was an indispensable military 
necessity, the Governor felt justified in assuming the responsibility 
until that n(?cessity should be m?t by the United States furnishing 
the ammunition required. 



A FAVORABLE REPORT. 415 

Up to the month of October, 1861, when two hnnclrecl and I'lfiy 
hands were employed, no arrangement had been made with the 
United States in reference to the Arsenal, or the ammuniiion 
issued from it to troops. The State had thus far paid all expenses, 
but so great were the denjands upon the State Treasury for funds 
to meet military claims of various kinds, it was thought advisable 
to make an etlbrt to get the General Government to assume the 
expenses of the arsenal, and thereby relieve the State from gnat re- 
sponsibility and embarrassment. The Governor made the |)rof)0- 
sition to the War Department, suggesting tliat the public demands 
would not admit of the discontinuance of the arsenal at that tiuie? 
and. in consideration of the depleted condition of the State Treas- 
ury and the extraordinary outlays that had been made in armine, 
clothing and equipping our large force of volunteers, it was but 
right and reasonable that the manufacture of ammunition at tliis 
point should be continued at the expense of the United States. 
The geographical location of Indianapolis, and its close relation to 
the great armies operating in the West and South, made it a most 
favorable point from which ammunition could be supplied to the 
troops without the delays incident to its shipment from the Etsst. 

In October, 1861, General Cameron, Secretary of War, and (gen- 
eral Thomas, Adjutant General of the Army, visited the arsenal 
and after careful investigation, and having fuily learned how etlec- 
tivc it had been, and how useful it could be made, advised and re- 
quested the Governor to continue it, with the understanding that 
the ammunition already issued should be paid for by the United 
States, and agreeing that some arrangement should be made for 
compensating the State for future issues. General Thomas, i[i his 
re|)ort of this visit, asserted that "the ammunition was equal to that 
manulactured anywhere else," and suggested "that an ollicer of 
Ordnance be sent to Indianapolis to inspect the arsenal, and ascer- 
tain the amount expended in the manufacture of ammunition, with 
the view of reimbursing the State." Accordingly, in December, 
Captain Crispin, of the Ordnance corps, visited the arsenal. He 
expressed himself highly pleased with the manner in which it had 
been ccmducted, and that the ammunition was equnl to any made. 
His report, submitted to his chief. General Ripley, was highly com- 
plimentary, but he was of opinion that the army in the West could 
be supplied without recourse to State establisliments. G.-neral 
Ripley was emphatically opposed to the continuance of the arsenal 



416 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 1 

and reported against it, as follows: "On consideratioii of the sub- 
ject in all its branches, I do not deem it advisable to continue the 
preparation of ammunition for small arms, or for artillery, further 
than may be necessary to consume the materials which have already 
been i)rovided, at the arsenal at Jndianapolis, for that purpose- 
Such additional supplies, if any, as it may be necessary to have 
there, can be provided by timely requisitions on this office, from 
Alleghany, or some other U. S. Arsenal." This was on the oOfh of 
Deceml)er, 1861, and at that very moment it wms a well known 
fact the Government Arsenals could not fill one-half of the re- 
(pii-itions that were made, and large cpiantities, therefore, had to 
b(! purchased of private individuals at rates affording a handsome 
protit on cost of production, and much of it of poor quality. 

General Rh-i-ky belonged to the " fossiliferous period" of the old 
army, and beheld the innovations which Governor Morton and 
other '"live" State Executives wer(* making upon ancient depart- 
mental usages and prerogatives in raising and fitting out troops, with 
astonishment and disgust. Fortunately, General Ripley's author- 
ity did not extend very far, but he never lost an oppoitunity to em- 
barrass and delay all tjusiness that came before him relating to the 
Indiana Arsenal. Despite all his elibrts the establishment was 
continued, and, as will be shown, was eminently successful and of 
immense importance to the Government in the prosecution of the 
War. 

The temporary buildings being unsuited for winter work, the 
Superintendent was compelled to hunt more comfortable quarters, 
and in the latter part of 1861 succeeded in seeming a large, unoc- 
cupied furniture factory at low rental, and work was here contin- 
ued for more than a year alterward. The number of employees 
was greatly increased, and shot, shell, canister and signal lights 
w^ere added to the productions of the concern. 

In January, 1862, Captain Sturm was ordered to Washington, 
to make settlement with the Government for the ammunition 
issued up to that time. After proper examination of tlie account^ 
amounting to '1i;68,701.96, it was ordered by the Secretary of War 
to be p. I id. 

An arrangement was then made betw^een the Secretary of War, 
Hon. Robert Dale Owen, Agent for the State, and Captain Sturm, 
that all the ammunition issued at the Arsenal in the future to the 
United States, should be paid for quarterly, at the rates charged 



MATTERS DEFINITELY SETTLED. 417 

in the first account. In accordance with this iin(U'r.-tan(liiig, ;in 
account was lorwarth^l in April, for the lirst quarter of the year 
1862, but, notwith>taiiding the arrangement above referred to, it 
failed to receive the approval of General Ru'lky, Cliief of Ord- 
nance. That odicer decided, "that the law does not allow Ihc; es- 
tablishment of an United States Arsen;d in this manner, nor the 
purchase or issut; of ordnance stores without the authority of the 
Chief of Ordnance." The account was, therefore, referred back 
to the Secretary of War for further orders; and that officer referred 
the matter to the Ordnance Commission then sitting in Wash- 
ington. 

It ought to be stated just here, that General Riplev, on the 18th of 
October, 1861, in a letter to Governor INIoutox, made the following 
decision in reference to the |)ayment of the States' claim for amnmni- 
tion : "According to the Regulations, money can only be expended by 
the duly appointed agents of the Department. If, however, you 
will take the trouble to direct the State officer who has charge of 
the manufacture of small arm ammunition, at the Indiana State 
Arsenal, to make out his accounts for the expenditure and transmit 
them to this office, with a certificate that he holds the ammunition 
for the use of the United States, they will be paid at the Treasury.'" 
This indicated a favorable feeling, but when the !;ills were pre- 
sented the General could find neither "law" nor "regulation" au- 
thorizing him to approve them, even for the ammunition actually 
issued to troops in the service of the Government. 

The Ordnance Commission took up the case referred to them 
some time in June, 1862. Meantime, a second quarterly account 
had been presented and referred, for ammunition issued up to the 
first of that month. The Commission, after thorough scrutiny, 
decided* that tlie ammunition should be paid for at a rate that 
covered all costs and expenses of manufacture, and in accordance 
with this decision the amount due the State was inomptly paid 
into the State Treasury. 

To definitely settle matters in future it was agreed, by and be- 
tween the Secretary of War and the Governor, that the manufac- 
ture of ammunition should be continued as before — the bills tiicre- 
for to be presenled and paid monthly. It w^as further agi-ced that 
the Government should furnish pow'der, lead, percussion caps and

418 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

other supplies at current prices, the amount to be deducted from 
the accounts of the State on settlement. 

The economical management of the Arsenal, and the security of 
property as well as life, soon rendered it necessary to remove it 
outside of the city limits. Suitable buildings were erected on a 
convenient tract of leased ground al)orit a mile and a half distant 
ftom the capitol, where the business was continued until the 
Arsenal was finally closed. 

General Ripley, however, continue*! to he much dissatisfied, 
and, notwithstanding the action of the Ordnance Commission and 
the agreement entered into by the Go\ernor with the Secretary of 
War, determined that operations at the Arsenal should stop. His 
report, setting ftn'th his views on this subject, and recommending 
that no more ammunition be received from the State or supplies 
furnished, was submitted to the Secretary of War on the 24th of 
November, 1862, and concurred in by that officer. This determin- 
ation was as unexpected aa it was unjust. Relying upon the 
agreement that the Arsenal should be continued, new buildings 
had been erected, additional tools and machinery added, and the 
facilities for economically carrying on all the branches of the work 
greatly increased ; all which had been done at heavy expense, 
without as yet receiving any return for the outlay. At the same 
time every round of ammunition made was called for by trt)ops in 
the field, almost as soon as it was ready for issue. The Governor 
made an earnest protest to the Secretary of War against the pro- 
posed action, and through the efforts of Mr. Owen, succeeded in 
getting the decision revoked. But little trouble was experienced 
afterward on the score of General Riplev's objections. He was 
soon relieved from duty in the Ordnance office, and subsequent 
transactions under his successor, General Ramsay, met with but 
few interruptions or delays. 

COLONKL STURM. 

On the 17th of November, 18G2, Captain Sturm was promoted 
to the Lieutenant Colonelcy of the Fifty- Fourth Regiment, Indiana 
Volunteers, with the view of being detailed for ordnance duty at 
Indianapolis, but this being found to be impracticable he resigned 
on the 28th of the following December. He was, however, contin- 
ued as Superintendent of the Arsenal. 

In addition to his other duties, Colonel Sturm acted as Chief of 



LEGISLATION REQUIRED. 419 

Ordnance for the State, and as such officer had supervision of all 
issues of arms and other property belonging to the United States 
and placed in custody of the Governor for the use of \'"oIunteers ; 
also of issues of State arms to the Indiana Legion. The manage- 
ment of the Arsenal, the settlements and returns nnjuired for all 
orchiance property received and issued, and the general business of 
the Ordnance 0(Hce of the State, demanded a liigh order of ability 
great industry and indexible integrity. Colonel Stiikm displayed 
these qualities in a remarkable degree, and his etlbrts to carry out 
the plans and orders of the Governor were crowned, frotn the out- 
set, with the most complete and gratifying success. The service 
required at his hands was immense, involving heavy resonsibility, 
constant vigilance and unabating labor. Many trying and dis- 
couraging difficulties were encountered and overcome. Colonel 
Sturm possessed untiring energy and confident f)erseverence; he 
made the prosperity of the Arsenal a matter of personal pride, and 
it is but justice to say that he proved himself equal, and more than 
e(|ual, to every demand made upon him during the war. 

L E G I S L A T I X REQUIRED. 
From the state of the military funds under the control of the 
Governor and applicable to the procurement of munitions of war, 
and the responsibility incurred by him personally in conducting the 
business of the Arsenal, he desired to be relieved from the burden 
as soon as possible. He therefore submitted a special message to 
the (General Assembly on the 20th of February, 1863, in which, 
after giving a history of the enterprise and a statement of the profits 
realized up to that time, he said: 

"Employment has been furnished to many persons, sometimes to the 
number of five hundred, and great relief has resulted to many families, who 
would otherwise have been without the means of support. My instructions 
to Colonel Sturm were to give preference, in the employment of operatives, t© 
those whose parents, children or rehitives were in the army." 

Touching the continuance of the institution, he made the fol- 
lowing suggestions: 

" While the Arsenal has been of great service to the Government and the 
State, and by its demand for labor has afforded relief to many persons, it has 
been the source of much responsibility and anxiety. The operations have 
been large, and had they been unfortunate, would have subjected me to 
much censure at the hands of the public. It is not necessary that I should 
Ioniser take this responsibility, and I therefore refer the subject to the Legis. 
ature, with the suggestion, that if it be desired to continue the institutioa 



420 ADJ'UTANT CiENERAL'S REPORT. 

until the building3 foi' the Government Arsenal shall be completed (which 
will be from one to two years) that legal provision and sufficient appropria- 
tions be made therefor." 

INVESTIGATIONS. 

The management of the Arsenal, the books and vonehers and 
every transaetion connected with it, were made the subject of fre- 
quent and searching investigation by Legislative committees. The 
business was so large, and the interests of the State in its honest 
and economical administration so great, these inquiries were both 
reasonable and proper, and always met with the approbation of the 
Superintendent and the officers of State. Every facility was 
afforded and full information given the committees to enable them 
to make thorough examinations. The first of these committees, 
composed of members of both houses, was aj^nointed under a con- 
current resolution of the Legislature at the session of 1863. After 
careful and thorough investigation they unanimously reported that 
the arsenal had been safely, prudently and economically managed, 
and that its continuance was essential to the public service. At 
the same session a select committee, consisting of nine members 
of the House of Representatives, was appointed to make personal 
examination of the Ar.-enal and report its condition and such otiicr 
facts as they deemed important for the information of the Legis- 
lature and the people of the Stat;e. This Committee submitted 
the following report,* which was unanimously concurred in: 

•'The select committee, appointed for the purpose of making examination 
of the State Arsenal, and to report any facts they might deem necessary, con- 
nected therewith, have perforaied that duty, and submit the following report: 

'•The Committee visited the Arsenal, which is situate one and a-half miles 
east of the city. The buildings are mostly of a temporary character; sufK- ' 
ci<^nt, however, for the purpose, and built out of the profits of the institution, 
so that it pays no rent. At the time of the visit tliere were emjiloyed in 
one room about ninety females, and in another about forty, all employed in 
making ball cartridges and preparing caps. In another building the men 
were moulding bullets, preparing shells, round shot, <)ec. 

"The Committee were much gratified with the system and economy, an<l 
also the neatness and dispatch with which the business was conducted. 

" In reference to the operation of the Arsenal since its commencement, the 
Committee would refer to Captain Sturm's report, which contains a full ac- 
count of its past transactions and its present condition. 

" The Committee take pleasure in complimenting Captain Sturm upon the 
very satisfactory condition of his accounts, the readiness with which he has 
furnished us with every desired inlormation, and the zeal and energy he has 

s-Uou.sp .Journal, 18(ij, page 743. 



INVESTIGATION OF ARSENAL AFFAIRS 421 

shown in the enterprise, which are the chief qualities constituting a good 
otiicer. 

" It was the design of the Ccmmittee to recommend the Arsenal to be con- 
tinued under the patronage of the State, and a bill was firepared for that pur- 
pose, but subsequent events* have rendered it impossible take any further 
steps. 

"Since our visit the Arsenal has been compelled to suspend operations for 
a time, at least, greatly to the injury of many poor persons that depend on its 
patronage as a means of support. " 

A third comniittre was appointed by the Gcm'ral Assembly 
(March, 1863.) to investjo-ate the transactions connected with and 
growing our of tlie war loan of 1861, and all expenditures, (includ- 
ing the management of the Arsenal.) made through several militars' 
ofHccf? of the Stale. TIk; following extract froiri the reportf of 
this Committee shows the result of their labors so far as the saine 
related to the Arsenal: 

"The Committee spent much of its time in examining the transactions of 
the Arsenal. The organization of this institution was a necessity, growing out 
of the circumstances under which the State was placed at the beginning of 
the war. Many of the first regiments were ordered to the field wholly un- 
provided with the necessary annnunition. Xone could be readily furnished 
by the Government. Our soldiery had to be sent forward without the retjui- 
site ammunition, and run the hazard of getting it, or else it had to be pro- 
vided by the State. The Governor saw the urgent necessity, and promptly 
adopted a remedy. The manufacture of the required ordnarice scores was 
ordered, and Colonel IliCRM.iNX Sturm, who was thoroughly instructed in this 
branch of business, was appointed to superintend their manufacture. That 
which was at first intended as a temporary expedient lipened into a perman- 
ent establishment. Under the superintendence of Colonel Sturm the Arsenal 
was not only enabled to supply an existing necessity, but was made a source of 
profit to the State. It depended for its success upon its utilitj' and the econ- 
omy of its management. Subsequent to its establishment, and after large 
quantities had been sent to the field by it, an arrangeinent was made by 
which the General Government agreed to pay for the ammunition already 
issued by it at prices which were remunerative to the State. It was also pro- 
vided that the Arsenal should be continued, and that future supplies fur- 
nished should be paid for at the same rates. Up to the time of the investi- 
gation. Colonel Sturm had manufactured and turned over to the Government 
about ] 00,000 rounds of artillery ammunition, and nearly 30,000,000 rounds 
of ammunition for small arms. The ammunition was thoroughly tested by 
competent agents of the Government, and pronounced to be of superior qual- 
ity. Not only did the State thus meet a demand created by the exigency of 
the times, but it gave constant employment to from one to five hundred per- 
sons at good wages, the preference always being given to those whose rela-

tives and supporters were in the field. The Arsen il not only did not prove 
disastrous in a financial point of view, but turned out to be a source of profit. 
While it furnished stores of a superior quality, at prices below those usually 
paid, yet, by the judicious management of Colonel Sturm and the State au- 
thorities, on the 1st of May, 18G3, according to the estimate made by the 
Committee, it Ind realized a net profit of over i?60,(X)0. In every respect was 
the management of the Arsenal singularly successful. Its purchases were 
made judiciously, and everything was so thoroughly and perfectly systema- 
tized that it could not be else than a success. Large purchases having been 
made for the benefit of the Arsenal at New York, the Committee soon found 
that a thorough investigation could not be made without visiting that city 
The same was true as to the purchase of State arms — that business havinsi 
been almost wholly transacted in, New York. The sitting of the Committee 
was limited, by the resolution creating it, to forty days, and no ajipropriation 
hiving been ma le for expenses to New York, the Committee feared that 
they would have to suspend its action and leave the investigation incom- 
plete. The Governor learning this promptly tendered the Committee the 
means of defraying their expenses East, and insisted that it should continue 
in session until its duties had been performed thoroughly and completely. 
Not only did His Excellency propose to defray the expenses of the Commit- 
tee, but also to pay its per diem for any time it might necessarily be em- 
ployed beyond the forty days contemplated by the resokuinn. 

"The Commitee finding itself thus provided with means, proceeded to 
New York and continued its investigations in that city for some two weeks. 
Those who had furnished material for the Arsenal were examined as wit- 
nesses, touching the prices paid, and as to whether any bonus of any kind 
what ever had been paid or given Colonel Stuuii, or any other person in any 
wise connected with the State Government, to iniluence them in making 
purchases. The examination fully convinced the Committee that every 
transaction in this connection had been conduot'^d honorably and fairly ; 
that the prices paid for material were never above, and in many instances 
below, their market value. 

"We think the Governor was particularly fortunate in selecting Colonel 
Stitrm as Superintendent of the Arsenal. His thorough knowledge of the 
business, his capacity and energy as a man. and his honesty of purpose, in 
an eminent degi'ee qualified him for the place.'" 

It is proper to add that a majority of the Legislature as well as 
of the Committees, whose action has been above given, were politi- 
cally opposed to the State Administration then in power, and 
therefore the reports quoted cannot be charged with partiality or 
partizan bias. 

The accounts and vouchers for all expenditures had been, by di- 
rection of the Governor, submitted to the Military Auditing Com- 
mittee, and by them duly audited before payment. By the strict 
letter of the law this action was not authorized, but the Commit- 
tee, believing that the public service absolutely and imperatively

demanded the establij^hment and continuance of the Arsenal, was 
unwilling, by a strict and rigid rule of constrnction, to injure or 
embarrass military operations in any manner, and therefore deter- 
mined to examine ;ind audit tlu; claims.* 

In the fall of 1803, it was ascertained to be impracticable for the 
whole Committee to give that personal attention to the transac- 
tions of the xVrsenal, and to the investigation of the accounts, re- 
(juired by the magnitude of Ihc interests involved. The Governor, 
Quartermaster General and Adjutant General, were each requested 
by the C'onunittee to give their personal attention to the business, 
so that the correctness of the claims might be officially certified, 
(Colonel 8turm not being an officer of the U. S.) but neither of 
these genilemen could do so from the pressing nature of their pub- 
lic duties in their respective departments. The Committee, there- 
fore, determined to appoint on its own behalf, one of its members 
to supervise the current transactions of the concern. This duty 
devolved upon the Hon. Samuel H. Buskirk, who was required to 
give his personal and undivided attention to the business, and to 
certify, from his own knowledge, to the correctness of all claims 
j)resented for the action of the Committee. This arrangement was 
made with the assent of the Governor, and Mr. Buskirk discharged 
the duties of his position with zeal and fairhfulness and to the en- 
tire satisfaction of the remaining members of the Committee. 

CLOSE OF THE ARSENAL-PROFITS. 

The manufacture of amunition was continued with entire suc- 
cess until the 18th of April, 1864, when the necessity which caused 
the establishment of the Arsenal, nearly three years before, having 
in a great measure ceased to exist, the concern was closed, with 
the approbation of ihe Secretary of War. Upon final settlement 
it w'as ascertained, that the entire; transactions of the Arsenal 
amounted to §788.838.45, and that tlie State had realized a clear 
profit of $77,457.32, of which -^71,380.01 was in cash, and the 
i'emainder in tools retained and ammiuiition on hand for the use of 
State troops. " It was no part of the original plan that profits 
should result to the State from its opta-ations, and they sprung 
solely from the economical and skillful management, for which 
Colonel Stur.m is entitled to the chief credit.'' f The Military 
Auditing Committee had an excellent opportunity to judge of the

manner in which the business had been conducted, and in a report 
to the Governor, dated September loth, 18(33, said : 

" We can not close this report without bearing testimony to the ability, in- 
tegrity and economy with which Colonel Sturm has managed the aflhirs of 
the Arsenal. Ilis position has been a most difficult and responsible one, re- 
quiring constant and unremitting labor and great skill and perseverance. 
Fortunately for the State, he has siaown himself equal to every duty that has 
devolved upon him, and we congratulate you upon the great success which has 
attended his and your efforts, as well on account of the pecuniary advantage 
which lias resulted to the State from the operations of the Arsenal, as for the 
service it ha? been to the Government. In our judgment, the public service 
requires that the Arsenal should be continued." 

Again, in the final report of the committee, its previou.s good 
opinion of the Superintendent was contirnied by the following: 

" The committee takes pleasure in saying that nothing has occurred, since 
our report made to your Excellency, on the 15th September, 1S03, to weaken 
the confidence that we then felt and expressed in the ability, integrity and 
economy displayed by Colonel II. Stuum in tiie management of the Indiana 
Arsenal." 

Colonel Sturm was afterwards commissioned as Colonel in the 
Indiana Legion, aiKl assigned to duty as Chief of Ordnance, witli 
orders to collect in the State arms. Cn the 1st of January, 1866, 
he retired from service, and was compdimeiited by CTOvernor Mor- 
ton with an honorary commission in the Indiana Legion, confer- 
ring upon hiin the rank of Brigadier General. 



II\DIANAPOLIS (U. S.) ARSENAL. 

The success which attended th(^ establishment of the temporary 
arsenal by the State at Indianapolis, and the great benefits derived 
from it by the Government, led to the idea of establishing at sev- 
eral important points in the West permanent arsenals by th(! 
United States. Governor Morton, early in 1862, by personal in- 
terviews with the Secretary of War, and with our delegation in 
Congress, urged the importance and necessity of the proposed en- 
terprise, and insisted that, in case the arsenals should be authorized 
to be built, one of them should be located at Indianapolis. He 
was ably and effectively assisted in this preliminary movement 
by the Hon. Robebt Dale Owen, then agent for the State to |)ur- 
chase arms and munitions of war. The effort was successful and 



UNITED states' ARSENAL AT INDIANAPOLIS. 425 

resulted in the passage of an act* (approved July Jl, 1S()2,) wliiclj 
provided for the ereetion of National arsenals at Columbus, Oliio, 
Indianapolis, Indiana, and on Rock Island, Illinois, "for the deposit 
and repair of ariris and munitions of war,"f and appropriated one 
hundred thousand dollars for each of said arsenals. 

The United States soon after purchased a beautiful tract of tim- 
bered land, en-ibracing seventy-five acres, adjoining the city of In- 
dianapolis, for which the price of 835,500 was paid. At the ensu- 
ing session of the Legislature an act was passed ceding to the 
General Governtnent jurisdiction over the lands above mentioned, 
and their appurtenances, for the purposes of a National Arsenal, 
exempting the same from taxation, and reserving the right only to 
serve process thereon. 

Work was commenced on the Arsenal in 1863, under the direc- 
tion of T. J. Treadwell, Captain of Ordnance, U. S. A,, and was 
successfully prosecui;ed by him until February, 1864, when he was 
succeeded in command by Brevet Major James M. Whittemore, 
Captain of Ordnance, U. S. A. The principal buildings were 
erected tviainly luider Major Wuittemoue's supervision, wlio dis- 
pl'iyed great energy, ability and zeal in the discharge of his import- 
ant duties, and who continued in command until September 1866, 
when he was relieved at his own request by Brevet Lieutenant 
Colonel W. H. Harris, Captain of Ordnance, U. S. A., the present 
accomplished and faithful commanding officer. 

Although not yet fully completed, the grounds and buildings 
])resent a most beautiful and substantial appearance. The follow- 
ing dimensions of the buildings were kindly furnished by Colonel 
Harris : 

31aiu Store House, for the storage of arms, etc. — three stories 
high, 183 feet long, 63 feet wide. 

ArtiUcnj Store House, for the storage of artillery, etc. — two stor- 
ies, 201 feet long, 52 feet wide. 

Magazine, for the storage of powder and fixed ammunition — one; 
story, 50 feet long, 34 feet wide. 

Office — one story, 43 feet long, 22 feet wide. 

Commanding Officer^s Quarters — two and a half stories, 79 feet 
long, 40 feet wide.

PURCHASE OF ARMS AND WAR MATERIAL FOR 
THE STATE. 

WANT OF ARMS AT THE OUTBREAKING OF THE WAll. 

The deplorable condition of the military resources of the State 
at the commencement of the war, is described in another portion 
of this report. It remains to set forth here, more particularly, the 
i'lforts to supply Ihe want of arms, which was first and most se- 
verely felt. When the Legislature of 1861 met in regular session 
on 1he 10th of January, the apprehensions created by the disturbed 
condition of the South were too indefinite to impel the necessary 
Jiclion to pre|)are the State for hostilities, but, as the purpose of 
the seceding States changed or developed] from simple separation 
to aggression, the necessity of meeting such a contingency became 
apparent. The first steps were naturally directed to ascertaining 
the number and condition of the arms in the State, and the num- 
ber due from the General Government under the law regulating 
the distritiution of arms to the States. Of those in possession of 
the State, the greater portion had been distributed to various mili- 
tary organizations, and their condition was unknown; while a 
small number still remained in the hands of the State Quarter- 
master. To ascertain the number and condition of those distrib- 
uted to military companies, Governor Morton on the 2Sth of Jan- 
uary addressed a circular to the various County Auditors, instruct- 
ing them to report to him, as soon as the information could be ob- 
tained, "the number, quality and condition of all arms in their re- 
spective counties, belonging to the State, not in the hands of mil- 
iary companies meeting regularly for drill; where located, and un- 
der whose control; and to lurnish copies of all bonds given for the 
• safe keeping and return of arms, together with an accurate account 
of the sureties thereon, whether living, and if so, where residing and 
whether solvent." He also directed Mr. E. A. Davis, of Indiana- 



IIITNTING UP OLD STATE ARMS, 427 

polls, to inve;!tigatc the records of tlie Qnartennaster General, and 
to rcj)ort the nninhcv anci condition of the niilitary companies in 
the State, the quantity of arms distributed, their probable value, 
and the feasibility of obtijining indemnity for those lost or de- 
stroyed. 

Little or no information was v)btained from the County Audit- 
ors. Mr. Davis reported that there had been distributed by the 
State, altogether, as appeared from the State Quartermaster's show- 
ing about $200,000 worth of arms, of which he estimated 81o0,000 
worth was accessible -and serviceable. Of this quantity, $15,000 
worth, numbering 600 (estimating them at 625 each), were in the 
hands of fifteen conjoanies averaging forfy members each, main- 
training at least a nominal organizaiion. The remainder, 5,400 guns 
worth 8135,000, were unaccounted for further than they had been 
sent out and never heard of again. If the estimated quantity re- 
maining of the whole number distributed could be obtained, the 
State would have about 0,000 arms of different equalities, exclusive 
of those in the hands of the Quartermaster. The utter carelessness 
with which they had been distributed is shown by a few statements 
of Mr. Davis's report. Fifiy-one counties, a little over half of the 
State, had obtained all the arms, the remaining counties getting 
none. The State had eight pieces of artillery, and Vanderburg 
county had one-foin-fh of these. The? law required distributions to 
be made upon the retjuisitions of County Boards, but very many, if 
not most, were made without any such requisition, and usually 
upon the verbal order of the Gt)vernor. On the 14th of January, 
the day acting Governor Hammond retired from office, he ordered 
from the United Stales Ordinance Office at Washington, without 
any requisition, 104 mu>ke!s, over one-sixth of the entire quota of 
the State for that year, to Vanderburg county. Wliere the pro- 
visions of the law for the preservation and return of arms had been 
complied with, the secm-ities were ample, but the law had been lit- 
tle regarded, and tht; arms that had been lost were unlikelv to be 
replaced. Mr. Davis's estimate of the probable number remaining, 
7,000, was liberal, but if it could have been fully realized the result 
would not have been very encouraging, if the proportion fit for 
service should have proved no larger than that of the arms which 
had never been distributed. 

About the time he reported th(> probable condition of those scat- 
tered tiu'ough the State, the Quartermaster turned over for inspec-

tion by Captains Epiirai.m Haktwivf,!, and A. I. Harrison, of 
Indianapolis, those still in his hands, raid they reported 505 mus- 
Isets worthless and incapable of Ix'ing repaired ; 54 flint lo(;k Yager 
rifles which could be altered at •':^2.00 each to percussion locks; 40 
serviceable muskets in the hands of military companies in Indian- 
ajiolis, which could be retnrned at once; 80 muskets with accoutre- 
ments in store; 13 artillery muslcetoons; 75 hoist(;r pistols; 26 
Sharpk's rifles; 20 Colt's navy pistols; 3 boxes of cavalry sabres ; 
1 box powder flasks; 3 boxes of accoutrements. This was the 
condition of the State's arms on the Lst of Fei)ruary. In order to 
ascertain what miajht be due the State. Governor Morton, on tlie 
17th of January, wrote to the War I)ep,artmeiit, inquiring ''what j 
quantity and kind of arms Indiana is entitled to from the (Jeneral ; 
Government- Whether there are not arrearages for past years! I 
upon what principle or ratio arms are distributed, whether upon ; 
Congressional representation, or the enrollment of militia, or both; j 
what form of application should be made, and how soon the arms 
due can be forwarded." The repijr stated that arms were distrib- ' 
uted upon the ratio of Congressional representation, and that no ; 
arrearages were due to the Slate. The quota for 1861, v/as ; 
592 2-13 muskets, which could be drawn in any kind of arms de- i 
sired, at the rate of one six-pounder cannon for 31 1-13 muskets, and j 
ten long range rifles, with sword bayonets, for 13 5-13 muskets- \ 
He directed the remainder of our quota 487 11-13 muskets, (after ■ 
deducting' the 104 1-13 guns drawn by Governor Hammond for S 
Vanderburg county the dny he lett otlice) to be forwarded in one i 
six-pounder cannon, and the balaiic.' in long range rities with sword 
bayonets. 

As soon as these facts had been ascertained, he communicated I 
them to the Legislature, in February, with a statement of the in, 
elliciency of the militia laws; and on the 5th of March following^ j 
a bill was passed and approved, authorizing the Governor to collect j 
all the arms belonging to the State, not held by companies efl'ect- \ 
ively organized, and to distribute them in his discretion to regularly | 
organized volunteer companies in difi'erent portions of the State. A ] 
circular containing the act was at once sent by the Governor to the ; 
various counties, and agents dispatched to execute its requirements, 1 
Mr. AaiDROSE Ballweg, an experienced gunsmith, of Indianapolis, 
was a})pointed Quartermaster General to receive and repair the 
arms that mio;ht be returned. But it soon became evident that the 



EFFORTS TO PROCURE GOVERNMENT ARMS. 429 

result of the elTort to collect the nrms would be trifling'; and, about 
the middle of March, the Governor went to Washington to obtain 
arms from the General Government, in addition to the tneagie rem- 
nant of the year's quota. His foresight anticipated the peril;^ which 
a state of hoslililies would create for the Northwest. The adliesion 
of Kentucky to the Union was by no means certain. If she se- 
ceded, Indiana would rest directly upon the rebel Confederacy, and 
nuist be prepared for defense. If she did not secede, her territory 
was certainly to be made the scene of constant coniiicts, and prob- 
ably the starting point of invasions, encouraged and protected b) ihc 
strong and ahnost dominant rebel feeling among her peophi. Pro- 
tection against these dangers necessitated a better sup|)Iy of arms 
rl^nn could be expected from the reports of the collecting agents. 
He was promised 5,000 muskets, but before any steps were takcui to 
fulfill tl}e p^romis!', the v^ar broke out, and then the necessity of 
State defense was enlarged To the necessity of both State and Na- 
tional defense, and the 5,000 arms, with what could be collected, 
would be a very inadequate provision. The result of the collec- 
tions under the act of the oih of r^rrrcli, was 3,4-)0 small arms of 
sixteen diiierent kinds, but of naiform inferiority. They were fit 
for nothing, and were never used for anything but guard duty or 
drill instruction. Some 1,700 accoutrements of but little belter 
character than the arms, eight pieces of old artillery, of doubtful 
value, were also collected, it was evident that some other resource 
than the overstrained abiliiy of the General Government, the 
Vv-retched lot of arms on hand, and tiie meagre supply provided, 
must be looked to. That resource could be only the treasury or 
credit of the State. This necessity, combining with the many oth- 
ers of the emergency, impelled the Governor to issue on the 19th of 
April, a call for the assembling of the Legislature (the regular ses- 
sion of which had terminated but, little more than a month before) 
in extraordinary session on the 24th. 

On the day th« Legislature met, the Governor received iioticc 
that l)ut three thousand five hundred of the five thousand arms 
j)romised could be furnished. He replied at once that this number 
'■would not arm even tin; troo|)s we have assembled here in camp, 
under the requisition of the President, and the State must be left 
without arms." A few days previously he had been informed l>y 
(Tcneral Wooi. that no accoutrements could be furnished. This 
left the State with very little help in arms from the General Gov- 



430 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

enimeiit, and none at all in equipments, without which they could 
not be used. The Goveriioi", in the same dispatch (of the 24th) in 
which he complained of the deficiency of arms, says, of the entire 
failure of accoutrements, that he had "given orders to have them 
made, but it would take time." He asked if there were no arsenals 
East or West from which arms mificlit !)e forwarded, and urged that 
a requisition he had previously made for twenty-four heavy guns 
to protect the Olsio river border, be increased to fifty, as " our river 
towns are full of alarm, and constantly sending deputations calling 
for camion and small arms." 'I'lu' cannon, he was inforned, were 
in the Pittsburg Arsenal. This condition of things will explain 
the urgent need of theac'ion recommended in his message delivered 
the next day, (25th), that '-one million dollars be approprieited for 
the purchase of arms and munitions of war, and the organization 
of the militia." On the 28th, three days after his message, he pre- 
sented tiie condition of the State, as to its means of otieiise or 
defense, fully and forcibly in a letter to tlie Secretary of War. He 
said: 

" Fiftpeti hutnli(^(l riile muskets l>avo been receivod tVom the AlU'iJihariy 
Arsenul, and two thousand more are expected this week, and we have been 
informed that no more can he obtained from tiiut quarter. A dispatch was 
received on the "i.jth, from General John E. Wool, htating that five thousand 
muskets and two hundred thonsai-d cartiidges wouUl be shipped from the 
Watervliet Arsenal to this State, but no time was fixed for their shipment., 
and I have received no further information on the sultj^'Ct. As you will per- 
ceive, the arms received and those expected this week will fall nearly one 
thousand short of arming six regiments, and I regret to learn from the Quar, 
termaster that those receiveU are of an inferior cliaracter, being old muskets 
rifled out, and in very many instances the bayonets have to be driven on with 
a hannner, and many others are so loose that they can be shaken olF. No 
accoutrements have been received, and I have iio definite information when 
they will be. Orders have been issued for their manufactuie, but our 
mechanics are not prep-ired for it, and their work proceeds slowly. 1 regrtt 
to add that great dissatisfaction prevails among the troops with regard to the 
quality of the arms furnished and the delay and uncertainty in the reception 
of stores and ammunition. * * * :<■ ^- It is now nine days since I 
have had the honor to hear from the Department, and from lack of informa- 
tion I am unable to take such steps for furnishing accoutrements, equipage, 
and supplies as 1 otherwise should. * "^ * * * I l>eg leave 
again, most earnestly, to call your immediate attention to the subject of 
furnishing our State with arms- The number on hand belonging to the State, 
good, bad and indifferent, will not exceed two thousand five hundred, and we 
have only filteen pieces of cannon, of small calibre. The country along the 
Ohio river, bordering Kentucky, is in a State of intense alarm. The people

entertain no doubt but that Kentucky will speedily attempt to go out of the 
Union. They are in daily fear that marauding parties from the other side of 
the river will plunder and burn their towns. The demands upon me for 
arms for their defc-nse are constant, and 1 am compelled to reply that I have 
them not, and know not when or where I can get them. A bill will pa.ss our 
Legislature, probably on Monday, appropriating a half million of dollars for 
the purchane of arms, but I am informed that eng.agemeiits of Eastern man- 
ufacturers are such that they can not be procured, perhaps, for months This 
State is one of the mo.st exposed, by its geographical position, to the irame. 
diate evils of civil war, and it does seem to me should be preferred, in the 
distribution of arms, over those geographically distant from the scene of 
i:»robable conflict. If, in your opinion, these considerations are ejititled to 
weight, I trust that at least twenty thousand stands of arms will be promptly 
shipped to this State, with a large supply of artillery, which is indispensibly 
necessary to prevent our river towns from being bombarded and burnt by 
batteries erected on the other side of the river. Indiana is loyal to the core, 
and will expend her blood and treasure without limit for the successful pros- 
ecution of the war, and it is due to her loyalty that she be provided by the 
General Government to the extent of its capacity." 

PURCHASE OF ARMS BY THE STATE. 

On the firt<t day of May the Legislature jjassed, and the Gover- 
nor approved, "an act* to provide for the defewses of the State of 
Indiana, to procure first-class arms, artillery, cavalry and infantry 
equipments and munitions of war. making the necessary appropri- 
ations therefor, and authorizing the Governor to borrow^ money."' 
This act directed the Governor "to procure immediately a supply 
of lirst-cla.ss arms sufficient for twenty thousand men, including 
such as are now on hand and fit fOr service, and such as may be 
procured from the Government," and to dispatch agents imme- 
diately to procure them. It also appropriated five hundred thou- 
sand dollars for the purpose, and authorized the Governor to bor- 
row money, if necessary, and pledge the faith of the State for its 
payment. 

Anticipating the passage of this bill, and anxious to be as early 
as possible in the market, in which the sudden and enormous de- 
mand was rapidly advancing the price of arms, the Governor, on 
the 27th of April, authorized Calvin Fletcher, Sr., of Indianap- 
olis, "to proceed to the manufactories of arms in the Eastern 
States, to any place where they may have arms to sell, and make 
careful examination as to the kind and quality of arms that can be 
purchased, the prices for cash, and the prices on a credit of a few

months ; if they can not be had now, how soon can they be manu- 
factured and ready for delivery. Procure all the information in 
your power, even in regard to second-hand serviceable arms, or 
arms not of the latest improvement, and communicate with me 
from time to time by telegraph. Before making any contract, ad- 
vise with me as to the character of it, kind of arms that can be 
procured, etc. I v>nsh you to make particular inquiries about 
artillery — guns, carriages, caissons, equipments and harness for 
''Hying" artillery; also in regard to rilled cannon. Should you 
have any information making it probable that arms can be pro- 
cured in Canada, you will proceed there and prosecute your 
inquiries.'' Acc(;m|)anying this authority was a memorandum of 
of the most serviceable classes of arms for the different branches of 
the service, made by Major (now General) Thomas J. Wood, then 
United States' mustering officer at Indianapolis. 

Mr. FLETCHr;R's mission accomplished little tovvards supj)lying 
the wants of the State, though, with characteristic energy and 
care, he prosecuted it in all directions that promised a favorable re- 
sult. Some small quantities of our arms were procured, but the 
aggregate was too slight to make any special record of it necessary. 
Subsequently, his son. Prof. Milks J. Flktcher, Superintendent 
of Public Instruciion, was dispatched upon a similar errand, with 
a similar result; and several other agents, directly or indirectly in 
connection with other objects, made like ineffectual efforts to in- 
crease the State's armament. While these were in progress the 
(Jlovernor did not fail to press oiu* necessities upon the Govern- 
ment. On the 9th of May he wrote to General McClei.lan, then 
in command of the Western Division of the army, that the condi- 
tion of Kentuelcy was alarming, particularly to our river towns, 
and that the "people vvere defenseless for want of arms." " Louis- 
ville," he said, ''should be commanded by batteries upon our side 
of the river that she might be held, in some way, as a hostage for 
the good conduct of the Kentucky rebels and the security of our 
border." T!]is object was to some extent etlected by a detail of 
two pieces of heavy ordnance for New Albany, but to complete it 
a like battery should be placed at Jeffersonville. This would not 
only keep Louisville quiet, but " prevent the shipment of heavy 
ordnance to pass over the Louisville railroad up the river. But 
Madison, which was particularly exposed, should have a battery of 
two heavy guns to dislodge any assailing battery upon the hills on 



ROBERT DALE OWEN APPOINTED AGENT. 433 

the opposite side of the river. Evansville and Lawrenccbnrg were 
in a similar exposed condition. " Ten heavy pieces (10-inch 
Colambiads) would, we think, make us secure. Now is the time 
to pnt them in place when it may probably be peaceably done." 
The futility of the^e applications confirmed what could hardly be 
doubted before, that the State must depend upon her own exer- 
tions, for the time at least, for the means not only of assisting the 
General Government, but of defending herself. 

On the 30th of May, the Governor having resolved to do all that 
was necessary for the proper preparation of the State for war, with- 
out relying upon the uncertain and insufficient provision of the 
General Government, and trusting that the outlay would be reim- 
bursed, appointed Hon. Robkrt Dale Ovvf.n, (formerly a member 
of Congress from the First District of the State, and more recently 
Minister to the Kingdom of Naples, whose abilities, varied experi- 
ence, and vast information, no less than his well-tried integrit}> 
pointed him out as eminently qualified for the duty,) Agent of the 
Statf^, to procure arms, equipments and munitions of war, under 
the act. of May 1st. The following is the authority given him by 
the Governor's commission: 

"The Hon. Robekt Dale Owen is hereby appointed Agent of the State of 
Indiami, to visit the Eastern States and Europe in order to purchase arms for 
the use of said State. He is to exercise his best diligence to purchase arms 
on the best terms, for military purposes lie is to select; the best quality of 
approved modern arms, rifles or rifled muskets, with bayonets, and carbines. 
His purchases are not to extend beyond six thousand rifles and rifled muskets, 
and one thousand carbines. These arms are to be forwarded to this city 
(Indianapolis) as fast as possible, and the arms purchased in Europe are to 
be paid by drafts upon the State of Indiana, at the office of Winsi.ow, Lanier 
& Co., in the city of New York. No arms to be bought until after full inspec- 
tion and trial as to their fitness for service. Mr. (_)\ven is to proceed in the 
execution of his mission with all diligence. Original bills and invoices signed 
by the parties from whom purchases are made shall be preserved and filed 
with the Governor for his inspection and information." 

Mr. Oiooi's pKrchascs. — The day that Mr. Owen received his 
commission he started for New York to execute the duties it 
imposed. From that day till he closed his labors, February 6th, 
1863, all the State's purchases of arms were made through him, the 
original limit of six thousand rifles and one thousand carbines being 
extended from time to time, by further orders from the Governor. 
His final report shows that he bought altogether :

111 addition to these purchases made by the authority of the State^ 
Mr. (^WKN also purchased for the United States, Ihe State advancing 
the money, ten thousand Enfield rifles, which were put into the 
h':inds of Indiana soldiers during the movement of General Kirby 
SiMiTii through Kentuciiy to the Ohio river. Adding this we have 
;i total of rifles purchased by him of forty thousand. The outla}^ 
for these was, in part, made directly by the Greneral GoveriuTicnt, 
and, in part, by the State, ultimately reimbursed by the General 
Government. 

'I'he total of all Mr. Owen's purchases was -f 752,694 75, of which 
the General Government furnished funds to the amount of $(311,- 
^40 48, and the State $141,454 27. The prompt assumption of 
th(^ State's liability by tlie General Government was due mainly to 
the superior character and comparative cheapness of the arms 
boui^ht by Mr. Owen. The first lot of twenty thousand Enhelds 
was bought at an average price of ^19 59 each; and the second, 
of ten thousand Enfields, at an average of $17 85. Mr. Oweaj 
says, in his report, that the price of the first lot "was very consid- 
eral)ly lower than the average price paid by the Government for 
first class Enfields during the period of my purchases. The later 
contracts for sixteen thousand guns could, some time after tiiey 
v/eie made, undoubtely have been sold at an advance of not' less 
that 840,000 or $50,000." Of the second lot of ten thousand, he 
savs: "The dilTerence between the price paid by me for these guns, 
certified to be of the best quality, and that paid by the Government 
for ordinary Enfields at the time of transfer, was ^23,3H8 00." The 
total difference between the prices of his purchases and those pre- 
vailing wh(m the arms were delivered, was about scrcnfi/ fhoiisaml 
dollars. That amount was saved to the General Government, (as 
it ultimately paid for all Mr. Owhn's purchases,) by his judicious 
action as Agent of Indiana. The advantage to the State of tlie 
ftsisuinption of her purchases was very great. Mr. Owen states it 
t!ms: "In this way Indiana was enabled, without throwing her 
boM'ts into market, or incurring losses by advances made, except 
for a few of the first rifles she bought, to place in the hands of a 
con-^iderable ])ortion of her troops arms of a quality very superior 



TOTAL OF MR. OWEN'S PURCHASES. 435 

to the average of those which fell to the lot of other States." The 
Investigating Committee appointed by the Legislature at the 
Special Session of 1864, reported that "in their opinion Mr. Owen 
exhibited much foresight in making the various purchases at the 
time he did. His duties were discharged with comm(Miduble fidel- 
ity and energy, and certainly the trust could not have been confided 
to an abler or more faithful agent." 

Besides the arms, Mr. Owkn purchased at various times large 
quantities of blankets, clothing and equipments which the General 
(government could not supply in time to meet the wants of our 
Troops, but for which the State was reimbursed. These purchases 
are stated in his report of February 6th, 1863, as follows: 

Ca-salrv Equipnionts, § 3,905.44 

Army Blankets, 50,40G.93 

Infontrv Great Coats, 84,829.13 



Total, ■ $139,141.50 

Add purchases of Anus, 752,094.75 



Total of Mr. Owen's purchases, S891,836.25 

Mr. Owen's charge for services and expenses in attending to this 
business for a year and eight months was 83,452, or a little more 
than one-third of one per cent on the amount of his purchases. 
Any responsible New York house would have charged for the same 
service a commission of at least one and a quarter per cent, or 
811,140.95. Mr. Owen thus saved to the State and General Gov- 
ernment 87,678.95. 

Re-imbursements. — I have said that the States' purchases of arms 
through INIr. Owen were all re-imbursed by the General Govern- 
ment, but a word of explanation is necessary to give the exact 
result of one of the purchases. Governor Morton, in his message 
of January 9th, 1863, says that during the advance of the rebels 
under General Kirby Smith, to the Ohio river, in August and 
September, 1862, he " believed it his duty to purchase 10,000 su- 
perior arms for the use of Indiana troops." The General Govern- 
ment authorized the purchase, but the State had to supply the 
money and await repayment. To obtain the money the Governor 
applied to the Ocean Bank of New York, the President of which, 
Mr. D. R. Martin, advanced it "without requiring any security, 
and upon the credit of the State." The amount was 8237,269.30. 
" There was some delay," says the Governor, " in getting the war- 
rant through the Departments at Washington," and the interest for 



436

that time "the officers of the Treasury alledgecl they had no 
authority to pay." It was consequently paid by the State. 

Other Purchases. — During the " Hines Raid" in the summer of 
1863, Governor Morton, then in New York, telegraphed to the 
Secretary of War, for 1,000 cavalry equipments and 1000 carbines 
for State troops. They were j:)romised but not furnished. When 
the " Morgan Raid" occurred in July f.:)llowing, it was necessary 
to have mounted State troops to make any sort of etFective pursuit 
of the flying guerrilla, and the Governor, finding" that Messrs Kit- 
TREDGE & Co., of Cincinnati, had some 760 Wesson's breech-load- 
ing rifles, bought them at the same price the General Government 
paid for them. The whole amount was ^18,811.40. These arms 
are still retained by the State. 

Besides this jmrchase the following were made by the State 
authorities :

ORDNANCE I) E P A IIT it E N T . 

Until the establishment of the United States Arsenal at Indian, 
apolis, all of our regiments and batteries, as well as the militia, re 
•ceived their armament from the Indiana Armory, attached to and 
under charge of the Quartermaster General. The Superintendent 
of the Armory was Captain Ambrose Ballweg, Deputy Quarter 
master General, who faithfully served in that capacity from the 
16th of April, 1861, to the 1st of November, 1863. Under his di- 
rection the arms were repaired, kept in order, and issued. Afrer 



RETURN OF STATE ARMS. 437 

his resignation the Quartcrtnaster General performed the duties of 
ordnance officer until the i4th of November, 1864, when Lieuten- 
ant Colonel Hermann Stcrm, late Superintendent of the Indiana 
State Arsenal, was commissioned Chief of Ordnance with the rank 
of Colonel. He was actively engaged for some eight months in 
making up returns of United States arms issued to our troops, and 
in assisting Indiana officers in adjusting their ordnance accounts 
with the Government. The latter service was performed without 
charge to the officers, and greatly facilitated their settlements. 

Transfer of Ordnance Duties to the Adjutant General. — By the 
Act of the Legislature, approved December 23d, 1865, the duties of 
the Ordnance Department of the State were committed to the 
charge of the Adjutant General, and it was provided tiiat he should 
discharge the same, in addition to liis duties as Adjutant General, 
and without additional compensation. 

Under orders issued from this office on the 27th of June, 1865, 
the militia organizations of the Indiana Legion were required to 
return all ordnance and ordnance stores in their possession, without 
delav, to the end that the State might be able to settle her ordnance 
account with the General Government — the arms having been 
furnished by the United States for the use of the militia during 
the late war. Colonel Sturm at once proceeded to procure returns 
and collect the arms, but owing to the confused and imperfect 
manner in which the accounts of issues in the Ordnance and 
Quartermaster's Departments had been kept, the work was ex- 
tremely difficult. Agents were dispatched to all parts of the State, 
and by personal efibrt and the assistance of officers of the Legion 
and the county authorities, succeeded, after much labor and ex- 
pense, in securing the return of only an inconsiderable portion of 
the arms. Colonel Stuhm closed his connection with the Depart- 
ment on the 31st of December, 1865, and on the 30th of January, 
1866, by command of Lieutenant Governor Baker, acting as 
Governor, I issued a stringent order, requiring all arms, accoutre- 
ments and military stores issued by the State to companies of the 
Indiana Legion, and to independent companies of militia, home 
guards and minute men, to be returned at once to the Quarter- 
master General. Under these orders there were returned during 
the year, 34 cannon, 41,251 muskets and rifles, 2,007 pistols, 2,015 
swords; total, 45,307; together with a large quantity of equipments, 
all of which were turned over, in pursuance of instructions from 



438 STAxrsTics and documents. 

the Chief of Ordnance, U. S. A., to the United States Military 
Storekeeper at this post, and his receipts taken therefor. By the 
books of the Quartermaster General, it appealed that 660 arms of 
all kinds were lost, captured or destroyed, and properly acconnted 
for by returns filed in his office, and that a large quantity of arms 
and ordnance stores still remained outstanding in a number of the 
counties, amounting in value to the sum of '1p93,263.-35. Under 
the Militia Law, it is made the duty of the Auditor of State to 
settle the account of each county, with reference to the issues of 
arms and other public jiroperty; and whenever it ajipears, to his 
satisfaction, that a county has failed to return said issues, or any 
part thereof, on demand of the Governor, or that any arms or other 
issues have been damaged beyond the injury resulting from their 
necessary use, or that a deficiency at any time exists in the number 
or quantity of such arms or military stores, he is required to charge 
the value thereof, and the amount of such unnecessary damage, to 
such county; and the amount thus found due shall be assessed as 
a part of the county levy, and collected in such county in the same 
manner as ordinary taxes, and shall be paid into the State Treas- 
ury as a separate fund, to be ai:»plied by the Gt)vernor to the pur- 
chase of other arms for the State. In this matter two difficuliies 
were presented: first, the State was apparently deficient in her re- 
turns to the United States several thousand stands of arms, and in 
case the authorities of the General Government insisted upon it, 
could be required to return tliem, or pay their value in money; in 
the second p/lace, it was evident from the state of the accounts 
against several of the counties, that many of them were improperly 
charged, and others probably not charged at all. This state of af- 
fairs gvew out of the confusion and haste which prevail(,'d during 
the first three years of the war in almost every military department, 
and the many changes which occurred in the militia organization, 
requiring frequent transfers of arms from one county to another 
for home defense, of which the Quartermaster General's Depart- 
ment and Ordnance office here were not advised. Under these 
circumstances to have undertaken the collection of the value of the 
arms in the manner prescribed by the law, would have been unjust 
and productive of much trouble and complaint. Twenty counties 
were reported in arrears in the value of ariris, etc., amounting to 
from one thousand to seventeen thousand dollars each, besides a 
large number of others in smaller amounts. The penalties pre-

in most cases tlioy rephed that they were uiiabh; to trace the ai-ius, 
or to make any satisfactory expkuiatiQUS as to why they coiihl not 
be returned. 

Accordingly in Decennber, 1806, with a view of etiecting, if pos- 
sible, a settlement with the General Government, which would re- 
lieve the State from her responsibility, and therel)y enabh' her to 
release the counties^ I forv^'arded to the Chief of Ordnanci' at 
Washington City, complete abstracts and votichers, made up by 
General Stonk, Quar'ern}aster General, for the arms and ordnance 
stores turned over to the Military Siorekeeper, as before stated, to- 
gether with a statement of the arms captured, lost and destroye(J, 
as shown by the returns, and in view of all the facts and circnm.- 
stances, asked that the State be relieved from further liability in 
that behalf. 'I'he Secretary of Vv^ar was also addressed on the 
same subject. On the 28th of December tlie Chief of Ordnance 
replied as follows: "It is to be presumed that all the arms and 
ordnance stores luraished to your State, during the war, were used 
and disposed of for thc^ best interest of the public service. If, 
therefore, it will be agreeable to your State authorities, this De- 
partment will consider the papers transmitted in your letters of 
10th and 20rh inst., as closing the accountibility of your State for 
the arras and ordnance stores issued to it as above stated," By 
direction of Governor Mortox, I immediately accept<'d the forego- 
ing |)ro|K)sition, and afterwards received from the Ordnance Oilice, 
War Department, a full and complete acquittance, relieving the 
Stat(^ from all liability as to said arms and stores, and acknowledg- 
ing the final settlement and closing of the account. Proceedings 
against the counties, under the Legion law, were at once stopped 
by the following orders:

440 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

Other Ordnance Puturns. — From the commencement of the war, 
in April, 1861, until the 1st of Jnly, 1863, the volunteer forces of the 
State were supplied with United States arms and ordnance stores, 
the same being issued through the State Ordnance Department. 
Although the State, in this matter, simply acted as the agent of the 
General Government, without, probably, incurring any |)ecuniary 
liability, it appeared to be necessary that she should render her ac- 
count, and show a faithful discharge of the trust, by furnishing to 
the Ordnance Officer at Washington, proper abstracts and vouch- 
ers for all the arms and ordnance stores issued to United States 
Volunteers, as above stated. Instructions touching the premises 
were asked of General Ripley, then United States Chief of Ord- 
nance, but he declined to give any, and refused to receive any State 
returns. Upon taking charge of the Adjutant General's Office, I 
suggested to Colonel Sturm the propriety of making up the re- 
turns, being well satisfied that they would some day be required, 
and that without them a complete and final adjustment of the 
State's ordnance account could not be made. The State had her- 
self purchased large quantities of the arms, and had filed her ac- 
count for the same in the United States Treasury Department; and 
it appeared to me, that unless it was shown that the arms so pur- 
chased had been properly issued to United States troops, the Gen- 
eral Government would hardly be willing to j)ay for them. So it 
turned out. My suggestion to Colonel Sturm was comijliecl with, 
and the returns, which were very full and complete, were duly 
placed in my hands. After some correspondence with the War 
Department on the subject, I forwarded the same by express to the 
United States Ordnance Office, and requested, as soon as the neces- 
sary examination could be made, that the State be released and the 
account closed. From information received since, I learn the re- 
turns are regarded as a final settlement of the matter. 

State Claim for taking- Care of United States Arms. — In the 
settlement of the affairs of the Indiana State Arsenal, the War 
Department decided and agreed that the State should be reim- 
bursed for any expense and outlay incurred in taking care of, re- 
pairing, and issuing arms belonging to the United States, to volun- 
teers. These expenses, up to the time of the decision, were blended 
with the expenses of the Arsenal, and consequently they were not 
included in our general clanu against the United States for ad- 
vances on account of the war. By a thorough overhauling of the 



ARMS DUE FROM THE GOVEKNMENT. 441 

Arsenal vouchers, ihe items i)ro|)erly chargonble to the United 
States were ascertained; and, after much diHiciilty, new vouchers 
were procured, amounting to the sum o'. 823,916.08, which vouch- 
ers I transmitted, on the 15th of December, 1866, through the Sec- 
retary of War, to the United States Chief of Ordnance, for settle- 
ment. The chiim was subsequently allowed, except ^57.40, and 
the ujoney paid into the State Treasury. 

Quota of arms due the State from the General Government. — The 
act of Congress approved April 23d, 1808, provides that the aiuuial 
sum of two hundred thousand dollars shall be appropriated for the 
purpose of providing arms and military equipments for the wdiole 
body of the militia of the United States, either by purchase or man- 
ufacture, by and on account of the United States; and that all 
the arms procured in virtue of said act shall be transmitted to the 
several States and Territories, to each State and Territory, respect- 
ively, in proportion to the representation in Congress, and that such 
arms shall be distributed to the militia under such rules and regu- 
lations as the Legislature of each State may prescribe by law. 

During the Rebellion, this State made no claim, and did not 
draw her quota of arms under the act above quoted. As Ordnance 
Officer of the State, I therefore felt it to be my duty to address to 
the Chief of Ordnance at Washington on the subject, and in reply 
was informed, under date of January 11th, 1867, that the State was 
entitled to arms and equipments of such patents as were issued to 
United States troops, equal in value to $27,137.98. 1 also obtained 
from the Chief of Ordnance a list of the diti'erent kinds of arms and 
accoutrements available for issue to States, and w^as advised by 
him on the 1st of February, 1867, that the State was entitled to a 
further allowance of arms for the year 1867, amounting in value to 
the sum of 87.180.04, wdiich, added to the previous allowance, made 
the total sum due $34,318.02. 

On the 6th of April, I made requisition on tiieChief of Ordnance 
for the following arms in satisfaction of the quota due the State: 

1,479 Springfield Rifled Muskets, with Accoutrements, at SI 7 34 $25,645 86

The arms were duly received in good order and condition, but 
as the State Armory is a wooden structure and not guarded, I did 
not consider it a safe place for a depository of ordnance. I there- 
fore effected an arrangetmient with Colonel Karris, commanding 
the Itidiatiapolis Arsenal, to store all of the State's arms in the 
Arsenal building. They were boxed and stored accordingly. 

By ccirrespondence with the Ordnance office in November, 1868, 
I learned that the quota of arms due the State for the year 186S, 
amounted in value to $7,180 24. By direction of the Governor, 
I made requisition, in satisfaction of the same, for four hundred 
and fourteen Springfield Riile JNluskets and accoutrements of ilie 
value of ^7,17y 76, leaving to the credit of the State i2 52« 
These were placed in store witii the others at the Indianapolis 
Arsenal.

arms now owned by the State :

sary gun carriages, accoutrements, belts, etc. 

The militia being wholly unorganized, and the law being so 
worthless as to render the maintenance of an effective force under 
it impossible, it was determined by Governor Baker, soon after 
th(! arms had been drawn in from the Indiana Legion, that no 
effort ought to be made toward organizing any portion of the 
militia until a more stringent and eflective law could be enacted. 
Many applications were received, principally from veteran volun- 
teers of the late war, for arms ami equipments, and a strong de- 
sire was manifested in various parts of the State to form com- 
panies, either under the law, or independent of it. The Governor, 



ORDNANCE RETURNS. 443 

however, adhered to his original determination, and in pursuance 
of his orders, a circular was issued from this oflice on the 5th of 
June, 1867, the substance of which was as follows: 

" In consequence of the numerous requisitions that have been made, and 
are likely to be made, upon this Department for arms and equipments for 
Military Companies, I am directed to announce that it is not, at this time, 
deemed advisable to organize any portion of the militia of the State. 

" Within the past two years, ex[)erience has demonstrated that it is im- 
possible to maintain an effective and well disciplined militia force under ex- 
isting laws. During the late war, it is true, the ' Indiana Legion ' rendered 
invaluable service in repelling rebel raids and guarding our Southern border 
against rebel invasion ; yet it is also true that upon the surrender of Lke. 
every company of the 'Legion' abandoned its organization. The inefficiency 
of the militia law rendered it impossible to enforce any sort of discipline or 
responsibility; and to save the State from great loss, the authorities were 
compelled to gather in the arms and other public property. This was only 
partially accomplished, and at an expense almost equal to the value of the 
arms and stores recovered. It is estimated that there are now outstanding, 
scattered throughout the State, not less than 7,000 muskets, most of which 
will probably never be reclaimed. 

" An additional reason why the militia can not now be effectively main- 
tained, is, that there is no fund provided for defraying the expenses which 
would necessarily be incurred. 

" In a number of cases it has been proposed to organize Independent Com- 
panies; but as these are not recognized by the law, there is no authority 
whatever for issuing to them the public arms. 

" In view of the foregoing facts, it is believed that the public interest will 
be best subserved by retaining the few hundred arms now in ]>ossession of 
the State until such time as the Legislature, or the General Government, 
may provide by a new and more stringent law for the proper organization of 
the militia. 

"The arms on hand are new and in perfect order, and have recently been 
carefully packed and stored for safety, at considerable expense, in the United 
States Arsenal near this city. In case of insurrection or riot they may be re- 
quired, and will be at once available." 

Ordnance Returns. — The complicated nature of ordnance ac- 
counts, rendered it extremely difficult for many Indiana vokuiteer 
otHcers to make their settlements with the Gen(>ral Government. 
Certificates of non-indebtedness for ordnance and ordnance stores 
Vv'ere required before they could draw their pay. Claim agents 
charged exorbitant fees for making up the accounts, and delays 
occurred in receiving certificates of non-indebtedness that caused 
real hardship to many officers. While Colonel Stuum was en- 
gaged in making up the accounts and returns for arms received 
and issued by the State, he was required by the Governor also to 



444 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

make up the ordnance accounts of such oificers as applied to him, 
as before noticed, and from his intimate accjuintance with the 
forms and requirements of the United States Ordnance Office, he 
had but little difficulty in securing satisfactory and speedy settle- 
ments. Other duties claiming the attention of Colonel Sturm, the 
Governor, on the 29ih of June, 1864, directed Mr. C. F. Rooker, 
Chief Clerk of the State Ordnance Office, to continue making up 
the ordnance and other returns of our officers, without charge. He 
continued to do this, the State paying his salary, office rent and 
furnishing blanks and stationery, until the 31st of July, 1865. wdieii 
the otHce was discontinued and the unfinished business was placed 
in the hands of Colonel Sturm, by whom it was closed in a short 
time. 

Several thousand officers w^ere thus enabled to settle their ac 
counts with the Government, many of which were badly compli- 
cated, without being subjected to heavy expense and long delays. 
It is estimated that by this arrangement on the part of the Gov- 
ernor, the officers saved in fees alone not less than forty thousand 
dollars, while the expense to the State was trifling. 



QUARTERMASTER GENERAL'S OFFICE. 

GENERAL MORRIS. 

The office of Quartermaster General was created by the Consti- 
tution of the State, and that officer is appointed by the Governor 
and Commander-in-Chief. 

The duties pertaining to this office prior to the rebellion were 
nominal — the care and issuing. of the few arms and accoutrements 
drawn by the State from the General Government, and collecting 
the same from the counties when demanded by the Governor, com- 
prised all the labors required. There was no particular regularity 
system or order observed in conducting the business, and when 
Governor Morton first entered upon the duties of his office ht; was 
unable to ascertain even wdiat number of arms the State had, or 
where they were. As the salary of the Quartermaster General 
was only twenty-five dollars per annum, it is not surprising that no 
accounts were kept, or that the public property was allowed to 
become scattered and lost. 

The call upon the State for six regiments in April, 1861, made 



GENERAL V.AJEN. 445 

it neces^-rivy lo ilioroughly r(-organize 1hc office and place it upon 
a '"war Tooting." Colonel Thomas A. jMorris, whose superior 
busine.-s qualilications and acqu-iintancc with military alTairs and 
nsnges well fitted him for the pc^siiion, was appointed Quarter- 
master General on the 16th day of A|)ril, 1861, and at once actively 
engaged in arranging for clothing, equipping and quartering the 
troops, no supplies at that time having been provided by the United 
States. Mr. Ambrosu Ballweg was made Deputy Quartermaster 
General and assigned to duty as Superintendent of the State 
Armory, which position he continued faithfully to fill until the 
1st of November, 1863, when he resigned. Eleven days after 
General Morris's apjKiintment he was called to a new field of 
duty, having been commissioned Brigadier General and assigned 
to com-mand the Indiana three months' forces. 
(lENKHAL VAJEN. 
John li. Vajrn, Esq.. an enterpri>ing and successful merchant of 
Indianapolis, succeeded General Morris on the 29th of April. 
Under his administration the office soon assumed an im[)onant 
place among the military '• institutions" of the State. Much in- 
convenience and difficulty was experienced in getting the depart- 
ment, wiiich proved to be vast and intricate in its details and of 
grave responsibility, in complete and easy working order. Oilicers 
and etnployes were alike inexperienced and unacquainted with the 
us;ige,s and forms always inseparable from military business. 
General Vajkn brought to the di>charge of his duties splendid 
business tact and unflagging indu>try, and soon had his office or- 
ganized as thoroughly as the pressing nature of the circumstances 
would allow. It must be recollected that the first six reeiments 
were cc^mpleted and in camp in less than one week, and that every- 
thing recpiired by them had to be furnished wit liout any previous 
preparation. The troops impatiemly chafed under the least incon- 
venience; or delay, and they were jealous too of every right and 
claim which they thought might belong to them as soldiers. 'I'luit 
they became occasionally demonstrative o:i the sul)ject of uniforms, 
blankets, tents and so cm; or that lh(>y, fresh from the comfi)rts, 
ease and luxuries of home, often complained respecting the quality 
and (;nan;ity of their daily supplies, will not be considered extra- 
ordinary. So great was the demand all over the country for mili- 
tary goods, it could not be met. Cloth for uniforms, blankets, 
tents, camp equipage, and even arms and accoutrements had to be 



446 ADJUTANT general's HEPORT. 

inaiuifactured from raw materials; in the meantime the necess^ities 
of the vokmteers were supplied in tiie best manner possible. For- 
tuiiattiy the treason of the year was mild, pleasant and healthy; 
so tliere was no real eausc for complaint, but the clamor of the 
soldiers and their importuning and sympathizing friends was in- 
cessant, and worried everybody, and more especially the nnfortu- 
nate wights whose duty it was to furnish the necessary toggery and 
supplies to make them at once — soldiers I These clan)orings are 
now looked upon as humors of th.(^ war; they teach, nevertheless, a 
useful and instructive lesson. 

Generid Vajen's success in procuring the required stores was 
considered at the time somi^what remarkable, for it was but a few 
days after the regiments were mustered in before they were fully 
uniformed and equipped. I'lie continued tender of troops by the 
Governor and their acceptance by the Government, called for re- 
doubled exertions on the i)art of the Quartermaster's Depart tuent; 
warehouses and barracks were built, camps fitted up, ammunition 
manufactured and outfits procured with a promptitude that won 
the applause of the people of the State, and it is not vain-glorious 
now to say that no troops anywhere at that time were put into the 
field quicker, or with better arms, uniforms and equipments, than 
were those from Indiana, and gentlemen who have had actual ex- 
))erience in the war will know how greatly all this depended on the 
energy and elficiency of the Quartermaster's Department. 

During General Vajen's incumbency, and while the State was 
exclusively required to clothe and equip lier troops, twenty-two 
regiments of infantry, two regiments and two independent compa 
nies of cavalry, and three batteries of light artillery were furnished 
with clothing, wool and rubber blankets, tents, tools and complete 
camp equipage; the entire cost of which, including many extra 
articles not furnished by the General Government, did not exceed 
twenty dollars per man. 

In the month of August, 1861, an Assistant Quartermaster of 
the United States Army was stationed at Indianapolis, who, from 
that time, assumed the charge of clothing and equipping troops 
subsequently raised. This saved the advance of large sums on the 
part of the State, and secured the transaction of the business in 
the mode prescribed by regulations. The Governor and Quarter- 
master CJeneral, however, did not omit attention to the demands of 
the troops, and it was not unfrequently the case that supplies, such

as blankets, ovrr-coais, etc, were purchased by Ihe Stale audiori- 
ties — (generally by Hon. Robrrt Dale Ovvkn, Slate Furelr.isi\ig- 
Agent in New York.) payments being made direcily to the con- 
tractors by the United S;ates Quartermaster. These efforts f;u-ili- 
tated recruiting, and were of great benefit to Indiana soldiers, inanv 
of whom in the fall of 1861, serving in Missouri and Western 
Virginia, were unable to procure these indispensible articles through 
the regular channels, and but for the timely interposition oi' the 
State authorities would have sutTered terribly in consequence. 
Besides, our officers and agents having acquired a full knowledge 
of the markets, could buy siipjilies cheaper than the Government 
Quanermasters could, and the arrangement alluded to, therefore, 
aside from all other advantages, was the means of saving money 
to the United States. 

On the 17th of iMarcii, 1862, General Vajrn desiring to give his 
attention to his private ailairs, tendered his resignation, but, to 
enable him to complete his otnciai report, it was not accepted unii* 
the following May. 

(; E N t: 11 A I, K E w. 
John C. New, Esq., succeeded General Vajen, as Quarter- 
master General, his appointment dating May 30th, 1862. He con- 
tinued in office until the 13Lh October of the same year, when he 
resigned. During this time the General Govermnent, through 
Ca|)tain Ekix, United States Quartermaster, stationi^d at Indian- 
apolis, furnished all the clothing and canip equipage for the troops 
organized in the State, excepting such necessary articles of camp 
and garrison equipage as were not provided for by the regulations 
of the United States, which were deemed necessary for the com- 
fort and convenience of the soldier, and which had hitherto been 
always suijpjied by the State. General New, therefore, purchased 
by contract, at public lettings, such articles as were absolutely 
required by the troops, consisting of tin buckets, wash-j)ans, coilee- 
boilers, cups, fry-])ans, colTee-mills, etc., and issued them for the use 
of the various camps of volunteers. He also caused comfortable 
barracks to be erected for the accommodation of the troops in pro- 
cess of organization in the several Congressional districts — the gen- 
eral government not being able to furnish ten's at tlietime. Oiher 
duties of a miscellaneous character claimed the attention of Gen- 
eral New, during his term, and were discharged with promptitude 
and good judgment. 



448 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

G E N F R A L S T N E. 

Upon the resignation of General Nkw, the Commissary General, 
Hon. AsAiiKL Stone, was assioned t« the office of Quartermaster 
General, his commis.^ion bearing date October 15th, 1862. Gene- 
ral Stone had aheady proved himself a most faithful and caj)abie 
otficer and his appointment to this new position, was a fitting and 
deserved tribute to his usefulness and elliciency. 

General Duties. — The demands upon the Quartermaster Gen- 
eral during the time General Stone served in that capacity, were of 
a very miscellaneous character; in fact he came nearer being an 
officer of "all work" than any other connected with the State 
military service. An epitome of his duties can only be here given. 
He was required to take charge of and issue all the arms, accoutre- 
ments and quartermaster stores used by the Legion, and alter the 
war was over and the Lrgion refused longer to maintain its organ. 
ization, it became his duty, under orders issued from this office, to 
collect together all the outstanding arms and turn them over to the 
United States' ordnance officer at the Indianapolis Arsenal, in satis- 
faction of the G(.)vernment's claim against the State, for aims fur- 
nished the militia. His report shows that he recovered and turned 
over 41,212 muskets. It was made his duty also to examine and 
certify a variety of accounts for transportation, supplies and other 
expenses incurred by the State for Ijoujc and government service; 
to provide; camps and barracks and keep them in re|X\ir whenever 
the Government oliicials failed to do so ; to i'urnish wood, str;iw, 
stoves, cooking utensils and thousands of other things, when 
required for the health and comfort of newly organized trooj^s ; to 
su[)erintend and manage the Post or State Bakery and furnish 
wholesome loaf bread in lieu of the usual flour rations provided 
by the Government; to furnish rations and lodgings at the "Sol- 
dier's Home and Rest" for furloughed soldiers and for troops from 
all quarters who might be temporarily delayed, or who were en 
route to the field ; to provide temporary quarters and suitable 
accommodations and subsistence for the indigent wives and chil- 
dren and female relatives of soldiers who visited the capital to see 
their sick or departing husbands, fathers and friends; to . supply 
poor suffering refugees from the South VvMth bread and blankets ; 
to investigate abuses and inaugurate reforms in and aboui^ the 
camps of rendezvous; to receive from the United States Quarter-

master and issue to reeruits before they were organized into com- 
panies sucli articles of clothing, camp and garrison equipage as 
was req lired for tficir comfort and well l)eing ; and to look iifter 
any and every other general, special and miscellaneous wants con- 
nected with the service, that required prompt and faithful attention. 
lie was a sort of iT)ilitary break-water; his duties were incongru- 
ous and manifold, oftentimes vexatious and annoying, but always 
discharged with scrupulous fidelity. 

Stale Bakery. — In September, 1862, after the exchange of the 
Fort Donelson prisoners. Governor Morton directed General St'jni: 
to take charge of the bakery which had been erected by the State 
for the benefit of the prisoners at Camp Morton, while used as a 
jirison camp. Its capacity was from six to seven thousand loaves 
daily, but it was soon increased to Ihc capacity of eleven or twelve 
thousand loaves daily. It was subsequently still further enlarged, 
and from it all the camps, hospitals, the military prison, the 
"Soldiers' Home," "Ladies' Home'' and large numbers of refugees 
and indigent soldiers' families were daily supplied with freshly 
baked bread, the Government furnishing the usual " flour ration" 
for the number of tro( ps officially reported, which being economi- 
cally manipulated at the bakery yielded a ))rofit, altogether, of 
nearly one hundred and fifty-seven thousand dollars. To explain 
this — a j:)Ound of flour when properly kneaded and baked will make 
considerably more than a pound of good wholesome bread. By 
furnishing all tfie bread re(piired, the Quartermaster Geiieral was 
ejial)ied to run the bakery on an extensive scale, and after paying 
all (wpenses, a handsome profit accrued which was used, as far as 
recpiired, for the benefit of the troops. Stoves and other conve- 
niences and comforts for soldiers' quarters and hospitals, which could 
not be procured from the Government, were thus supplied. At the 
same time the bread ration was much better, subject to less waste, 
and in every respect much more acceptable to the soldiers than the 
flour ration. The following extracts from General Stone's report 
to the Governor, January 1st, 18G5, explains how the profits accrued: 

"Flour is furnished, on propor requisition, by Captain Thomas Fosteu, the 
Commissary of Subsistence, ami the bakery delivers to the soldier the amount 
of bread thao the army regulations allow them. At the end of each month 
we find that we have a surplus of flour on hand. In other words, a given 
number of pounds of flour will furnish an equal weight of bread, and leave a 
surplus of, s ly thirtv-three and a third per cent, of tlour on hand. This sur-

plus the Gommissary of Subsistence purchases of me at the price fixed by the 
flour contract then existing between himself and the party furnishing it." 

The total operations of the bakery, as shown by General Stone's 
final report, was as follows:

Bakery, from September 1st, 18G2, to May 5th, 18G6. . . SlOO,12i 83

Genertil Stone reports, also, that farther savings on llonr accrued j 
to tlie amount of -$50,258 53, arising as did ;dl tlie sariug'S, Iroui j 
the State Bakery; but, as the money was not needed for the beneht 
of the soldiers, it was not drawn and that amount was, ihereioK^, a j 
clear saving to the Government, Besides, there w.is dir-trilaileil i 
gratuitously to the poor families of soldiers and to refugees a large i 
(piantity of bread, amounting in value to '*i^6,354. This shows a ' 
grand total of savings to the State and General Goveriiments of 
il56,737 36. ' 

The foregoing figures attest, in the strongest possible terms, tlie i 
eSFiciency and ability of General Stonk's administration of his 
department. His watchful care and interest in our soldiers and ■ = 
their dependem. families, in the management of the "Soldiers' j 
Home" and "Ladies' Hoiue," have been already described in pre- ) 
ceeding pages. * i 

All the important business of the Quartermaster General having 
been settled and closed, General Sto.nb resigned his position on the ] 
11 ih of March, 1867. He was succeeded on the same day by I 
Peter Sen muck, late an ofFicer of the Twenty- Fourth and One 
Hundred and Forty-Third Regiments Indiana Volunteers, who is 
still in office.

STATE COMMISSARIAT. 451 

COMMISSARY GENERAL'S OFFICE. 

G E N E 11 A L M A N S U R . 

Mr. IsAiAii Mansur was appointed to this oflice on liio 15(h of 
April, 1861, and was at once compelled to proceed with all eneri^y 
to furnish commissary supplies for the thousands of troops who 
came rushing to the Capital in response to the President's (irst call. 
Of course there were no supplies on hand; all had to he purchased, 
and tlie Coqimissary (leneral, without having time to arrange^ the 
details of his department, or study regnlations, or make contracjts, 
or learn any of the intricate duties of his position, was re(|uired 
to feed a hungry horde of raw and untrained men, just from 
homes of plenty, and therefore imperious and exacting in their de- 
mands, extravagant in their exi:)ectations and altogether dainty and 
|)articular as to the iood they ate. These men had to be fed, and 
it was the desire of the State aulliorities that they should be well 
fed, and they were; but the gallant fellows knew noihiisg of army 
life, and while they did not exactly expect first-class hotel fare, they 
did expect at least to live in good "home style." If ever a poor fel- 
low unwittingly stirred up a hornet's nest about his ears without pre- 
vious notice, it was Mansur, when he took upon himself the purvey- 
orship for the military camps at Indianapolis, in April, 1861. True, 
he did the best he could under the circumstances, purchasing what 
the market afforded, and of the best quality, adding largely to the 
regular army ration, and including such extras as vegetables, dried 
fruit, pickles, etc. But the men were not easily satisfied; the meat 
was too salt; some of the dried apples were "wormy;" the beans 
were not wholly sound; and it v/as suspected that all tin's was the 
result of the Commissary's desire to impose inferior articles on 
them and put money in his ])urse. Finally it was discovered that 
the ground coffee was adulterated with burnt beans I Then the 
excitement culminated in a general clamor, which, reachiiig the 
Legislature (then in extra session), an investigating committee was 
promptly ordered, and a general overhauling of persons and papers 
ensued. Excitement ran high, and a large portion of the (ommu- 
inty, sympathizing with the soldiers, shook their heads angrily and 
declared it a burning shame that the poor boys should be put off 
with anything less than the fat of the land afforded. Soon boxes 
of roasted fowls, baked hams, fresh butter and eggs, pound cakes^ 



452 ADJUTANT general's REPOHT. 

preserves, jellies, pickles, and all inatiiier of delicacies, came to fa- 
vorites from all quarters, and many mess-tables presenred more 
the appearance of a grand old-fashioned barbacue than of the 
frugal fare eked out to soldiers in accordance with regulations. It 
is related of a good Mother who resided in one of the townships 
of Marion county, and who had a " pet '' son in the Eleventh regi- 
ment, that she sent a jug of cream to her young Napoleon for his 
coffee, and that during its transit it churned itself into delicious 
buttermilk, which was as heartily relished on its arrival in camp as 
the cream would have been. The friends at home evichntly had 
resolved that even if the boys were to be killed by the rebels, they 
should not starve to death while in their own Stat(\ At the same 
time, the provisions furnished by the Commissary were as a gen- 
eral thing of first quality, and delivered in such abundance that but 
few of the men could possibly coiisume what was apportioned to 
them. In this statement no account is talvcn of the immense 
quantity of pies, fruits, and other eatables with v,'l)ich the men 
stuUed themselves, as all raw soldiers arc wont to do, procured 
from sutler's stands and liawkers ;d)out the camp. The burly fe!- 
iovvs, instead of being starved, were surfeited. It was no uncom- 
mon thing to see soldiers pelting one another with loaves of bread, 
or with ix)tatoes or pieces of bacon — using them as missiles as 
boys use snow balls, or as Irishmen are said to use sticks, stove- 
wood and ale-bottles at a Don ny brook fair. 

The Legislative Committee investigated thoroughly, and it is 
believed impartially. They reported : " The soldiers, being fresh 
from homes of plenty, wholly unacquainted with the military ser- 
vice, and inexperienced in camp cooking and camp economy, the 
Governor and Commissary General thought best to issue extra 
rations to the troops and not confine them to regular army rations." 
The regular army ration consisted of pork, or fresh beef. Hour or 
hard bread, beans or rice, cotfee, sugar, vinegar, salt, candles and 
soap. The State rations were increased over those of the regular 
army from twenty-five to one hundred and fifty per cent, in quan- 
tity, and extras were added, consisting of potatoes, pepper, dried 
fruit, onions and other anti-scorbutics. Besides, instead of flour 
or hard-tack, fresh bakers' bread was furnished. The committee 
further found that favoritism had been shown towards some com- 
panies by employees of the Commissary, without his knowledge, 
however, and that there w^ere many well-founded complaints of 



INVESTIGATrON CLOSED. 453 

short allovvaiicos directly traccabh^ to the same t^ourco. Most 
likely the employees acted upon tlie "miller's rule" — first come 
first served — and allowed the early aj^piicants to take what they 
wanted out of the general daily supply, leaving but scanty allow- 
ances to the dilatory and less enterprising. Hungry men, or those 
who think they are or may be hungry, are apt to "lay in'' with a 
liberal hand when a tempting display of provender is placed within 
their reach. Ther(^ was evidiMitly a lack of system in the State 
C(.)mmissary Department in its first days; the employees were un- 
skilled :ind perhaps libc-ral to a fault in their distributions as long 
as their stock on hand would allow them to be liberal ; and in this 
liberality and looseness no doubt the secret lay of the favoritism 
complained of. As to the quality of the provisions the committee 
ascertained positiv(dy that the ground coffee was adulterated with 
beans, but nobody except the roaster and grinder appeared to have 
made anything by the oj)era1ion; and the committee gravelv re- 
ported that mixing roasted beans with coffee was "a criminal 
practice and crying evil that should be condemned rather than en- 
coin-aged." In this view of the matter the soldiers doubtless con- 
curred. The committee go on to say that the bacon shoulders 
were nearly universally complained off as too thin, too salty, and 
in bad condition. Evidently they were not country cured for 
family use. The beans, too, and some of the dried fruit, were un- 
satisfactory. Aft(M- setting forth the foregoing, the committee say. 
" The testimony shows that there are no further well-grounded 
complaints as to the quality of provisions." 

The report was duly communicated to tiie Legislature on the 
24ih of May. The Senate took no action, but the House, evi- 
dently swayed by the excitement and prejudices of the turbulent 
and exacting soldit^y, who thought they were being deliberately 
imposed upon aiid swindled, adopted a resolution demanding Gen- 
eral Mansur's removal. 

It may well be imagined that at this period half-rations were 
not thought of, and that the great " war measures," subsequently 
known as "sow-belly" and "hard-tack," were unknown to our 
legislators, who thus summarily determined to dispose of the Com- 
missary without ever going through the forms of a Court Martial, 
or subjecting him to interrogation or overhauling by a Court of 
Inquiry. 

General Mansur, who had accepted the position merely as a

matter of duty and whose standing as a business man of capacity 
and integrity was irnpregnably established, very gi^idly and promptly 
acted upon the not very gentle or delicate hint of the House, and 
resigned on the 29th of May, 18(31. He had paid all or nearly all 
of his bills out of his own pocket, for the State had no n)oney then 5 
he had furnished the best he could get and at reasonable prices, 
although the cofl'ee turned out to be adulterated, but the live or six 
thousand men in camp had to have ground coffee or none, as they 
had no means to parch or grind it, and as- was well remarked at 
the time, "green coiFee would have been about as useful to them 
as so much gravel." If any of the bact)!i w^as sour, tainted or 
unsound, it w.is sliovvn by the Commissary that it was not discov- 
ered in the haste of delivery, or else it Ijcconie so after it was issued. 
At this juncture a spoilt ham would have put the whole camp in a 
furv. It is due General MAXsuii to say, that he discharged his 
duties economically and conscientiously, and did all in his power 
to make the troops feel comfortable and contcMifed. That he did 
not succeed was due to the captious and com{)laining disposition 
of the raw and undicii)lined forces he had to supply, more than to 
any other cause. Six months later, when the nature and realities 
of cam[) life became to be a little blotter understood, not a com- 
plaint WH)uld have been uttered against hin^. 

G E N E R At S T N ]•]. 

Upon the resignation of General MANStJn, the vacancy was filled 
by the apjiointment of Hon. Asahkl Stone, State Senator from 
the county of Randolph, his commission bearing date May 29th, 
1861. At this time there were several regiments in camp at Indi- 
anajiolis, and others in camp at various poinls in the State, all 
which were subsisted by the Commissary General. Subsequently, 
the tln-ee months regiments were ail re-organized and some twenty 
new regiments were raised, all receiving their subsistence from the 
State. 

It is hardly probable that any troops were better or as cheaply 
subsisted, as ours were, during the time (General Stone adminis- 
tered his department. His entire study was to look after the \vel- 
fare and comfort of our volunteers; and he furnished them, as did 
his [)redecessor, many articles of food and conveniences for camp 
use, not provided for l)y the '• army regulations." So admirably 
did he discharge his duties, but few complaints were made ; and 



CAMP MORTON REBEL PRISON. 455 

when finally the General Governm"iit took charge of the troops 
and ruled them cknvn to "regnhition fare," tlie exjiression was nni- 
versal among the men, that the subsistence and comforts furnished 
by tiie State, were of better quality and much more liberally dis- 
pensed than by the Government. General Stoma's economy is 
strikingly set forth in an olTicial statement, showing the whole 
ex|)ens(^ of his department, from May 29th to September 1st, 186J, 
to have beeti $94,]5^.16, and the number of rations issued 728,000, 
being an average cost per ration of only eleven and ninety-four one 
kuiidrelh cents per ration. This included all ex|)enses for extra 
allowances, such as vegetables, condiments and camp cooking uten- 
sils, salaries of the Commissiiry and his clerks, telegraphing, olFice 
re! It, etc. 

About the first of September, 18(31, an arrr.ngement was eficcted 
by which the United States took the entire charge and control of 
subsisting the troops in Indiana during their organization and pre- 
paration i"or the field, and the State was thus relieved from that 
responsibility. 

A portion of Gener;d Stone's time, up to his appointment as 
Quartermaster General in October, 1862, was employed in visiting 
regiments in the field, and looking after their wants and interests. 
In discharge of this duty, he traveled more than five thousand 
miles by rail, and over one thousand miles on horseback, visiting 
nearly all the Indiana regiments from Pea Ridge, Arkansas, to 
Cheat Mountain in West Virginia. He assisted them in getting 
clothing, shoes and other necessary supplies; visited the hospitals, 
and aided the sick and disabled in obtaining furloughs and dis- 
charges; and brought home and distributed to the families of sol- 
diers large smns of money. By direction of the Governor, he also 
opened an office at the Capital for the assistance and information 
•of sick and disabled soldiers in the fieid and their fritMids at home, 
and from this snbse(iuently grew the general system of State Mili- 
tary Agencies, whieii prt)ved so useful chn-ing the war, and of 
which an extended account is given elsewhere in this report.

modation of the captives was Camp Morton, adjoining the city of 
Indiana|)olis, fitted up originally for State Fairs, and after the 
breaking out of the rebellion used as a general rendezvous for In- 
diana troops. The camp was well located, on high ground, with 
good drainage, a light an'l parous ^oil, an abundance of excellent 
water, well shaded, wilh very comfortable buildings lor quarters. 
Colonel RrcuARD Oaven, an experienced officer and a most huinane 
and accomplished gentleman, was then organizing the Sixtieth 
Regiment, at Evansville. He was ordered by the Governor 1o 
bring his incomplete command to Indianapolis, for prison guard- 
duty, and was placed in charge of the cainp; Kino's battery and 
the Fifty-Third Regiment of Volunteers, and some recruits assist- 
ing for a time. The United States' Quarteimaster, Ca|)1ain, now 
General Jamks A. Ekin, proceeded to erect sueli addiiional barracks 
as were required, and placed those already built in the best condi- 
tion possible for the reception of the j:)risoners. In the large agri- 
cultural and mechanical halls, butdis were arranged on the sides for 
sleeping and long tables were placed in the center for serving up 
rations. Stoves were provided and suitable bedding — clean straw 
and blankets — furnished to make every n:!an as comfortable as 
could be expected or reasonably desired under the circumstances. 
The halls being insufficient to acconimodate more than two thou- 
sand persons, other barracks were constructed out of the stock 
stalls adjoining the northern fence of the camp. These had been 
occupied by our own troo[)s the preceding summer and fall as 
quarters, and were considered (piite cozy and comfortable. They 
were remodeled for the prisoners so as to give six apartments for 
sleeping and one for eating purposes, the latter made by throwing 
two stalls into one with a table in the center, alternating along 
the whole northern line of the ground in the proportion of six 
sleeping rooms to one eating room. The usual garrison equipage 
and cooking utensils with regidation rations, plenty of dry fuel, 
etc. — precisely the same as issued to our own troops — were fur- 
nished and so disposed as to be convenient for messing. These

|/re|iarations, of course, had to be inadi' hurriedly, as oiilv >l)ort 
notice of llie arrival of tiie i)risoiiers had been giv(!i),but thev were 
imi^roved upon afrerwards, and the camp v/as made as comforiahle 
and safe as circumstances would allow. 

On the '22n(l of Fehrnary and succ.ei'd'mg nii^dit, three thousand 
seven hundred had arrived and were comfortably quartered ; besides 
some eighty oiFicers were sc^pavately provided ft)r at the barracks of 
the Nineteenth United 8tat(>s Infantry in the ciiy. About eight 
hundred prisoners were also quartered at T(jrre Haute in large ware- 
houses, the recruits of the t-Sixiy-First ("Second Irish") Regiment 
under Colonel Bkuxard F. ?vlrLLr;.\, doing guard duty. A sindlar 
lot v/as sent to LafayetTe and (juarlered in the same mann(r, the 
recruits of llie Sixty-Third Regiment, under Lieutenant Colonel 
JoHX S. WiLHA^ts, acting as guards. These arrangements were 
temporary, Camp I\Iorton not being provitled with suflicient accom- 
modations for all the prisoners at the time. They were, however, 
all sent to Indianapolis about the middle of March. Squads of 
prisoners continued to be sent during the spring and summer^ one 
thousand coming just after the i)att!e of Shiloh, and the camp 
was enlarged as tUc necessiiics dtiaanded, and made as comforta- 
ble as if the occupants were recruits for our own ariTiy. 

On arrival, especially the Fort Donelson and Fort Henry pris- 
oners, many were sick trom the terrible exposure to which thev had 
been subjected. The day after the main body came, the Surgeons 
of th(» city prescribed for niore than five hundred, and the sick list 
f(^r some time increased rapidly. The men were thinly clad, unac- 
customed to the rigors of outdoor life in winter, and had been 
poorly fed. The jn'cvailing diseases were pneumonia and diarrhea. 
Ample hospital arrangements wcvc made, and everything that kind- 
ness or humanity could suggest was done to alleviate the distressed 
condition of the prisoners. The citizens of Indianapolis, as well 
as of Terre Haute and Lafayeite, respondi'd to th(> calls of the 
authorities and did all that was possible to he done in furnishing 
suitabU; nourishment, delicacies and attention. Many very estima- 
ble ladies and gentlemen volunteered tiieir services as nurs(>s and 
attendants, and prominent members of the medical profession were 
])articularly kind and attentive. Kuildings wererentc-d outside the 
camp and converted into inlirmaries, with every convenience and 
comfort ie([uir(.'d by the sick. Dt-spite all these ellbrts, the mor- 
tality was frightful during the first month or two. All who died 



458 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

were decentlv buried in plain wooden coffins, in the public ctniie- 
teries, and a record made of their names, regiments, etc., for the 
information of relatives and friends. After the weather nioderated 
and grew warm a marked change took place in the general health 
of the prisoners and but few deaths occurred. 

The excitement consequent upon the sudden influx of so large a 
numl)er of rebels, taken in arms against their Government, was in- 
tense, not from a disposition to taunt or injure thcin, but from sim- 
|>le cnriosit^r. ](- could not have risen to a higher pitch had a half 
dozen ship loads of Feejee islanders, or Chinese coolies been sud- 
denly discharged in our midst. The war itself was a novelty, and 
up to that time tlie people had never laid eyes upon a geiuiine 
fighting " Secesh." A few extracts from th<> Indianapolis Jot'.rnal 
of the 20th of February, are here giveni as expressing the general 
sentiments of the community, and the generous and even kindly and 
humane feelings entertained toward these prisoners. 

February 20, under the isead of " Our Prisoners and Ourselves," 

the Journal said : 

" For the sake of those who either honestly l)elieve they were menaced with 
oppression by the Government, or have been e(impelle<! in spite of their convic- 
tions to join the rebel army, we ought to spare the piisoners all exhil'ition of 
triumph that would make us appear malignant in their eyes, or little in our 
own. We owe it to ourselves to show them that our triumph is but the real- 
ization of well-fixed hopes, and not the wild exultation of men unexi)ectedly 
successful and unaccountably relieved from a deadly peiil. We who liave al' 
ways believed that the rebellion could and should be put down, owe it to the 
justice and strength of our cause that our enemy shall never see in unseemly 
rejoicing over their calamity that we have done more than we aimed to tlo. 
We have ■int. We have done only whit we have taken months of weary }irep. 
aration to gain, and what was almost as sure to follow as any efiect in natuie 
follows a cause. We have abundant cause for congi'atulation, none tor bois" 
terous exultation over the fallen. What a proper sense of our position and 
cause demands, humanity doubly demands. These men, misled as m:.iny 
have been, were but a few months ago fiiends and neighbors. Let us bear a 
memory of the past if they do not, -and add no bitterness to their hard fate by 
unkind taunts or unfeeling treatmen t. Let us receivt; ihem as the Tnuiessee- 
ans received Dr. Fletcher when he was captured, with no shouts, no taunt.?, 
but in silence, and with more of pity than triumph in our acts. It will do 
us no good to crow over them, and it will merely embitter their feelings toward 
us Considerate treatment will open the eyes of the deluded, and strv-ngihen 
the loyalty of the loyal. It is right and manly for us, and it is best, lor the 
cause we love, and the future we are so rapidly approaching." 

Again, on the 25th of the same month, the same paper, after hav- 
ing noticed the arrival of some 4,800 prisoners, said: 



KIND TREATMENT OF THE SICK. 459 

" We are pleased to note the fact that the prisoners of war were allowed to 
pa-s through the city on their way to the place of their coniinemeiit. without 
any unbecoming manifestations being made against them by our citizen-. No 
in>ult by word or deed was offered by any one, V)Ut on the otiier hand, 
they were all treated civilly, if any acts of indiscretion were committed, it 
was on the part of those who, thoughtlessly, engaged some of the prisoners in 
argument as to the just'ce of slavery and the causes of the war. It is well 
enough to disabuse their minds as to any prejudice they may have as to the 
objects of the war, and the intentions of our government, but this can bi^ done 
without entering into needless arguments. They do more harm than good, 
and if visitors are to be allowed to see the prisoners, it would be well (enough 
to liave the guards instructed to put a stop to all contioversies of the kind 
which may arise between visitors and prisoners. We trust our ollicers will 
see that it is done " 

111 regard lo the >ick, the Journal, of t!ie 4tli of March, coiiiaincd 
the following: 

"Of the sick prisoners at tlie military j)rison and hospitals of this city, the 
greater proportion are Mississippians Tiiough some of tiie Tennesseans and 
Kentucl<;ians are quite ill, theii- maladies are not so deeji seated as those of 
the First, Fourth, anil Twenty Si.\th Mississippi prisoners. These regiments 
were at Fort Henry, and at the time of the attack made upon it l)y Com- 
modore FooTi-; tliey retreated so rapidly that they left beliind most of their 
baggage, including ni.un articles of clothing much needeJ for their comlort. 
(hi arriving at Fort Douelson th^'y wtM'e (thinly chul as th(\v wei'e,) \y\i at 
wor'c immediately upon the fortitications, and were compelled to labor upon 
the trenches constantly. During the siege of the Fort, they lay in the ditches 
and rifle pits, day and night. .Such exposure would produce disease in llie 
ranl\s of the most able bodied soldiers, but vviien iucui'red by men of feeblo 
constitutions, the seeds of disease are so firmly planted that no medical skill 
can remove them. Of the latter class are those now in the hospitals Many 
arc under eighteen years of age, and the larg? majority are persons of feeble 
constitution. They receive the b^-it medical treatment, and the nursing care 
of female attendants; but in many cases, the best of attention cannot save 
them from the grasp of death \Vh it punishment is in store for the leading 
rebels who have been the cause of thus desolating the firesides of many 
a Southern home? That it will be a terrible one, we cannot doubt Hun- 
dreds of happy homes have been made houses of mourning by such acts of 
inlmman treatment of the soldiers of the ('onfe<lerate aruiy as that meolioned 
aViovi' Boys have been induced to enlist in the service and taken away from 
mo'liers wlio have become heartbroken — and died. The prejudices- of lathers 
of families liave been arous(>d against the Northern people, by systematic and 
re|)eated lying, until they have left all behind to fight against imaginary 
evils, to be t:dc*-n prisoners and die in a Union hospital surrounded by 
ladies and gentleman, who give the lie by every avUion and word to the foul 
slamlers heaped upon them by secession libelers. 

Jt is hardly nece,ss:ary to add to these e.xtraets. The newspapers 



460 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

of the day were filled with interesting accounts of the prisoners, 
and of tile excellent nccomiuod'ations afforded to those wlio were 
well, and the care and kindness bestowed upon tliose wlio were 
TiK-k. When the fact was JDronglit to the knowledge of Governor 
Morton, tliat about three hundred of the Fort Donelson captives 
were deficient in clothing, lie telegraphed the Secretary of War for 
orders fo have their wants snpplied by the U. S. Quartermaster at 
Indianapolis, and the order was promptly given. After that when- 
ever a prisoner needed clothes, shoes or whatever else that was 
essential fo his health or comfort, the Government snpplied it. 
The friends of prisoners were allowed to send them anything but 
luxuries, and the things sent, even money, were distributed as their 
wants required with scrupulous fidelity. 

A deep solicitude was felt in the South for the welfare of the 
prisoners, and frequent ]iersonal visits and enquiries by letter were 
made by their friends with the view to add to their comfort. The 
following letter very clearly explains the treatment the men 
received : 

Ai'JCTAXT Ge\krai,'s Okfk'e, 

Indianapolis, February 2Slh, 1862. 
Kev. LivixGsiTON Wkli-s of Louisville, 

Secretary on hchalf of CominiMio))^ etc. 

Sir: In response to your communication addressed to Captain Greene, 
Assistant Adjutant General at Louisville, and by him referred to this dt-part- 
ment, 1 am instructed to submit the following statement relative to the Rebel 
prisoners confined here : 

Of prisoners there are about 4,000 here, 800 at Lafayette and 500 at Terre 
Haute, all placed in comfortable quarters, under safe guard. Their quarters 
are well warmed with large stoves and have bunks furnished with clean straw. 
They receive the same suVjsistance in every respect, as our own troops, con- 
i-isiing of full rations of coffee, fresh bread, n^eat, beans, hominy, rice, pota- 
toes, etc. — indeed everything authorized liy our Army Regulations. Some 
have received blankets and clothing from the U. S. Quartermaster, Captain 
Ekix, and others will be supplied as their wants may require. They are sup- 
l>lied with materials and allowed to write brief letters to their friends and 
families under the inspection of those in command. The sick are placed in 
comfortable hospitals in good clean beds and receive proper subsistence and 
medical treatment from excelleBt Physicians assisted by prisoners detailed as 
nurses. 

Rigid rules have been promulgated for the safety of the prisoners and to 
prevent any intercourse with them. None will be admitted to the camp 
under any pretext whatever. Every attention will be paid to the prisoners 
that their necessities and well being demand ; any thing further will not be 
allowed. They, and their friends, must reflect that they are Rebel prisoners 



CAMP SAVINGS APPLIED TO BENEFIT OP PUIS0NRK8. 461 

and as such oimnot be allowed the luxuries and comforts incident to a peacp- 
ful home. Any or all contrihutions of a pr-)i)er chacacter that may be made 
f'^r the .sick prisoners in the Hospitals will be received and properly applied, 
under the directions of tlie Physicians in charge. All such thiuirs slmuld be 
addressed to "J. U. V.uk.v, (Quartermaster General, Indiana," and the con- 
tents plainly endorsed on the packages. 

By^^hder; Very rei«pectfully, 

(Signed,) Laz No!!I>e, Adjutant General, Imiiana. 

l^ven the excess of ration.s and the saving.s of Hour by means of 
a bakery wljieh was established at Ca'.np Morton, were applied to 
the benefit of the prisoners, and the Government took the mosl 
kindly interest in securing for them all the comforts their necessi- 
ties required. The following letter will fully explain this: 

"Office of Commiss.\ry Gexeual of Prisoxku.s, 
March 23d, 1802. 

"CArT.iiN: — -Please give your attention to the following matters relatitig to 
the Prisoners of War: 

"See that the Hos})itals are furnished with under clothing for the sick, and 
sheets and pillow-cases sufHcient to insure cleanliness and comfort. 

'' Have a careful account of the rations due the Hospital, and the rations 
drawn, kept, so that the sick men have the advantage of the -savings, anci 
with the fund purchase all articles that may in any way be of benefit to the 
sick. 

" I wish the Commissary at the camp, to withhold any part of the rations 
which may be in excess over what is really necessary, and semi-monthly pay 
to Colonel Owhn, the value of the rations so retained, thus forming a fund 
to be disbwrsed by the Colonel for the benefit of the prisoners. 

"Many articles which are not furnished by the Government may be pur 
cha-t d with this fun I, such as brooms, buckets, table furniture, Sic, &c. (>f 
course it will be required that a careful account of receipts and expenditures, 
with the bills, will be kept by the Colonel. 

As soon as practicable, put the prisoners in tents, from one building at a 
time, and rearrange the bunks so as to give more room and more light, mak- 
ing the barracks as comfortable as possible without incurring but little ex- 
pense. 

"Put a second floor, or half floor, as may be found most expedient, in th*> 
receiving hospital at the camp, to divide it into two stories, and give larger 
accommodation to the sick. 

'Very respectfully, your obedient servant, 

W. n0FF.M.A.X, 

Lieut. Col. Eighth Regiment, Com'y Gen'l of Prisoners. 
Captain James A. Ekin, Assistant Quartermaster \J. S. A., IndianapoHs, In- 
diana." 

A nuinber of sick prisoners were allowed to be removed to pri- 
vate residences, where Ihcy could bo cared for to better advantage

than in the hospitals; and on one oceasion the Surgeon in charge 
of the camp certified that a jn-isoncr would die of consumplion, if 
kept in confinement, who was thereupon discharged on parole, upon 
application of the Governor, by order of Major General Halleck. 

The prisoners themselves, very generally, were profuse in com- 
mendations of their treatment, and when the time came for their 
exchange, many of ihem preferred taking the oath of allegiance, and 
remaining North, than to be sent back to light against a govern- 
ment that had manifested such kindness and magnanimity towards 
them. In contrast with the horrors of Libby, Belle Isle, Ander- 
.son^'ille and oilier Southern prison pens, where thousands of brave 
Union men were starved and murdered, the history of Camp Mor- 
ton is as Heaven is to Hell. 

Colonel Owen remained in command until the 10th of June, 
when his regiment was ordered to the field, and its place supplied 
by a force of the Indiana L(^gion, which was mustered into the ser- 
vice of the United States for three montlis, as the Fifty-fourth and 
Fifty-fifth Regiments Indiana Volunteers. Colonel David Gar- 
r.ANn Rose, of the Fifty-fourth, was made Commandant, and dis- 
charged the responsible duties of his position to the satisfaction of 
the authorities, and with entire acceptability to the prisoners. A 
general exchange was effected in August, 1862, and the camp was 
closed as a prison soon after. A few guerrillas \vere subsequently 
sent in to be taken care of, by the recruiting officers stationed there 
during the fall and W' inter of that year. 

In the Vicksburg campaign, 1863, a large number of prisoners 
were captured, and several thousand were sent to be confined at 
Camp Morton. Others arrived from various quarters, and from 
that time on till the close of the war the number confined ranged 
from three to six thousand. The camp was refitted, comfortable 
hospitals and other buildings vvere built, the force in charge as 
gijards being the Fifth Regiment Veteran Reserve Corps, under 
command of Brevet Brigadier General A. A. Stevens. The State 
autliorities not being charged with the care and custody of the 
prisoners after the year 1862, further account of Camp Morton 
would be supeifluous in this report.

along the W"estern Maryland line t(^ the Pennsylvania line, nnd 
th'-iice northerly to the northeast corner of McLean covrnty in 
Pennsylvania. 

On the 6th of June, 1861, by General Order No. 30, Adjutant 
General's OfRce, War Department, the State of Missom-i was ad-

mand of Brigadier General O. M. Mitchell, U. S. Volunteers, 
with Headquarters at Cincinnati. 

On the 9th of November, 1861, under General Orders No. 97, 
A. G. O., War Department, the Department of the Ohio was made

of Kentucky east of the Cumberland river, and the State of Ten- 
nessee. Brigadier General D. C. Buell was assigned to the com- 
mand of the same with Headquarters at Louisville.

A PROCLAMATION. 

Whereas, The laws of the United States have been for some time past, and now are, opposed, and 

tlie execution thereof obstructed, in the States of South Carolina, Georgia, Alal)amii, Florida, 

Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, by combinations too powerful to bo suppressed by the 

ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or by the powers vested in the marshals by law: 

Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, in virtue of the power in 

me vested by the Constitution and the laws, have thought fit to call forth, and hereby do call forth, 

tin? militia of the several States of the Union, to the aggregate number of seventy-five thousand, in 

order to suppress Siiid combinations, and to cause the laws to be duly executed. • 

The details for this object will be immediately communicated to tlie State authorities through the 
War Department. 

I appeal to all loyal citizens to favor, facilitate, and aid this effort to maintain the honor, the 
integrity, and the existence of our National Union, and the perpetuity ot popular government, and 
to redress wrongs already long enough endured. 

I deiin it proper to say that the first service assigned to the forces hereby called forth will proba- 
bly be to repossess the forts, places, and property which have been seized from the Union; and in 
every event the utmost care will be observed, consistently with the objects aforesaid, to avoid any 
devastation, any destruction of, or interference with, property, or any disturbance of peaceful citi- 
zens, in any part of the country. 

And I hereby command the persons composing the combinations aforesaid, to disperse, and retire 
peaceably to their respective abodes within twenty days from this date. 

Deeming that the present condition of public affairs presents an extraordinary occasion, I do 
hereby, in virtue of the power in me vested by the Constitution, convene both Houses of Congress. 
Siaiators and Representatives are therefore summoned to assemble at their respective chambers, at 
twelve o'clock noon, on Thursday, the f mrth day" of July next, then and there to consiiler and 
determine such measures as, in their wisdom, the public safety and interest may seem to demand.

A PROCLAMATION. 

Whereas, By tlie act approved July 4, 18n4, entitled "An act fiirtlior to rejjulate and prnvidc for 
the enrolling ami calling out tin- national forces, ami fur other puri>iises,'" it is proviilfd that the 
President of the United States may, " at his discretion, at »ny time hereafter call f'oi- any nuniher 
fif men, as volunteers, for the respective ti'rnis of one, two, and three years, for military si^r- 
vice," and " that in case the quota, or any part thereof, of any town, township, ward of a city, 
precinct, or eUction district, or of a county not so sul>diviiled, shall nut he filled wilhin the 
space of fifty days after such rail, then the President shall immediately order a draft for coie 
year to till such quota, or any part thereof, wliicli may be unfilled ;" and 
W'HEitKAS, Tlie new enrolment hcretufore ordered is so far con)pli'te<i as that the aforementionr-d 
act of Congress may now be put in ojieration, foi recruiting and keeping up the strength of the 
armies in the field, for garrisons, and such military operations as noiy lie required fur the 
purpose of suppressing the rebellion and restoring the authority of the I'nited Matis Govern- 
ment in the insurgent States. 
Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, do issue this my call for fivi; 
liundred thousand volunteers for the military service ; provided, nevertheless, that this call shall be 
reduced by all credits which may be established under section eight of the afoiesaid act, on account 
of persons who have entered the naval service during the jiresent rcbelliim, and by credits for men 
furnishfd to the military service in excess of calls heretofore made. "Volunteers will be accepted 
undir this call, for one, two, or three years, as tliey may idect, and will be entitled to the bounty 
provided V>y the law for the period of service lor which they enlist. 

And I her(diy proclaim, order, and direct, tliat immediately after the fifth day of Siptember, 
lSt;4, being fifty days from the date of this call, a draft for troops to serve for one year shall be IokI 
in every town, township, w.ard of a city, precinct, or election district, or count j' not so sulidivided, 
to fill tlie quota which shall be assigned to it under ibis call, or any part theri'of which may be 
unfilled by volunteers, on the said fifth day of Septiniber, lSii4. 

In testimony whereof, I have hereucto set my hand, and caused the sml of tlir T'oited Stati-s 
, —^ V to be affixed. Pone at the City of \Vashington this eighteenth ila> of .Inly, in the 

^ L. s. [• year of our Lord one thousand eight hun(lri<l and si,\ty-four, and of the indcpeiid-

SEVENTH CALL— DECEMBER 10, 18C4. 

FOR THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND MEN— ONE, TWO, OR THREE YEARS. 

BY THE PRESIDENT OF/TIIE UNITED ST.\TI".S OF AMEItllA. 

A PROCLAMATION. 

Whereas, By the act approved July 4th. 1804, entitled " An Act to regul.-ite and provide for tho 
enrcdiing and calling out the national forces, and for other purposes," it is provided that the 
President of the United States may, "at his discretion, at any time hereafter, call for any 
number of men, as volunteers, for the respective terms of one, two, and three years, for mili- 
tary service," and " that in case tiie quota, or any part thereof, of any town, township, ward 
of a, city, precinct, or election district, or of any county not so snlidivide<l, shall not bi^ filled 
within the space of fifty days after such call, then the President shall immediately order a draft 
for one year to fill sucli quota, or any part tliereof which may be unfilled." 
And Whereas, By the credits allowed in accordance witli the act of Congress on llic call for five 
hundred thousand men, made July 18, 18(;4, the number of men tube obtaiii-d nmler that rail 
was redu-eed to two hundred and eighty thousand, and whereas, tho operations i-.f the enemy ui 
certain States h;ive rendered it impracticable to procure from them their full quotas of troops 
under said calls, and whereas, from the foregoing causes, but two hundred and forty thonsan.i 
men have been put iiito the army, navy, and marine corps, under the said call of July 18, 18U4, 
leaving a deficieiiev on that call of two hundred and sixty thousand, (200, 000). 
N. V,', therefore, I, .\'braham Lincoln, President of the United States of America, in order to sup- 
ply the aforesaid deficiency, and to provide for the casualties in the military and naval service of 
the United States, do issue"this my call for three hundred thousand (:;0o.ouo) volunteers, to serve for 
one, two, or three years. The quotas of the States, Districts, ami sub-districts, under this call, 
will be assigned by the War Department, through tho Bureau of I'rovost Blarshal General of the 
UnitiMl Slates, and "in case the quota, or any part thereof, of any town, townsliip, ward of a city, 
precinct, or election district, or of any county not so sub-divided, shall not be filled" be'fore the fif- 
teenth day of February, eighteen hundred and sixty-five, then a draft shall be made to fill such 
quota, or "any part thereof, under this call, which may be unfilled on said fifteenth day of Feb- 
ruary, 1804. 

In testimony Tv-hereof I have hereunto set my band, and caused the seal of the United 

States to be affixed. Done at the City of Washington, this nineteenth day of li'- 

i L. s. [• cember, in the year of Our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-four, and of

PRESENTATION OF INDIANA BATTLE FLACS. 

soldiers' CKI.KIiKATlOX, JTI-Y 4, 1866. 

In pnrsuaiico of a call sikhciI Iiy a nunilior of distinguislied ludiana Soldiers, a large meeting of 
tlic lirave vetiraiis nf the war of the Ifcbellioii, fVom al! jiarts rf the State, was held at Indianai)oli» 
(.n the Itli of .'nlv, LsH'i, for the purpose of celehratiiig the Ninetieth Anniversary of American Inde- 
p luh nee, and formerly ]ire>.entirig to the Governor, for perniament jireservation in the State 
( iipitol, the scarred battle-Hags home hy the Indiana Regiments and Batteries during tlie war. 

The f(dlowing account of the celebration and presentation ceremonies, witli the eloquent and 
l)atriotic addrrsses made on the occasi(/n, form an interesting chapter iu the military aunals of 
the State. 

[From tlie Indianaiiolig Journal.] 

The celebration in this city of the Ninetieth Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence of 
the Colonies from the Crown, proclaimed hy the Continental Congress ninety years ago, in the city 
and spirit of brotherly lov>-, was a s])lendid ])ageant — an indi-'iintable evidi'iice that in the people 
of Indiana the same spirit that animateil the fifty-six franiers of that immortal document is a life- 
giving principle, an hereditary transmitted (juality that will go down with increased intensity to 
tlie latest posterity. Indiana yields to no State in these, now firmly, i'nited States, in devotion to 
the country, and in the celebrations all over the I'nion day before yesterday, that made the land 
vocal with the sound of rejoicing, the spectacle here at the capital, was, we are confident, surpassed 
by tliat of no other State. How rapid, how grand and glorious has been th'' growth of tliis frw 
Kepublic. The birth of the United States scarcely ante-dates a time within the memory of men 
still living. The spirit wliidi broke the shackles that bound a feeble pt ople to the crown of England 
has peopled this broad domain witli a wonderfully enterprising and patriotic population. .\nd as 
the surrender of Cornwallis and the treaty of peace were to our revolutionary fathers, the opening 
of a new national era, so was the close of the late rebellion the oi)ening of a new era in tlie more 
advanced life of the nation. There were those who believed that our growth was too precocious ; 
tiiat there was in it a weakness of fibre unfavorable to national longevity; but the late terrible 
struggle for the nation's life showed this to be a delusion. As the birth of the nation was from out 
the throes of a struggle at great disadvantage against foreign domination, so the war against self 
destruction was a struggle that no government, not born and of the people, could have sntcessfully 
maile. The first was the birth, the latter the coronation of freedom. 

Day before yesterday was the second celebration of our new and better freedom, atid it was such 
a celebration as made glad the heart of every citizen. No extraordinary effort ha<l been made to 
call forth that magnificent out jiotiring — the unequivocal evidence of the patriotism of the Iloosier 
people. No general concert of action was had throughout the State to stimulate that immense 
attendance. The ])eoplo came of their own accord — the people alone were present in power. 

Tin; CKi.Kur.ATiox. 

Nature seeni'd to be in accord and sympathy with the common impulse, and the sun of the 
Fourth arose in an unclouded sky. The god of nature liad allayed tlio dusty streets tlio night 
before by several showers of rai'i, cooling the air to a jdeasant temperature. The night before the 
city was crowded with people, who had taken the precaution to avoid the impending jam of the fol- 
lo-.ving morning. Al early dawn the pent-up spirit began to break forth, and the streets resounded 
with the sound of pyrotechnics and the merry crowd. 

I'KConATIONS. 

Duihlings, public offices, and private residences, by a common imimlse, bad been profusely deco- 

t at'd with the American Flag and other patriotic devices. To find a building without these di-cora- 

tions was a rare exception— the exceptions were confined to extremely few persons, who take no 

interest in our national grandeur, an<l are indiflerent to the returning anniversary. - •■■ 

The street cars were covered all over with the national bunting, as was al-o , 
especially, tlie most [ironiinent pulilic buildings, and the State House grouuds and stage, where was 
alciost a continuous cluster of "s^arry flags." 



174 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 



THE CROWD 

continued to increase as morning grew into day. The resident population turned out en masse, r.uri 
the sidewalks of the principal streets, and the public grounds were one n:ass of moving Immunity. 
As train after train came in, delivering its load of human freiglit, it seemed as if the population 
of the whole State was about to be emptied into the capital. It is estimated that not less than fifty 
fliousand people participated iu the celebi-ation of the day. At eight o'clock the deep mouthed 
cannon gave formal notice that the ceremonies of the day were about to begin, and the vast mass 
began to assume shape and order. 

THE SOLDIERS' CELEBRATION. 

It was inteniled that the prominent feature of the celebration should be a grand display of the 
soldier-citiKeus of tlie St.ite, that noble body of men who came forward in the hour of the country's 
8ore distress, and offered their lives that the nation might live. It has previously been announced 
that on this day a special invitation was extended to Indiana soldiers to come to the capital and be 
the heroes of the occasion as they have proveo themselves heroes in the late protracted struggle. 
Tliey had been invited to come here and march once more under their war-worn and tattered regi- 
mental banners, as the State's chiefest pride, and formerly deliver to the custody and keeping of 
the State these precious relics. 

Wliile it is to be regretted that tlie ind«.= tiial interests at home in this tlie busiest season of the 
year, prevented many from attending, still tliey turned out in large force ami made .-in imposing 
display. 

Most of the regiments were represented in the procession. The battle flags of the various Indiana 
regiments wore carried to the Union Depot by a special committee and delivered over to their former 
guardians when thej' arrived. It had been originally intended that the procession should be 
formed in three grand divisions, but the throng became so great about the depot and vicinity that 
it was found impo.ssible to conform to this i)art of the programme, and the procession was formed 
in one monster column under the Chief JIarshalship of Major General R. 8. Fostkr, assisted by 
Marshals General George F. MrGiNXis, General Fred. Knekklek, and Colonel S.vmuel Merkill. 
Every branch of the service, infantry, cavalry, and artillery, was represented. The procession 
presented a grand spectacle. It called to mind vividly the recollections of the war and the prodi- 
gality of the patriotism of the people of Indiana. It told of the self denial and self sacrifice of 
our people, and the sp<'Ctator could not but feel an unwonted pride at seeing the military resources 
and strengtli of the State thus presented before him in a diaramie view. 

shekjian's iiu.mmeus. 

An amusing feature of the procession was a large party of troopers, dressed in quaint attire, 
typifying the historic " bummers" of Sherman's army, which attracted a deal of attention, and 
was provocative of much merriment. They were the representatives of a class of men who " sub- 
sisted on the country" in Sherman's circumambulation of Sccessia. The Bummer may have 
appeared grotesque in tliis day's paraile, the typification may have appeared amusing, but the real- 
ity was every inch a soldier, and an object (jf terror to the natives of Georgia anil South Carolina. 

THE JHiSIC. 

The procession was preceded by the Crawfordsville Silver Band, and our city bands, who made 
the musical feature fully up to the standard of the ceremonies generally. 

In addition to the splendid music discoursed by the bauds, a choir of gentlemen and ladies, under 
the leadership of Professor S. \V. St.\nage, sang the national anthem of " America," "Star Span- 
gled Banner," "Flag of Our Union," etc. Tlie column moved east on Washington street to East 
street, north on East street to Ohio street, west on Oliio to Pennsylvania street, south on Pennsyl- 
vania street to Washington street, and west on Washington street to State House Sijuare. On 
arrival at the State House Square, the flags were deposited on the Platform. 
The exercises at the State House Square were as follows : 

1st. Music by the Crawfordsville Silver Band. 

2d. Prayer by Kev. A. C. Allen. 

;;d. National Hymn — " Bly Country 'tis of Thee." 

4;th. Heading the Declaration of Independence by Cajitain R. \. Guodwin. 

.'jth. Music by the Band. 

Gth. Presentation Address by Major General Lewis Wallace. 

7th. Govenor Morton's Response.

8th. Music by the Band. 

!)th. Reading the histories of the ditferpnt flags. 

10th. National Ode. 

11th. Miisic by the Band. 

12th. Beudiction. 
On arrival at the Capitol Grounds, it was found th.-Jt the multitude had alre.idy preceded tliein. 
However, the Marshals caused an opening to be mado, and the regimental organizations crowded 
around the stand. 

THE SPECTACLE 

at this Stage was grand and imposing. The whole eastern half of the ground was packed with an 
eager, interested multitude, witli the soldiers in front of the speaker's stand, wliile a large number, 
hopeless of getting within ear-shot of the stand, formed in groups in the western portion of the 
grounds. From the stand the m.iss of human nature seemed almost to be fused into one, dotted 
thickly with flags ami other devices. It was a splendid audience that was addressed from that 
stand — an honor to the speakers. Silence at length being secured, the assemblage was called ti> 
order, when the Kev. A. C. Ai.len oflered a fervent prayer to the Throne of Grace, imploring his 
guardian spirit to preside over the future of the country, and asking His blessing to rest on all. 
After the singing of the National Hymn, the Declaration of Independence was read, in a clear and 
intelligible manner, liy Captain R. A. GoonwiN. Major Geoeral Lew. Wali..\('E then followed in 
an exceedingly able and powerful address of over an hour in length, presenting in behalf of tho 
liidiana Regiments, these flags to the State through Governor Morton : 

ADDRESS OF MAJOR-GENERAL WALLACE. 

(JiiVEiixoR. — The Soldiers' Association of the State have had it in mind to signalize in some espec- 
ial manner, the happy conclusion of the recent civil war. This tliey have thought to accomplish 
by a ceremonious return of the colors with which their respective commands were entrusted ; anil, 
not without a dash of poetry, they have chosen this as a proper day for the cidebration. For them, 
therefore, and for tho great body of comrades, present and absent, whom they rejiresent 1 ha\e 
the honor to give you back their flags, with the request that measures be taken by the next General 
Assembly to preserve them immemorially. 

Sir, I shall never forget my first interview with yon upon the snbject of the war. It was a day or 
tv.o after the fall of Sumpter. The National (iovernment had not recovered from that (blow ; wi- 
were not better oft'; you tobi me that the President had called for six regiments of volunteers from 
ln<liana ; you asked me to accept the .■Adjutant Goneralcy, and help you raise them, and I agreed t.'. 
It maybe to our shame now, but truth requires the admission that we spoke of the matter then 
as one of doubt; the President hoped, yet feared; and so did we. Ah, sir, tliat there should bavi! 
been a suspicion of our people! or a dread that they would fail their (Iovernment! Yet bad :i 
prophet told us then what proportions the war would assume; what other (juotas it woubl demand, 
what others exhaust, I much fear we would not have been stout enough to jiut despair aside. Now, 
I congratulate you upon the firmness with which you did your duty ; I congratulate you upon hav- 
ing a State whose people never failed their Governor. I return to you the colors of thirteen regi- 
ments of cavalry, twenty-six batteries, and one hundred and fifty-six regiments of infantry. 
Have I not reason to congratulate you upon the glory accpiired by our native State during your ad- 
ministration—a glory which you in a great part share — a glory which will live always? 

Most of the flags which I return to-day are grandly historical. I would like to "tell their stories 
separately, because it would so much enhance the renown of the brave men to whom they belonged ; 
that, however, is impossible; time forbids it; or rather it is forbidden by the nu?nber of flags them- 
sidves. As the next best way to gratify curiosity concerning them, it is arranged that the sacred 
relics shall each be displayed before the audieuce, accompanied with a recital of tho principal bat- 
tles in which they figured. Still, I must be permitted to indulge in a kind of a recapitulatory ref- 
erence to them. There may be some citizen present who does not realize how necessary his State 
was in the great work of suppressing the Rebellion — perhaps, some soldier, who has yet to learn 
wliat a hero he really was. 

When the war began, the military fame of Indiana, as you remember, was nnder a clond. It was 
in bad repute, particularly with the Southern people. Why? It is unnecessary to say. Such was 
the case. I allude to it now to call attention to tho fact that those sections in which our repute 
was worst, bmir to-day the deepest marks of our armed presence. A little over five years ago, on 
tliis ver.y spot, a gallant Regiment was sworn to "remember Buena Vista;" to-day it can be said 
witl) a trutli, whicli tlie long array of storied flags shortly to bo displayed will (doquently attest, the 
slander at Buena Vista has l)een more than remembered — it is avenged. By a chance, much giumbl.-d 
at in the beginning by the soldiers, much complained of yet by the liistoriau, whoso narrative it 
-adly complicates, our regiments were more scattered than those of any other .State. Indeed, it is 
not saying too much that there has not been in tho five years, a millitary Department without one 
or more of them ; nor an .\rmy Corps that has not borne some of them on its rolls ; nor a great bat- 
tle in which some of them have not honorably participated. As true lovers of our brave native 
State, let us rejoice at tliat distribution. It enableil our soldiers to serve the I'nion everywhere^ 
it enabled them to convince all foemen, as well as all friends, of their courage, enduranci', and 
jiatriotism — it was the means by which tho name of Indiana is, or will bo, written upon every bat- 
tle monument — through its chances, every victory, wherever or by whomsoever won, in any degree 
illustrative of Northern valor, is contributiV(! to her glory. 

Three of our regiments took part in the first battle of th(! war; while another, within view of 
the Rio Grande, fought its very last battle. Tho first regiment, under ButliU', to land at the wharf 
at New Orleans, was the ilst Indiana. Tho first flag over the bloody pitrapet at Fort Wagner, in 
trout of (Charleston, was that of the Ktth Indiana. The first to show their stars from the embat- 
tled crest of Mission Ridge, were those of the "iith and Siith Indiana. Two of pur regiments helped 
storm Fort McAllister, down by Savannah. Another was amongst the first iu the asgaulting lin

;-it Fort Fishfir. Another, converted into engineers, built all Sherman's bridges from Chattanoonja 
to Atlanta, from Atlanta to the sea, and from the sea northward. Another, in line of battle on 
the beach of Hampton Koads, saw the frigate Cumberland sink to the harbor's bed rather than 
strike her fiag ; and, looking from the same place the next day, cheered as never men cheered at 
MJglit of the same Merrimac beaten by a single guu in the turret of Worden's little Monitor. Otliers 
;iided in the overthrow of the tiavages, red and rebel, at Pea Kidge, Mo. Three from Washington, 
across tlie Peninsula, within sight of Richmond evacuated, to Harrison's Landing, followed IVIc- 
f'lellan to his fathomless fall. Five were engaged in the salvation of Washington at Antietam. 
Four were with Unrnsiue at Fredericksburg, where some of Kimball's Hoosiers were picked up 
iyitig nearer than all others tv> the pitiless embrasures. Five were at Chancellorsville where Stone- 
wall Jackson took victory out of Hooker's hand and carried it with him to his grave. Six were 
almost annihilated at Gettysburg. One, an infantry regiment, marcheil nearly ten thousand miles; 
literally twice around the rebellion, (ighting as it went. Four were part of tiie besom with which 
Sheridan swept the Shenandoah Valley. Finally, when Grant, superceding HaJleck, transferred 
his hcadTuarters to the East, and began the last grand march against Richmond, four of our regi- 
ments, joined sooJi after by another, followed him faithfully, leaving their dead all along the way — 
in the Wilderiiess, at Laurcd Hill, at Spottsylvania, at Po River, at North Anna River, at Bethseda 
Church, at Cold Harbor, in front of Petersburg, down to Clover Hill — down to the final halt in the 
war in which Lee yielded uj) the sword of the rebellion. 

Sir, it is my opituou that our regiments were all equally brave and patriotic ; that some achieved 
a wider distinction tliaii others, was because their opportunities were better and more frequent. 
Siicli being my bi lief, 1 hope to be forgiven if I stop here and make especial mention of the 7th, 
l:'tb, l4th, r.Uh and •ililk regiments. Theirs was a peculiar lot; throughout the war they served in 
the East as our representatives ; commanded entirely by Fastern officers, who were naturally less 
interested! in them than in their own State's peoph?, it was their fate to bo little tientioned ill 
lepovts, and seidoin if ever heard of in Eastern papers. In fact, they were our lost children ; as 
cfteotually lost in the mazes of the great Eastern campaigns as De Soto and his people were lost in 
the wildern(*ss of the New World, and, like tliem again, wandering here and there, never at rest, 
seldom halting, except to fight. The survivors — ahis ! that they should come back to us so broken 
and so few — were in the service nearly five years, and of that time they lived quite three years on 
;he march, in the trenches, in ritle pits, "on the rough edge of battle," or in its very heart. 

But, sir, most of the {lags returned to you, belong to regiments whose theater of operations can- 
not well be territorially described ; whose lines of march were backward and forward through fifteen 
States of the Union. If one seeks the field in which the power of our State, as well as the valor of 
our people, had the finest exemplification, he must look to the West and South. I will not say tliat 
Indiana's coirtributious to tlie cause were indispensable to its final success. 27(0/ would be unjust 
to States more populous and wealthy, and equally devoted. But I will say tliat her quotas pre- 
cipitated the result ; without them tlie war might yet be in full progress and doubtful. Let us con- 
sider this proposition a moment. At Shiloh, Indiitna had thirteen regiments; at Vicksburg, she 
liiid twenty-four; at Stone River, twenty-five ; at Chickamauga, twenty-seven; at Mission Ridge, 
twenty ; in the advance from Chattanooga to Atlanta, fifty ; at Atlanta, Sherman divided them so 
tliat exactly twenty-five went with hira down to the sea, while twenty-five marched back with 
'J'homas, and were in at the annihilation of Hood at, Nashville. What a record is thus presented '. 
Ask Grant or Rosecrans, or Sherman, if, from the beginning to the eiui of their operations, there 
was a day for which they could have spared those reginieuts? No; without them, Bragg might yet 
be on Lookout Mountain ; or Sherman still toiling, like a Titan, among the gorges of Kenesaw and 
Resacca ; or worse yet, Halleck, that only one of all our Generals who never even saw a battle, might 
be Gener.il-in-Chief, waiting for the success at Vicksburg to reduce him to his proper level — Chief of 
a nameless and unknown Staff. 

I regret that time limits me to such a meagre analysis of the services of our soldiers — still it is 
enough to challenge inquiry concerning them ; enough, at least, to show how sacred these flags are. 
I know you will receive them reverently. I know you will do all in y( ur power to have them put 
where no enemy other than time can get to them. Yet. with shame be it said, there are men who 
deny their sanctity; we have neighbors, all of us, who see, or affect to see in them, nothing but 
hated synihols of venality, ambition and murder. God pity such a wretched delusion ! The conflict 
is gone, let us hope never to return ; but what a sum of human hopes and promises was involved in 
ji ! What a sum of human good will result from it ! Its conclusion was a renewal of our liberty — a 
proclamation of eventual liberty to all mankind — a yielding up forever of that unhallowed thing 
ralh'il Christian Slavery. 

Put them away tenderly. They are suggestive mementoes of a glorious cause, magnificently 
maintained. They will serve many good purposes yet. In the years to come, the soldiers will rally 
around them ; not as formerly, called from lilful sluinb;'rs, by the picket's near alarm, or in the heat 
and fury of the deadly combat: but in the calm of pi^ace, and in the full enjoyment of all they 
struggled for. If only from habit, where the flags are, the veterans will come; and they will look 
at them through tear-dimmed eyes, and tell whore they flew on such a day ; what well-remembered 
comrades bore them through such a fight ; wlio were wounded ; who died under them. If only to 
make the veterans gla.d, and enable them, it may be. in old age to renew their youth, and with each 
other to march their marches and fight their battles over again, I pray you put the holy relics 
safely away. 

Sir, we do not realize the war just ended ; we only remember it while in progress ; we only think 
of it by piecemeal; our most vivid impressions of it are derived from mere incidents; not merely 
what is thought of it now, but what has been said and written about it, is colored by the miscon- 
ceptions, prej udices and partialities of the hour. But this will be changed; the day will come 
when the voluuies of facts now under lock and key, and withheld from fear, afl'ectiou or ptdicy, 
will be exposed ; and there will be histcrians to collate and refine them, and poets to exalt them, 
and ariists to picture them, and philosophers to analyze their cft'ects upon society, religion and 
civilization ; then, and not until then, will the struggle be wholly realieed. Meantime, it will grow 
in the estimation of each succeeding generation, and bo continually more and more sanctified. 
-And in those days mementoes will bo in request ; there are unjeweled swords not worth the looking 
at now, that will be fortunes then; bullets, gleaned by ploughmen from famous fields, will wear 
.^hining labels ia richest cabinets ; and letters, at present not as valuable as old colonial deeds, will 
tliea be of inestimable ?'e;7M, because they are originals from the hatid of a Lincoln or a Grant, 
written in the crisis of the great rebellion. In that day what a treasure will this collection of flags 
bi' to our successors! And what pilgrimages there will be to* see the tattered, shot-torn, blood- 
stained fragments which streamed so often with more than a rainbow's beauty through the vanished 
clouds of the dreadful storm! And at sight of them, how men will be reminded of the thousand

what cares tile young speiulthnlt, happy in the waste of his f.ithers fortune, for that father's life 
of toil and self-denial '.' It is to he hoped these Hags will prevent such in lilT-renco i>n the part 
of our posterity. Think of tlieni grouped all in one chamber! What desceiiilent of a loyal man 
could enter it, and look upon them, and not feel the ancestral sacrifices tluy both attest mid per- 
petuate? .\nd when tlie foreigner, clrf^aining, it may be, of invasion or cunqu'st, or ambition, 
t'olitical or military, more dangerous now than all the kings, come into tin ir jiresence, as come 
they will ; tliough tliey be not ojipressed witli reverence, or dumb-stricken with awe, as you and 1, 
and others like us may be, doubt not that they will go away wiser than they came : they will be 
reiiMiided of what the Frenchman had not heard when he landed his legions on tli<' palmy shore of 
Mexico; of what the rulers of Kngland oveilookeil when they made such haste to recognize tlm 
rebellion ; of what the trained leaders of the rebellion themselves took not into account when they 
led tlieir misguideil followers into Ihe fields of war ; they will be reminded that this people, so given 
to jii'ace ; so devoted to trade, mechanics, agriculture; so occupied witli schools and churches, and 
a Government wliicli <loes tlieir will through the noiseless agency of the ballot-box, have yet. when 
roused, a power of resistance sufficient for any need however great ; that this nationality, yet in 
youth's first freshness, is like a hive of human boes — stand by it quietly, and you wi 1 be charmed 
by its proofs of industry, its faculty of appliance, its well-ordered labor; but touch it, shake it 
rudely, menace its population, or put them in fear, ami they will pour from their cells an armed 
myriad, whom there is no confronting : or rather, that it is like the ocean, beautiful in calm, bii! 
irresistible in storm. 

Fellow .Soldiers! Comrades: ^Vlieti we come visiting the old tiags, an. I takeout those more 
especially endeared to us becausi; under theui we each reuderi'd our indiviilual service, such as it 
was, we will not fail to be reminded of those other comrades — alas, too many to be named ' — who 
droppeil one by one out of the ranks or the ccduniii, to answer at roll-call never more ; whoso hon- 
orable discharges were given them by the fever in the hospital or by a bullet in battle ; wliosi,' boui'S 
lie in shallow graves iu the cypress swamp, in the rivers deepening bed, in Ihe valley's .Sabbath 
stillness, or on the mountain's breast, bleakened now by tempests human as wi 11 as elementnl. For 
thi'ir sakes, let us resolve to come here with every recurr nce of Ihi-i day, ami bring the obi colors to 
the sunlight, and carry them iu procession, and salute them martially with roll of drums and 
thunder of guns. So will those other comrades at' whom I speak know that they are remembered 
at least by us ; and so will we be remembered by them. 

In the armies of Persia was a chosen band called tlie Immortals. They numbered ti-n thousand ; 
their ranks were always full, and their place was near the person of the king. The old poets sint 
of this resplendent host, as clad in richest armor, and bearing spears pointed with pouigranites ol 
silver and gold. We, too, have our Immortals! (Inly ours wear uniforms of light. .Vnd they 
number more than ten times ten tliousand. And instead of a king to serve, they have for leader and 
lover that man of God and the people, Lincoln, the martyr. On their rolls shine the heroic nameo 
without regard to such paltry disliiu-tions as rank or .State ; among them are no olticers, no privates ; 
in the bivouacs of Heaven, tluty an" all alike Immortals. Of such are Ellsworth, Maker. Wadsworth, 
Sedgwi(d{ and McPlierson. Of such also are our ilackleman, Gerb r. Tanner, Ulinn and (.'iirndl, and 
tiiat multitude of our soldiers who, victims of the war, are now " at the front," while we are waiting 
"in reserve.'' 

GOVEnXOR !MORTON'S KKPLY. 

In belialf of the State of Indiana. I accept these flags. They will he deposited and preserved 
among her archives as her most precious treasures. They have been bajitized by the blood of her 
lifst and bravest sons, and are consecrated in all loyal "Hearts by the holy cause in which they wer.' 
unfurled. Hundreds of brave men fell while bearing thi>m in the very front of deadly battle but 
others sprangforward and took their places and l)oro them onward until they w.aved in final triiimpli 
over prostrate rebellion. To the memory of tho immortal dead let us this day drop the tear of grii'f, 
of love, and admiration, an.l solemnly vow that we will ever have iu grateful rem.jiibinnce and safe 
keeping their widows, their orphans, and their age<i parents, whom they have left behimi. 'You, 
the survivors of many battles, have met on this National Sabbath to ren.'W your ile\otion to that 
great cause, to brigliten the chain which binds you to the glorious dead and to each oilier, and to 
declare before heaven and these witnesses that you will not prove recreant to the prii.ciides in behalf 
of which you drew the sword. 

Ninety years ago to-day, our fathers -laid, broad and deep, the foundations of a mighty empire, 
planting them upon the eternal principles of Truth, Justice!, and Equality of Ilights. Thi'y dtclar- 
»'d as self-evident truths, tliat all men are created equal, and are endowed by their (,'reator with in- 
alienable rights, among wliich are life, liberty, and the i)ursuit of happiness. Inalienable Kights ! 
Rights that cannot be sold, granted away, or lost, and of which a man can only divest himself by 
the commission of crime. Ilights that are not conferred by constitutions, charters, laws, or pre- 
scription but are the direct gift of God to every man born into the world. Upon tlosc foundations 

eleven years afterwards, they erected the superstructure of our Government, beginning with the im- 
mortal words, "We, tho People of tlie l"ir;t(;d Slates, in order to form a more perfect Union, estab- 
lish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the gen.'ral wel- 
fare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish tliiii 
Constitution for the United States of America." 

This was a proclamation to the world that a Government was established, not by Stoics, not by 
communities, or corporations, but by a whole united people, speaking in their great primary capaci- 
ty of American citizens. At that time, the institution of slavery existed in six of tho thirteen 
States, but in a fading and decayed condition, and would not, in the opinion of any, survive a 
onarter of a century. It was admitted by all to be in violation of the thi'ory of the (JoVernment, 
and in utter hostility to the Declaration of Independence ; but those who were interested in it, JQ- 
Kistcd that it shoublnot be too rudely put away, and that some protection should be granted to tho

ADJUTANT GENERAL S REPORT. 



lemnant of its days. Our fathers, full of faith in its speedy extinction, yielded to these entreatSef, 
;ind provided in the Constitution that fugitive slaves might be re-captured in other States, and that 
every five slaves might be counted as three free persons in making up the ratio of representation in 
Congress and in the Klectoral College, and thus the new Government was launched upon its course. 

The introduction of the cotton plant made slavery profitable, and caused it to take a second 
growth and a new lease on life, and as the master prospered in wealth, became the foundation for a 
new and odious aristocracy, the members of which were strongly bound together, by their com- 
munity of interest iu human property. Not many yeai's after this, i> was discovered that slavery 
was an element of political power, which, if properly wielded, might govern the nation, and to that 
consummation it immediately aspired. As it grew in power and ambition, it repudiated the doc- 
trines of the revolutionary fathers, and proclaimed the dogma of its divine origin and legitimate 
transmission from the patriarchs ; and declared its affiliation with political parties to be only upon 
the condition of their complete submission to its interests; and fnrther, rejecting the original 
]iolicy of the government prohibiting slavery in the territories, as announced in the ordinance of 
of 1787, it definitely asserted as the fundamental law of the land, that the Constitution of the 
United States, by its own inherent power, established slavery in all the national domain. Congress 
and the people of the Territories to the contrary, notwithstanding. Upon this issue it went licloro 
the people in IStiO, and was signally defeated ; and immediately, as it was already piepared to do, 
resorted to arms to overthrow the government. 

As if anticipating such a result, it had, more than thirty years before that time, engrafted npon 
the creed of the party with which it acted, and of which it was the annimating sonl, the principle 
of the right of State secession, and upon tfiis confidently expected to carry with it that portion of 
the party existing in the Northern States. 

State after State assumed to secede from the Union, and uniting in a Confederacy, haughtily an- 
nounced to an astonished world that a new government was framed, having for its chief corner stone 
the institution of human slavery. 

Armies were organized. Forts, dock-yards, ships, and arsenals were seized, and at last the flag o( 
the nation was fired upon, and thus began the great civil war, from which, thanks be to your un- 
equaled valor, under the Providence of Almighty God. the nation has emerged iu triumph. 

The issues submitted to the trial of battle were of the most vital and momentous character. Net 
merely the perpetuation of our glorious Union, not merely the perpetuation and rightfulness of 
slavery, but the existence of Kepublican institutions througliout the world, and, forever settlini; 
the question of men's capacity for his own government. The hopes of the monarchies and aristocra- 
cies everywhere, were with our enemies; but the hearts of the down-trodden millions throughout 
Ihe world, who look to America as the asylum for the oppiessed, and the haven of liberty, beat high 
for us, and their prayers continually ascended to the throne of heaven in our behalf. 

The struggle was long and bloody, and victory for a time seemed to perch upon rebel standards, 
and the final result, to the faint of heart, appeared doubtful ; but at length the mighty North, 
fully aroused to the magnitude of the confiict, gathered to the work, and her trained ainiies. in- 
spired by a holy cause everj'where, moved upon the enemy with a fiery but enduring valor tlnit fiods 
no equal in the annals of war, and before which their ranks gave way, their colors went down, and 
their boastful cohorts were swept from the field. And, with the rebidlion, passed away its principal 
cause, the institution of slavery. And there is not now a slave st:uiding upon the soil over which 
waves the flag of the United States. The prophetic dream of our fathers has been realized, but not, 
until more than three quarters of a century had elapsed, nor until the natit>n had passed through a 
sea of blood and suffering which did not appear in their vision. 

Peace again smiles upon the land. You liave laid aside your arms, and have resumed the char- 
acter of the peaceful and quiet citizen, but your duties are not all performed. The great question 
now confronts you, and must be answered, whether these precious flags are to be the emblems only 
of barren victories? Whether the heroes in war shall become mere children in peace? And 
whether they shall tamely and blindly surrender at the ballot-box the great prize, the very peizf,, 
which they conquered upon the field ? Or whether, on the other hand, they have not, by their dread 
experience, learned lessons of wisdom through which they and their posterity may be fortified against 
the evil passions of the vanquished, and the recurrence of I ike calamities from which they have escaped? 

While wo mourn the gallant dead; while we mourn with their widows, their orphans, their 
broken-hearted parents; while we mourn the suffering and sorrow that this unholy rebellion 
spread over the land, and carried to so many hearts and hearthstones, we at the same time rejoice 
and thank Almighty God that the Nation has been preserved, and that its soil is no longer polluted 
by the footsteps of a slave ; that such boundless prospects of individual prosperity and national 
power are spread out before us, if we are true to the victory ; and it is a cause for special rejoicing 
and congratulation that the soldiers of Indiana have borne such a glorious part in the achieveuient 
of these mighty results. They have established a character for valor which may be equaled, but 
not excelled, by the soldiers of any other State or country, and which shines with undimmed lustre 
when compared with that of the most warlike nations iu history. 

The soldiers of Indiana, hitherto engaged in the peaceful pursuits of trade and agriculture, have 
manifested that loftj', high-toned courage and chivalry of which others have talked so much and 
possessed so little, and which belongs only to the intelli<^ent patriot, who understands well the 
sacreil cause in which he draws his sword. Thousands have fallen the victims of this unnatural 
rebellion. They were fighting from deep convictions of duty and the love they bore their country. 

Nor should we forget those who have perished by disease in the camp or hospital. They were 
denied the soldier's privilege of dying in battle, but their sacrifice was none the loss. To die in the 
field, amid the clash of contending armies and the roar of battle, fighting in a holy cause, is glo- 
rious ; but when death comes slowly on, in the loneliness and desolation of the hospital, with no 
mother or sister present to soothe the passing spirit and minister as love only can minister; with 
none but the rough hand of a comrade to press the clammy brow and perform the last oflices to the 
dying, it is terrible. 

You have heard from the distinguished soldier who preceded me of the vast number of troops 
Indiana has furnished to suppress the rebellion. Together they constituted a mighty army, the 
creation of which was wonderful, when we consider the great dilTicultii'S by which we were encom- 
passed at home ; and it is to day the occasion of the proudest congratulation that not a regiment, 
not a battery, came home with a stain upon its banner. 

These frayed and tattered Flags have been torn by shot and shell, stained with the blood of those 
who bore them, and beaten upon by the storms, but have never trailed in the dust, or went back 
upon the field. 

Soldiers, let me unite with Major General Wallace, in the hope that you will come together on 
this holy day iu every year to look upon these sacred banners, and to renew in sweet converse, the

aasociiitions of the march, the bivouac, and tlie field. Your numbers will grow smaller from year 
to year, your step less tirm and your eyes less bright, but the wreaths wliicli bind your victorious 
liruws will become greener and more glorious as you pass down the declivity of time, through paths 
strewn with flowers by your grateful countrj'nien, to sink gently into honorable graves. 

At the conclusion of Governor Morton's address, a document, prepared by the Adjutant General, 
was read, embracing the histories of the flags, of which there were about four hundred. These 
histories are given substantially in the Battle Record published in this Report. 

The celebration closed in the evening with a grand illumination and display of fire works. \o 
anniversary of the Nation's birth-day was ever celebrated so generally, or was invested with so 
much absorbing Interest as this. The attandance was larger and the exercises far more interesting 
than on anj' similar occasion. The flags of the Indiana regiments and batteries, emblems of our 
national grandeur and relics cf the noblest patriotism, were then patented to the State. Let them 
be guarded with a sacred cai'c, for they will always speak in mute eloquence of the patriotic record 
of the two hundred thousand soldiers of Indiana who represented the State in the war for the Ka- 
tion's life I

CONDITION OF THE MILITIA. 

The Militia of Indiana is at this time unorganized. During the late war about fifty thousand 
ni'ni luiown as "The Indiana Legion," were armed, and from time to time were on active dulj , 
under or iers of the Governor, in repelling Rebel Raids and guarding the Southern border of tb* 
State, on the Ohio River, against Rebel invasion. Upon the surrender of Lee's Army, the " Legion" 
was disbanded, the Militia Law under which it was organized being very defective and entirely inade- 
quate to the maintenance of an efficient and well disciplined force in a time of peace. During the war 
the dangers that threatened our people and the patriotic ardor that animated them, cured many 
of the defects of the law for the time being, and secured a faithful discharge of military duty. 
Under the present law it is deemed impracticable to attempt a re-organization of the Militia. Tbt- 
Arms and munitions of the State luive therefore been put in good order, properly boxed and will hv 
shortly stored in the United States Arsenal at this place. 
All of whii-h is respectfully submitted. 

By order ef the Acting Governor and Commander in Chief of the Indiana Militia.

CORRECTION OF THE ENROLOIENT. 

KxfxuTivK Dkpahtment of Indiana, ■» 
Adjutant Genkbai.'s oiKirK, [■ 

INDIANAI'OLIS, Dc'f. J, 18tU. J 
To thv People of huliana: 

I iim directed by Uis Excellency, Governor Morton, to invite public attention to thi' :icconipHny- 
int; Circniiir, issued by tlie Acting Assistant Provost Marslial General of tlie State, and to urije n. 
hearty coniyliance with the excellent siigscstions therein made. 

Almost every township in the State has experienced the inequalities and errors of the Enroll- 
ment under which the late Draft was made— arising, in a great measure, from a failure on the [jart < f 
ihe people to secure a timely correction of the Enrollment Lists. The opportunity which the Act- 
ins Assistant Provost Marshal General's plan affords for making all ju.st and proper correction, it 
is hoped, will be appreciated, and immediate steps taken in every ward and township to 
accomplisli tliat object. By calling public meetings and appointing coniinittei's composed of active, 
t!iorou.i;h-going citizens, the work may be sjieedily done, and more correctly, probably, than in any 
other way. 

It should be borne in mind that u/trr tlie c(uota.s are assigned to townships, alterations in the lists 
do not in any m;innor operate to reduce or change those quotas. Erom this, the importance of 
prompt action will readily be setn. 

CouMty and township officers, and others who are well acquainted in their respective wards and 
townships, with the aid of citizens gi-nerally, by consultation aud united efibrt, will be able to per- 
fect the Enrollment so that the injustice heretofore so frequently complained of may be almost 
entirely avoided in any subsequent Draft that may be made. Their hearty, prompt, and thorough 
co-operation with the military autfiorities having tlie Enrollment in charge, is therefore earnestly 
requested. 

Y\-. U. H. TKKKELL, A.jxtfrfxf G'nicraL 



Ofi-icf. ci" Acting Assistant Pr.ovosT ilAnsiiAi. Genkuai., } 
Indianapolis, l>ecember 2d, ISOt. / 
OiRf vi.ar No. (18. 

The Provost Marshal General having directed a thorongh revision of the Enrollment, the under- 
bigni'd, the .Acting Assistant Provost Marshal General of your State, takes the opportunity, whib^ 
tlx' importance of having a correct enrollment is fresh in the minds of all, to appeal to all good 
citizens to co-operate with the otilcers of this Bureau in perfecting tlie same. 'With the assistance 
of the people, it is btdieved, this can soon be accomplished ; without it, it can not, liowevet efficient 
by til" oflicers of the I'rovost Marshal General's Dcqiartment may perform their part. 

There call be no doubt but what the draft will be relied on, in future, by the Government, to lill 
nj) the armies in the field ; and in order that it should operate equallj' upon all liable to military 
duly, the enrollnieiit list should include all liable to draft, and only those. 

It should be understood that it is to the interest of each Sub-District (township") to have stricken 
from the list all names improperly enrolled, because an excess of names increases the (juota called 
for from such Sub-District; aud that it is equally for the intenst of every enrolled man in a given 
)-i;b-District, to place upon the list all persons liable to do military duty — for the greater the num- 
ber to be drawn from, the less the chance that any particular individual will be drafted. It is the 
personal interest of every enrolled man that the quota in which he is concerned should not be nuuJe 
loo large, that his own chances for draft shall not be unjustly increased. Both these objects will be 
attained if all parties will aid in striking out the wrong names, and putting in the right ones. Es- 
pecially in this, the interest of these drafted men who have put in substitutes liable to draft, and 
who are only e.xe/npt, by the t<-rms of the law, until the present enrollment is exhausted in their 
Sub-District. The law requires that quotas should be assigned in proportion to the enrollment ; 
and the justice of this mode of determining the amount of military service due fioni every Sub- 
District can not be doubted, if the enrollment is made as nearly perfect as it is practicable to 
make it. 

It is not deemed expedient, at this time, to appoint an Enrolling Officer for each Township, but 
Boards of Enrollment, Deputy Provost Marshals, and Special Agents of the Provost Marshal Gen- 
erals Department, are directed to devote all their time to this important subject, consistent with 
niiire pressing duties. 

The enrollment lists are at all times open to the examination of the public, at Provost Marshals' 
Headquarters, except when the Board is engaged with the draft ; and any person may appear before 
the Board, and have the name of any one stricken from the list, if he can show, to the satisfaction 
of the Board, that the person named should not be on the enrollment list, enrolled on account of — 

1st. Alienage. 

2d. Non-residence, or having removed from the Sub-District since enrollment.

ujion citizens to suggest to the Provost Marshal of the District, or the Deputy Provost Marshal of 
the county, any corrections that ought to be made. 

As it will require time to prepare these lists, it is suggested that the people take the matter in 
hand at once ; that township and ward meetings be called, and that committees beappointed, whose 
d\ity it shall be to prepare lists of i.ames of persons who ought to be stricken oil, with the necessary 
evidence in each case, as well as lists of persons who ought to be enrolled, by reason of becoming 
twenty years of age, moving into the township, or other cause. 

It is recommended that the committees visit the Provost Marshals' Headquarters in person, to in- 
sure the correction being made. It is also recommended that persons, knowing themselves to be 
jdiysically disqualified, or im|)roperly enrolled for other cause, apply, in person, to the Boards of 
Knrollment, to have tlieir names stricken off. 

County and Township officers, clergymen, and all other prominent citizens, are invited to appear 
at all times before the Boards of Enrollniont, to point out errors in the lists, and to give such in- 
formation in their possession as may aid in the correction and revision tln^reof.

Bbigadieu Geserai, W. H. H. Terrell, Adjutant General Indiana, 

Genera! : Your reii'iest for a report of my military administration, while on duty, during th(^ 
late rebellion, in the State of Indiana, was complied with, and the papers were completeil JIv 
house, at Fort Kearney, was burned, and my papers were so scattered in their rescue, that I have 
been unable during my march of six hundred miles (even yet unfinished), to colle<t the sam" data, 
and but a few leaves of the original report have been founii. My journal and most of n)y official 
records are in chests, to which, present access is almost impossible. I will give you an ontline of 
duty in Indiana, and send by courier to Laramie; and give a fuller rejjort if desired, upon reacbin;» 
my destination. 

Under telegraphic instructions from the War Department I left Columbus Ohio, reaching Indiau- 
apolis the same day, Atigust 18, (Monday) 13C2. 



272 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

The Prosi(!<'Ct's rail fov throe hundred thousand men had aroused the p(!opI(', and while many 
States were Cdiiiparatively liuiguid, in response, I found tliat Indiana was pouring her quota to- 
wards the general rendezvous and local camps by tliousands. A crisis had been reached in the mili- 
tary status of Kentucky, and Kirby Smith no longer failed to indicate his purpose to enter and as- 
s.iil that State in force. Tlie pi'ril of the Indiana and Oliio borders had been anticipated by 
<rOvernor Mnrton, throufrh special agents and I were shown dispatches, indicating, as afterwards 
proved to be tlie truth, that the immediate support of Indiana, alone could arrest the danger. I 
respectfully refer to my r^'port entitled " Indiana and the Kirby Smith Campaign," in your office, 
for the historic facts, tel<'grams &c., covering those weeks of great interest to your people and tlie 
wliole border 

On the day of my arrival. August 18, the great question, was, to immediately organize, muster, 
arm auii forward men. I mustered and marched the 71st Kegiinent the same day ; and, with Gov- 
ernor Slorton visited the 12th and IDth at night, during a severe storm, to [)repare them for muster 
Ihe day fidlowing. Tlie first named regiment marched without bounty, under my pledge that it 
should fiillow them ; and, in fact was paid by Capt. Biddle (afterwards their Colonel,) just before 
Ihe battle of Richmond began. 

The Il8th and lillth Kegiments were paid, as well as mustered, on Wednesday ; the first, by candle 

light, and work was done by niglit as well as by day. Labor was uninterrupted, and rest deferred. 

I'y Seiitember 1st nearly thirty-five thousuiid nwii had been reported. Regiments marched daily, 

and justice requires record of the fact tliat no part of the fresh quota required of any State had 

marched, when the Indiana contingent began its movement. 

The State Arsenal was employing seven hundred laborers, fabricating, daily, three liundrod 
thousand rounds of aniniunition. and this augmented supply afterwards sujiplicd other troops called 
in for tiie (irotection of the Oliio border. 

TIk" State Fair Grounds, and ni'arly all open lots about the city, were constituted camps. The 
ijuota r.-ipidly tilled. In twenty days, twenty thou.-and men were organized, mustered, and 
i.-iiirelod. Of ihese troops, some participated in tlu! battle of Richmond, Kentucky, twelve days 
after they left Indiana ; while others wi-re at Munfordville in the month following. They formed a 
shield to Cincinnati and Louisville, and unless they had moved thus readily, promptly and decidedly, 
those cities could have offered no defense. These regiments breasted the shock, and gave the 
necessary time f<u' other troops to prepare a stable defense. To forward these forces, and hasten 
aniniunition to the points of danger, jirivate transportation was impressed, special trains were run, 
and every movement was as rapid as (lossible. 

Occupying the position of I'ost Commander, as well as Chief Mustering Officer of the State, I had 
the laivilege of p irticipating actively in the work with the State anthorilii^s during that crisis. 

Killing the seige of Louisville, so called, and occurring soon after, at the request of Governor 
Morton, I visited the border, made drafts and surveys for the defense of Kew Albany and its vicinity, 
and efiected all that was necessary to that purpose, when the retreat of General Bragg rendered 
elaborate operations useless. 

At noon, August l.Sth, I had given a pledge to Governor Morton that, with his hearty co-op- 
eration, I would so muster as to place the Indiana quota first in the fitdd. Accessiljle at all hours, 
by niglit or day, and tireless in his devotion to the work, he gave me every support, and the plf.dije 
'Ctti' riih'Ptnrd. 

Tjuring the Autumn and Fall, parolled regiments were exchanged, re-armed, and placed under 
instructions, furnishing, with the Fifth Cavalry, a division of nearly twelve tliousaud men, of all 
arms, and these were instructed in evolutions of the line, as W(dl as battalion drill. 

A draft was ordered. In its operations there came to light the existence of a secret, disloyal 
Older, having in view to prevent its enforcement, to encourage desertions, au<l sympathize with tlie 
rebellion. Nearly twenty-three hundred oesertions were reported in Decenibrr alone. 

Details sent to arrest deserters were fired upon, and in many parts of the State an arrest was im- 
possible. 

The v.'rit of Habeas Corpus was resorted to, to discharge soldiers who had not the courage to de- 
sert, and false affidavits became the basis of many such writs. 

I'rominent citiK-ns actively sought to establish the Order among the people as well as the troops, 
and by the time the State Legislatnre convened in January 18i;,S ; the Order had organized, as the 
" K nights of the Golden Circle," (or " Sons of Liberty,") with the avowed purpose of thwarting 
the State and United States in all vigorous measures for the prosecution of the war. 

A daily record of events in Indiana, or even at the State Capitol, during January and February of 
that year, would show that civil war wag emmiuent, anil, that it was averted, solely by the vigilance 
and energy of the United States and State authorities. ■ Official correspondence and reliable data are 
of the same class of proof; but, already a part of Indiana history, they require no elaboration in 
this general sketch. During the winter and spring of I8;i;i, nearly seventy convictions were had be- 
fore the Federal Courtsfor resistance to the constituted authorities. 

In March, having been appointed Brigadier General of Volunteers, I was assigned to command the 
District of Indiana. • 

At this time the smuggling and secret sale of arms had become general ; resulting in personal 
encounters, and endangering the peace, wherever the issues of the war were discussed and the secret 
Order had its agents present. This sale was at once restricted. 

Prominent men, of botli political parties, were invited to a conference and united in expressions 
of a purpose, to diseuuiage the secret arming, and, to restore general confidence. Arre!>ts were 
made of all who resisted authority and their cases at once referred to the civil ofticers for examina- 
tion and trial. 

April 23, 1 v.'as ordered to Ohio and was engaged in organizing a force of six months troops, at 
Cleveland, undera n-ri call, until receipt of telegraphic orders tliat John Morgan had crossed tho 
Ohio, and that I woubl " report at once to the Governor of Indiana in this pressing emergency." 
I re(!eived the telegram at 4 o'clock P. M. July 8, left at 5 o'clock, and entered ujion my duties the 
UbXt morning. 

Having been, at once, placed in command of the State Legion, assisted by General Jlansfield, and 
in charge to organizing the militia, the work was begun. Nearly twenty thousand volunteers 
iiunred into the city within two days and thrice that number reported readiness for service. For 
<igiity-si'< hours there was neither sleep nor rest. 

The tracV: of Morgan was marked by abandoned horses and general exchange and robbery of 
■tock. At the request of Governor Morton, acciunpanied by Mr. Hooker as Secretary and Aid, 1 
visited the counties invaded, providing for systematic returns of stock and other property lost 
by i-itizens, with a view to their reclamation or final settlement. 

Upon return to Indianapolis, there was begun a more complete organization of the State Legion,

of Email arms were is.su(;d to regularly organized niiliiia, hei^ides artillery for the border ■coinittcs. 

In progr.'ss of this work 1 visited Lafayette, Waliasli. Kendalville, Bliihigari City, Uiclinimid, 
Terre Uauto, Madison, Fo-rt Wayne, KvansviUe, New Albany, Columbus, Kdiiibuigli, }viish\ille, 
Peru, and many other towns, drilling the militia wherever orgaui-zed. During the autumn of IsiXi. 
while engaged in this duto', and ia organizing tr-oops for a new call, I visited thii ty-fonr counti-.'S 
of th« Slate, making three trips to the First, two to the Ninth, and two to the Eleventli Congres- 
Kional Districts. 

About .lanuary 1, lS(i4, when it became evident that the United States would still further increa'se 
its req«isitions with a vijw to make its annies <jverwj)elniing to tlie rebellion, the '• Knight's of tlie 
Golden Circle," no longer couliiiiug their operations to discouragement of etjlislmeiits, aid of 
desertions and obstruction of process, began a new and mora systematic work under the title of 
'• American Knights," changing, soon after to " Sons of Liberty." The combinations multiplied, 
their system was perfected, anil their military organizations assumed fonn and substance. 

Missouri, lUiiwix and Failiiclij, were so closely related by geographical afiinities that their com- 
mon union with traitors iu Indiana, to undermine the operations of the war, became so tliorougtily 
eetlled a«d understood as to become liistoric-al. 

My oflicial report of their organization, plans .ind creed, of Junel, lSfi+, rendered to Governor 
Morton, and published, is iii your olHce. That report was fully confirmed by proniiuoiit members of 
the Order, and many truthful witnesses, and it stands unimpeachable, as the record of a startling 
episode of the war, and, as indicating tl<e sjiecJal resj)onsibilities that devolved ujioti the Governor 
iin<l State officials -of Indiawa duritsg a period wlien every eflbrt was niade by disloyal parties to 
cripple the financial and material sujiport which was due to the United States. 

The rejport of .Judge Advocate General Holt is also referred to in this connection. 

For ten mouths, viz: until May 23, 18tj4, I was on delaelied service, in co-operation with the 
<;overnor of the State. 

Alay, 'I'A, ISo-i, 1 was ordered, " in addition to my other duties tT" assume rommand of the District." 
At that time parties in the rebel intert-st from Kentucliv and Missouri were visiting Indianapolis 
to settle a day for a<aion. They reported John Morgan as about to invade Kentucky by way of 
JPound Gap. Their information was correct, but the result of his enterprise was a failttre. At the 
request of Governor Morton I wen t to Louisville, and with the Forty-Tliird Iniliana then on fur- 
lough, and the One Ilundred and Fifteenth Indiana, ijrovided for op'iiing up a route to Frankfort, 
that city being io a state of siege. Celonel Frybarger, Chief of Artillery f<jr the Stat.:r of Indiana, 
tind to whom Indiana owes very largely the efficiency of her preparations for border defense, fol- 
lowed with one section of artillery. General llobson, whose ^'ub-District was in peril, had bei u 
captured, and General Burbridge was hotly following the invaders, .\djutunt General Laz Nolile, 
of Indiana, also organized, assisted by General Mansfield, (commanding Indiana Legion) a sub- 
stantial force, ready to cross the river when required. 

Thus, for the third time, Indiana troops and Indinna militia became the safeguard of the border, 
•the support of Kentucky when iu danger, and a solid bulwark against treason from without as well 
us from within. 

June ai;d J uly were months of issue with the disloyalists. Their plans for uprising — for releasing 
til" rebel prisoners at Camp Morton — for seizure of the arsenal and general concert with rebels iii 
Kentucky, Missouri and Canada, Vi-ere discovered, e.vposed and foiled. 

Two postponements of the day for action, want of conceit among leaders, and the good sense of 
thousaniis who, upon entering tb.e Order, wer<i misled by a high-sounding creed and |)lausible 
theori-s, but whoccmld not be urged to -openly defy law and inaugurate civil wur, disheartent'd the 
leaders and peace was preserved. 

Besides this, there was no day, or liour, where the means at the instant disposal of the authorities 
was in.adequate to crush, signally, any outbreak, and tliis became iitidersloocl. 

The timely arrival of a howitzer battery which 1 j roeureU from St. Ijouis. and reinforcement by a 
Massachusetts regiment, checked tho operations at Canip Morton, where previously almost daily 
attempts had been made to mine an avenue of escape, and frequent efforts Lad also been made by 
parties outside to comniunicate with those within. 

The seizure of arms and ammunition, sent under the guise of "Sunday-school books," was but 
cue of the many forms resorted to for the purpose of gathering the means of offensive action. 

Early in .\ugust, and while matters were stiU unsettled, Joluison ami Seiiert, then in full commu- 
nication with the "Sons of LiberUj', at L' uisville, moved down the river to Henderson and Ihn at- 
oned Shawueetown, Illinois. They stole stock and temporarily captured boats, exaggerating their 
forces and looking for substantial support, whicli they failed to receive. General liu;;lies. com- 
manding the Legion of the neighboring Brigade District, reported the danger. I sent by special 
train all the available troops from Indianapolis — telegraphed to Gein'ral Hughes, giving authority 
to impress horses, shipping five hundred saddles and equipments for his use. General Ilovey, then 
5Vt Mount Vernon waiting orders, consented to accompany the expcnlition, which was successful in 
scattering the hostile force without loss 

This was the last active outbreak on the border. Orders had been previously issued regulating 
the river travel, thecrossing of armed parties for whatever purposes, and the general protc ction of 
river towns and setilemeuts, and after the succession of General Hovey to the command vjtf tho 
District the same orders were enforced by orders calling attention to those previously issui-d. 

.\iigust liO, 18G-I, by order of the War Department. I took command of the Draft Uendezvovis. 
(amp ( .'arrington was enlarged northward, new buildings were erected, and all tho accessories of a 
large I'oj-t were secured. 

Ah in 18ij3-4, when daily visits to every camp wore necessarj', this duty w-aa of the most exacting 
kind. More than ehen thousand men were in camp at one time. Tht^y had to be fed ami inuinly 
clothed. I had but nine officers to assist me in all thi^ details of camp, the preparation of roll«, the 
forwarding of men, and all the details of (luty. Every man had to bear i)ie<lical examination. Of 
the officers who nominally wire my assistants, six were from other States, four were barely crnva- 
lessing from wouuds, and all were strangers to office work eScept two. Forty-two clerks were 
employed and the work of all of them required my personal supervision and care. 

Two elections — State and Presidential — occiirreii, involving all the labor attending fur'oughs, 
except transportation, which was furnished through the State ofiicials. Notwilh^tanding this 
pressure of duty detachments wen' daily sent to the field, good <irder was maintained, and the 
Indiana quota rapidly became soldiers. 

The six companies of "Garrison Guards" taken from the drafted men, and armed for Post Duty, 
were surpassed by few old soldiers. Concurrent with this draft was the organization of thirteen

Slime camp. Tlieso troops fornieii the last quota drawn from Indiana. \ 

I was tlius directly associated iu mustering, drilling and recruiting, with six regiments of cav- ! 
airy, seven batteries, and an aggregate of about one hundred thousand infantry, exclusive of' 
tlie Legion and the Minute Slen, who were oithi-r instructed for, or called into some form of active i 
service under niyscdf. All this labor deprived me of honorable opportunities with my own proper ' 
command in the field, l)Ut brings no regrets, as I kno«' I did what was done, conscientiously, and i 
faithfully, and that at the time, the work was considered as important as duty in the field could j 
possibly be. Support was given to the loyal — some were inspired to enlist — many were instructed | 
in a soldier's profession and duty and the plans of traitors were brought to naught. ■! 

In the retrospect, I can only take time to say that Governor Morton's energy and devotion to ' 
Indiana renderea failure on the part of Indiana impossible ; and that to yourself, your predecessor ! 
General Noble, General Stone, General Mansfield, Colonel Schlater, Colonels Frybarger and Sturm, ^ 
I particularly refer for that hearty co-operation, when labor became constant, which enabled ray I 
work to reap its desired fruit. 1 

If this report liear a personal aspect, it will have its explanation in the fact that I became so 
identified with Indiana interests and Indiana prosperity, that I write as to my friends, knowing 
at least, that when great interests were at stake they wore subserved to the best of my judgment, j 
with my whole soul, without fear, or favor, and with the desire to do eqtial and exact justice to j 
every man of whatever name or houest opinion. This is my reward when evanescent plaudits and ! 
popular honors are forgotten. 

With consideration I am, very respectfully, your obedinnt servant,

EXPOSURE OF THE SONS OF LIBERTY— A SECRET TREASONA- I 
RLE ORGANIZATION. 

GENERAL CARRINGTON'S REPORT. j 

Headqiartees District or Indiana, Northern- Department, ) 

Indianapolis, Indiana, June 28, 18(;4. j 

GovEENOE : In compliance with your request, I place in your hands a partial outline of the nature, ( 
work, and extent of a disloyal society, or order, now operating in the State of Indiana, under the i 
name of "Sons of Liberty." 

I. NATURE OF THE OEDEE. 

1st. It is both civil and military. In its first relation, it declares principles of ethics and politics, i 
for adoption and dissemination, that are hostile to the Government of the United States. In the I 
latter relation, it assumes to organize armies for "actual service" in support of those principles, ( 
treating the United States Government as their eneviij, and that of the rebellion as their/)-ienrf. j 

■2d. It is secret and oath-lound. I 

?.d. It is despotic and absolute. The penalties of disobedience to its officers are unlimited, in- i 
eluding the death penalty itself. 

II. PRINCIPLES OF THE ORDER. ! 

1st. Absolute, inherent. State Sovereignty. 

2d. The Union of the States as but voluntary and temporary, and revocable at the will of any 
individual State, so far as concerns that State. j 

yd. Denies to the General Government the power to enforce its Ui * -^j if it be the choice of a State t 
to reject them. I 

4th. Recognizes the existing rebellion as legitimate, legal, and just. j 

5th. Holds revolution against the present Government as not only a right, but a duty. j 

Cth. Holds obligations to the order as paramount to those due a single State or the United States, i] 

Tth. Declares its purpose, to stop this war, treat with rebels, and make a treaty based upon the j 
recognition of grades of civilization and race. j 

8tli. Declares a law of races, one of Caucasian supremacy, and one of African servitude. 

9th. Pledges a crusade in favor of all people attempting to establish new governments of their 
own choice, as against existing rulers or authorities. i 

10th. Accepts the creed of the rebellion, its logic, its plans, and its principles, as the nominal 
theory of Democracy, and its own bond of coherence and ultimate success. 

III. EXTENT OF THE ORDER. 

Exhibits are furnished as follows 

Exhibit A. "Constitution of Supremo Council of the States," that is, of all States that may join, 
recognizing the primary independence of each State. "The Supreme Commander of this Council," 
is "Commander-in-Chief of all military forces belonging to the Order, in the various States, when 
called into actual service." — [See sec. 8.

"The ni'^nibcrs "f this Coiinfil, aJditional to tlie regular orticu-rs, iiu-luJw, er-njjicio, tlic Grand 
Commatidpr's staff, and all military oilicers above the rank of Colonel." — [Sec. '-i, Art. 'i. 

Exhibit C. Constitution of the County Parent Temples, subordinate to \vhii;h, Branoh County 
Temples may be organized. 

This order, during l^b3, was variously named, but popularly known as "K.G.C (Knioiits of thk 
GoLPEN Circle,) with whose ritual, oaths, etc., I furnished you in the spring of ISlilJ. The penalty 
of disclosure was then death, and this penalty was specified in their obligations. 

During the fall of 1803, the order changed name and ritual, and became the "O.A.K.," (Order Ok 
Amkkica.n Knights;) the ritual, signs, passwords, &c.. of which are in my possession. 

At the meeting of this order, February Kith and 17th, 18C4, the (irand Commander for the State 
of Indiana communicated the purposes of the order, as well as the views of C. L.^■allandighaIn, 
claimed by the order as its Uead and Supreme Commander. 

For said address, the proceedings of the Indiana Grand Council, and so much of the official pro- 
ceedings as it was deemed best to publish for the private information of the order, please see Ex- 
hibit i). hereunto annexed. This report gives the following States its organized : 

New York, JSew Jersey, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. 
Michigan, Delaware, Maryland, and Missouri. 

Besides the Constitutions of the ".S.L." referred to, there is a formal ritual for the degrees, the 
same being a slight moditication of the work of the "O.-^.K.," which was abandoned only in .May 
last. 

These consist of the "V.,'" Vestibule of the Temple, and first, second, and third Temple Degrees, 
or Conclaves. 

The organization of the "Society of the Ilini," or Democratic Clubs, does not involve full mem- 
bership in the order, for thus far, comparatively few in each Temple are advanced to the Chapters 
or Councils of the higher degrees, but the lower and subordinate bodies, and that of the "Illiui," is 
educational and probationary, looking to full acceptance of the general principles of the order, be- 
fore the advancement of the "Neophyte," to the higher degrees. 

.\s appears from the official report of February 17th, there were, then, only twelve thousand 
members in this State, and a recent report from a portion of the State would hardly triple this 
number— that is, of initiates, though they claim for some counties full battalions, and in a f< w 
cases, full regiments. 

Exhibits E. F. G. and H. give the ritual of said degrees. 

It will be observed that the fundamental password is Calhoun, transposed for use thus, Nu-oh-lac. 

The unwritten work and lectures of this order vary in different States and counties, and in Tem- 
ples of the same county, though not in essentials. This is accounted for from the fact that organiz- 
ing agents, in installing officers, could not take time to fully post and instruct them, and the work 
was imperfectly committed to memory. 

While the penalties of disclosure are formally declared to be such as the officers of this order shall 
direct, these penalties are specificallj' given in the verbal lectures and instructions. The oaths of 
]8lj:i specifically affixed the death penalty. The same is enjoined in the present order. Instructions 
to execute this penalty upon at least one supposed informer have been issued within the last tw(v 
months. Injunctions to arm, and much of the details of subordinate military features of the order, 
are also given in verbal lectures. Concurrent testimony from different sources confirms the above. 
Many of the documents 3'ou have already seen, and they are not necessary in this report. 

IV. OPERATIONS OF TIIF. ORDER. 

A few facts, derived from many concurrent sources, give significance to passages iu the constiti;- 
tions and rituals. Of some you were advised at the time — thus : 

1st. The outbreaks in Eastern Illinois were mainly checked by leaders of this order, on the 
ground that such outbreaks were premature. This information comes from Canada, Michigan, Il- 
linois, and other quarters. 

2d. A few days before the attack of Forrest upon Paducah, I was informed that the Temples of 
the O.A.K. in Northwestern Illinois expected such an attack, and that Forrest would cross into Il- 
linois, and raise the standard of revolt. He came to Paducah, but was repulsed. 

3d. On the day that Morgan first entered Pound Gap, I was informed at Indianapolis, iu the 
morning, that Jlorgan was about to enter Kentucky, of which you were at once advised. At 3 p. 
m. you showed me a telegram from General Burbridge, that Morgan was in the Gap. This informa- 
tion, derived from you, was communicated to the secret order with my permission. Upon this, two 
members of the order, both prominent — one, Col. W. A. Bowles, of Buena Vista notoriety, and the 
other. Judge J. F. Bullitt, o( the Supreme Court of Appeals of Kentucky — was soon reported to 
have stated that " Morgan must be stopped ; he was too soon — the order was not ready for him 1 " 
Judge Bullitt, who had come to receive the new ritual, (S.L.,) took the first train for Kentucky 
that day. The fact was that Morgan u-as stopped ! The incidents following and attending the visit 
of Major General Lindsaj', from Kentucky, you are familiar with, and the circumstances undci 
which Morgan threw part of bis force into Kentucky when General Burbridge moved towards Vir- 
ginia. 

4th. Information was given you of the visit of Vallandigham to Detroit, his projected trip to 
Chicago, of the meeting of the Grand Council of Indiana, June l;i, of the proposed adjournment 
and meeting at Hamilton, June l.i, and that Vallandigham"s immediate re-call was a subject Oi 
debate, and the prospect of his being at that time at Hamilton. At least one rebel officer left 
Windsor, C.W., and visited Hamilton four weeks before, in the confidence of disloyal persons, of 
which I was advised at that time, by telegraph, through General Noble. 

;")th. Five days before Morgan attacked Mt. Stirling, and the L. & L. B. R. was severed, written 
report was sent by disloyal persons, of which I have the originals, that the road was quiet, that 
"no mules," (United States soldiers,) were on the line, and thai a glorious work would begin the 
coming week. 

(Jth. A courier, intercepted between Frankfort and Louisville, who reported to me at Louisville, 
as I was starting for Indianapolis, claimed that Forrest was moving upon Southwestern Kentucky, 
and that a portion of Buckner's command would join the fragments of Morgan in Western Virginia 
Two days after, Forrest defeated Sturgis ; Buckner, however, was west of the Mississippi. I give 
these among many facts to show that there is a close correspondence of design and feeling between 
traitors North and rebels South. The whole plot of the order herein referred to is in harmony with 
forcible interruption of the war. 

W. A. Bowles, before referred to, has made no close secret of his disloyal purposes, and his sym- 
pathy with the South. He is reported as one of the four major generals of the order in Indiana. 
The remaining three are L. P. Milligan, of Huntington, Major Walker, of northwestern part of

Iiifliana, vice Yfa'ii\e, removed, and Andrew liumplireys, of GroeiH» county. The Grand Command- 
er has already been named. 

Although tlje new woik, S. L., was obtained at IndUnajiolis, by K. Barrett, for irisBOuri, it ig 
understood tliat the order is so far organized in that i>tate a.s to run a risk of disappointment by a 
cliange, and tliat the worlc of the O.A.K. will retain it.s usage, as it differs only in non essentials. 
Among the persons reported as at the conference with Judge Bullitt and Barrett, were J. J. Bing- 
ham, Dr. James 8. Athon, and Mr. Joseph Ristine, of Indianapolis. I will also give the names of a few 
other members, for your inlormation, to enable you to watch the movement of this order in Indiana, 
viz: l*r. Galling, (associated with the Catling gun,) 3Ir. Evert, of Vanderburg, Mr. L. Leaeh, Mr. 
Otey, Myers, of Laporte, Dr. Lemons, A. D. Uaga, M r. McBride, of Evansville, John U. Davis, and Laa- 
selie, of Cass county. Several of the above are delegates to the State Grand Council of Missouri ; 
aud besides, H. H. Doild, to the Supremo Grand Council, to be held at Chicago, tlm fir.st of July 
next, preparatory to the political convention of July 4. 

V. PURPOSES OF TUE ORDEH. 

It seems that the main purpose is political power, by union with tho South, regardless of men or 
measures. The Kastern and Western Council leaders differ as to means to this end ; and again, tha 
radicals and conservatives differ at the West. Men like Dr. VV. A. Bowles seem indifferent to any 
presidential canvass, and to prefer an early armed rupture, and positive union of the Northwest 
with tlie South. Such men are reaily and anxious for sucli an armed invasion as will give them a 
nucleus for open defiance of the United States. This is not speculation, but proof is amjde. I 
liave adverted to some facts already, and will advise you, as I have the Government and Guieral 
Heint'/.elnian, as events progress. Very respectfully yours,

llEPORT OF BRIGADIER GENERAL AIILO S. HASCALL. 

Ol'ERATIONS IN INDIANA IN THE SPRING AND SUMMER OF 18G3. i 

Goshen, Ind., Sept. 2fi, ISSf.. 
■Gen. W. H. H. Tekueli,, Adjutant General ImUana. 

Sir : Agreeably to your request I herewith furnish j-oii with a brief statement of my operations 
while on iluty in iTidiana in the spring and summer of IS ;.3. 

A few weeks after the battle of Stone River I was ordered to Indianapolis by Major General Rose- ^ 
■crans to sui)erintcnd tho work of returning deserters from the Ainiy of the Cumberland in the ; 
Slates of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. Under the influence of copperhead advice about one-third of , 
■General Rosecrans' entire army was then absent, d inserters. Subsequently, on the. 'it b of March, 18ii3, i 
:ny orders from General Rosecrans were confirmed by Major General Wright, commanding the Do- ' 
partment of the Ohio, and I was authorized and empowered to arrest des(u-ters and collect strag- ■ 
glers, found within the above mentioned States, belonging to atiti of the departments or armies of I 
the United States, and forward them to their regiments. This duty was of the highest importance 
at that critical period. The strength of tho army had been so far reduced by continuous and ! 
shameful desertion — encouraged, and not uufrequently induced, l>y the treasonable advice and 
promises of protection which reached the ears of the men at the front from their former homes — 
■ and the labor of arresting and forwarding them to their proper regiments was indeed herculean and I 
attended with many troublesome ditticulties. The work, however, progressed so favorably that in : 
a few weeks a most salutary lesson had been taught the infamous instigators of this treasonable i 
business; the}' were made, by the arrest of some of their leaders, to feel that their villainous mach- • 
■inations to break up the army were thoroughly understood, and would be counteracted and pun- • 
ished with an iron hand, while the poor dehnled victims of their wiles were, in liunilrcds of cases, , 
glad to be returned to their old places in the ranks, satisfied that their pretended friends were i 
indeed their worst enemies, and that it was fir more pleasant to bear the hardships of honorable I 
service in the field than to skulk in the rear under the doubtful protection of home-traitors and : 
•disloyal organizations. The result was that in a short time the morale of the army was greatly ele- > 
vated and encouraged, aud desertions rapidly decreased. Many deserters, however, ran off to Can- '] 
T.da, and, notwithstanding the great expense and eflort that was made by Congress aud the military I 
• iiuthoritios, the crime continued to a disgraceful extent. | 

After being engaged on this duty about one month. Major General Burnside was placed in com- I 
mand of the Department of the Ohio, and at his request I was transferred by the Secretary of War 
to that Department from the Department of the Cumberland. On the 15th of April, by General ] 
Burnside's order, I assumed command, temporarily, of tho District of Indiana, relieving Brigadier I 
'General Carrington. 

At this time the State of Indiana was in a State of quasi rebellion against the General Govern- 
ment, large numbers of rebel sympathizers and traitors being armed and, in some instances, organ- 
ized and rendezviused and apparently ready for active aud mischievous service. To meet this state 
of things, I issued my order "Number 9," a copy of which is appended hereto, which afterwards 
became so notorious throughout the loyal States. In carrying out that order I had occasion to 
suppress several traitorous newspapers, and to arrest a number of rabid copperheads in various 
parts of the State, and was about to deal with them as was afterwards done in the case of Milligan, 
Bowles, and others; but the President having revoked General Burnside's order suppressing the 
"Chicago Times," andnot receiving the co-operation from the General Government and Stateauthor- 
ities which I deemed essential in carrying out my programme, I was reluctantly compelled to relin- 
quish my plana. 

As an evidence of the disloyal feeling that prevailed in the State during the time I was in com- 
ctsaud, I may mentioB that on tho 20th of May, 18G3, the so-called Democracy (in reality copper-

I proceeded quietly to arm and organi'/.e the par(de(l prisoners at Camp ('arrington, placing them 
under command of that gallant ortiuer, Colonel John Cohnrn, of the ol3d Indiana Infantry, who was 
hin)self a prisoner on parole. This force, with the other troops at my disposal — the 71st Indiana 
Infantry, Colonel Biddle, and the liMd lndi;iiKi Battery, Captain Myers— being the night pnnious 
properly disposed so as to protect the government property, and to suppress any riotous proceed- 
ings that might occur the next day, siitliced to preserve order until evening. When the trains 
began departing, the traitorous scoundrels, all ot v.honi, as it appeareil, came to the '-convention" 
armed, opened an indiscriminate fire with pistols upon the Soldiers' Home and other buildings on 
the various railroads leading out of the city. I then gave orders to stop every train from which 
any firing had occurred, to disarm the passengers and then let the trains proceed. The result was 
thTit every train, except tli(^ Lafayette, which succeeded in escaping, was stopped and disarmed. 
Several hundred pistols wer(^ thus captured, besides there were immense numbers thrown away, 
which did not fall into the hands of the military. The attendants upon the "convention" went 
I'.ome disarmed and disheartened, but fell to abusing me without stint or mercy. They did not 
"take" Indianapolis, and during my connection with the military administration of altairs in the 
State, made no further serious attempt in that direction. 

About the Sth of June following, at my own request, I was relieved of the command of the 
District, and was succeeded by Brigadier General 0. B. Willcox. General Bnruside gave me a leave 
(if absence for thirty days, at the expiration of which I was to report to Major General HartsutT. 
commanding the '£'d Corps at Lexington, Ky. In the meantime, John Morgan undertook his 
celebrated raid through Indiana and Ohio, and when I reached Cincinnati, on my way to Lexington, 
I was immediately ordered by General Biirnside to return to Indianapolis and assist General 
Willcox in repelling the raid. Arriving at Indianapolis, I was by General WMllcox jilaced in charge 
of the defenses of the city. I made the best disposition possible with the force at hand, but it soon 
became evident that Morgan had no serious intention of attacking the capital, but was trying to 
escape through Ohio. To prevent this, Brigadier General Carrington was ordered to proceed with 
tliree regiments of Minute Men and a battery of artillery, by wiy of Richmond and llamilton, to 
intercept Morgan at or near Loveland, north of Cincinnati. He was ordered to proceed at three 
o'clock on the afternoon of the 13th day of July, and the trains were said to have been in readiness 
at that time. At nine o'clock at night, however, he had not gone, and General Willcox thereupon 
suspended him from command and ordered me to proceed with the troops, which I did, arriving at 
the iioint of destination "just in time to be too late." The few hours lost in starting from Indi- 
anapolis gave ihe rebel marauder ample time to pass the proposed point of attack without detention, 
and the last opportunity offered to Indiana troops to iutliet chastisement on the fleeing enemy was 
thus lost. Proceeding to Cincinnati with my command, and after staying there two days, I was 
ordered to return to Indianapolis, where the troops were duly mustered out and disciiarged This 
special service closed my connection with military affairs in Indiana, and I at once ijroce( ded to 
the performance of otlier and more active duties in tlie field.

Indianapolis, April Id, Lsii:;. j 

General Order No. 9. 

In assuming the command of the District of Indiana, the General commanding deems it advisable 
and proper to issue the following order, to the end that all may be advised of the principles which 
will govern his action : 

I. He has no proclamations to issue nor policy to adopt. That has already been done, and in his 
judgment well done, by the Commanding General of this Department. He has no partisan feelings 
or interests he intends to advance, but desires to confer, freely and fully, with the jirominent men 
id" all political parties, and invokes their hearty co-operation in all measures calculated to restore 
harmony and good feeling in the State. Ho neither claims any right to interfere with civil matters 

■ in the State, nor has any desire to do so. 

II. The Commaiuling General is charged with the duty of carrying into effect the provisions of 
General Order No. ;5S, recently issued by Alajor General Burnside. He purposes doing so. Unmis- 
takable evidence has reached him that the provisions of this order have been, and are being, violated 
in various parts of the State. This is unfortunately done, in many instances, by well meaning 
men, who are led astray by newspapers and public speakers. These latter will, therefore, be held 
to the most rigid accountability. There is no use in trying to dry the stream while its fountains 
are allowed to flow. All the newspapers and public speakers that counsel or encourage resistance 
to the conscription act, or avy other law of Congress passed as a war measure, or that endeavor to 
bring the war policy of the Government into disrepute, will be considered as having violated the 
order above alluded to. and treated accordingly. The country will have to be saved or lost during 
the time that this administration remains in power, and therefore he who is factiously and actively 
opposed to the war policy of the administration is as much ojiposed to his government. 

III. The Commanding General indulges the hope that all citizens of the State will see the pro- 
priety and necessity of the observance of this order, and, as they regard the true interest and 
welfare of the State and nation, give him no occasion to take action on account of its violation. 

By command of Brigadier General IIASCALL.

De'I'KOIT, November 20, 18lj5. 
Grxr.RAL \V. II. H. Tekrel, Adjutant General of Iiidiinia. 

General : In response to your various letters requesting of me an account of my connections with 
the troops of your State, during the recent war, particularly in the late District of Indiana and 
Slichigau, and in the East Tennessee campaign, I have the honor to transmit the following inlormal 
hketch : 

I lilt the District of Central Kentucky in June, ISiI.T, perstiant to General Burnside's order to try 
and settle the troubled condition of affairs in your State. My staff consisted of Captain Kobert A. 
llutcliins, A. A. G., Major G. Ccdlins Lyon, A. A. I. G. and Provost Marshal, and Lieutenants L. 
C. Brackett, W. V. Richards, and C. A. JIcKni,ii;ht, Aides de Camp. 

1 relieved General Hascall and assumed ecinimand of the District of Indiana and Michigan, June 
Sth, 181)3. The enrollment act was resisted in many counties of the State, enrollment oHicers were 
lauiilered in the performance of their duty. There were secret societies organiiied against theOov- 
' rnnient, and claiming to number sixty thousand members. 

All troops, possible to be spared, were ordered into the field, leaving available only Colonel 
Uiddle's Seventy-First Indiana, a detachment of Eifty-First and Sixty-Third Indiana Infantry, 
guarding the rebel prisoners at Camp Morton, Slyers' Twenty-Third Indiana Battery and a sijua- 
dron of (iavalry under Captain Patton, Third Indiana, all .stationed at Indianapolis, e.xcejit a com- 
pany at Bladison and two at Evansville. 

Disturbances occurred at various points where tlu' enrollment was resisted, but were easily quelled 
liy sending a small force of infantry or cavalry to tlie .spot promtly, and making as little noise about 
it as possiiile. Persons arrested were turned over to the civil authorities for indictment and in a 
few week.s but little excitement or opposition to the laws was manifested. The most serious out- 
lit eaks occurred in Sullivan, Greene and Monroe counties. About the 25th of June, I sent Colonel 
Biddle with his Regiment, a section of Artillery and a company of Cavalry to Blooniington, to ope- 
rate in these counties, where Cioverument officers and loyal citizens had been killed, and where it 
was crediidy reported, that some fifteen hundred "butternuts " were iu arms and drilling. 

Colonel Biddle met with no organized resistance. He dispersed the misguided malcontents and 
arrested some twenty or thirty petty ringleaders, among whom were Joel Morgan, Tobe Walker and 
Lemuel Sexton. The more important chiefs, who liy their speechesand intrigues had stirred up the 
strife and blooiished, never ajipeared with any of their armed follovvers, but invariably sneaked off 
leaving them to their fate without any intelligent head or directing mind. I examined most of 
them myself and found them, for the most part, ignorant and acting under a mistaken sense of 
party zeal. Some of them were discharged and some turned over to the U. S. Marshal. 

As General Mansfield gent-rally accompanied the troops, to act for the State authorities, and did 
act always with great tact and discretion, he has no doubt reported most of the cases of this kind 
that arose. 

On June lOtli, I receiv<'il a telegraphic <lispateli that a guerrilla band of rebels, under Capt. Hines, 
had crossed the Ohio at Leavenworth, and was moving into the interior, or perhaps up towards 
New Albany. This was probably the first actual raid made by the enemy into Indiana. 

The Legion in the interior were already cidlecting to attack the band of plunderers, whose nnni- 
liers were estimated at two hundred. A party was sent out from New Albany. Captain Patton 
took till' cars immediately from Indianapolis w ith his Cavalry, arrived early at Orleans and started 
scouts out in advance, the farmers in the neighborhood all volunteering lliues found himself 
bafiled in his ob.ject, whatever it was, for tlie Indiana Legion — and armed private citizens — were 
soon swarming around his path, and he re-crossed the Ohio with considerable loss and infinite dis- 
gust. He killed the Sherifl and a citizen of Crawford County, and lost seventy (70) of his men with 
their horses an<l plunder. 

Troubles on the border and raids from Kentucky, were whispered among the members of certain 
secret societies, who were thought to be iu communication with southern traitors, and Hines' raid, 
though it terminated ingloriously, gave some color to these rumors. About this time I issued an 
order against secret organizations, which alarmed the more moderate and opened the eyes of the 
ignorant, to such an extent, that for a time at least their meetings were susjiended.

General Orders No. 5. 

The peace of Indiana has lately hren disturbed by violence, murder, and other acts, contrary to 
law, and having their origin ill eertaln secret political societies, clubs, or leagues, the common 
safety now demands that all such associations should be discontinued, no matter to what political 
party they may belong. They are a constant source of dread and mistrust, and divide, and provoke 
hostility b(^tweeu neighbors, weaken th(^ dignity and power of courts of justice, expose the country 
to martial law, and discourage the people from enlisting in the defense of the nation. No matter 
how honest or worthy may have been the reason for such societies in the beginning, their very 
secrecy, and the oaths they impose, do enable wicked men to use them unto unlawful ends, and 
pervei't them into public nuisances. All good objects can bo accomplished openly, and none but 
the enemies of their country ever need disg'nise. it is perfectly plain that such secret organizations 
are both dangerous and beyond the ordi)iary grasp of the law. They are, therefore, declared to be 
hostile, and will be put down, by all the military power of the District, if need be. 

I invoke against said secret societies the good influence and active aid of all men who are friendly 
to the Union, to discontinue and break up such organizations within the limits of this District;

tlfficial. K-oBEKT A. IIUTCHINS, Captain and A. A. G. 

We liad information that some of the conspirators were importing arms into the State for tliese 
" Societies," or "circles," which were organized on a military plan. A few persons were arrested, 
charged with this ofience. Stringent measures were adopted, restraining the purchase and sale of 
arms and ammunition ; a few arre.sts were made, and some bonds were required of guilty or sus- 
pected parties, but the authority of the District Commander was quite limited, for the want of 
clear instructions or positive policy from higher authorities. 

On the 4th of July I received a telegram from General Burnside to send the Seventy- First Indiana 
Infantry. Colonel Biddle, with all my available artillery and cavalry, to Kentucky, to report to 
General Boyle. The rebel General John Morgan was marching through that State toward the Ohio, 
with four thousand cavalry. He attacked the Twenty-Fifth Michigan, Colonel Moore, at Green 
Kiver Bridge, that very day, and was repulsed. My troops were sent to Louisville at once. On the 
morning of the 5th Morgan captured the Union troops at Lebanon. Part of the Indiana Legion 
were ordered to Louisville, and Colonel Deland's First Michigan Sharp Shooters were ordered down 
to Indiana from Detroit, together with the Twelfth Michigan Battery. On the 6th General Boyle 
reported cannon firing heard at Louisville, Kentucky. On the Sth he reported Morgan as havi'jg 
crossed the Ohio at Brandenburg, with two steamers, which lie had captured. He was now known 
to be on the soil of Indiana. The Legion and Home Guards were called out by Governor Morton, 
and companies and regiments were requested to organize to repel invasion. I immediately ordereil 
all the railroad cars and locomotives to be secnre<l, for the transportation of militia, arms, and 
supplies and ordered the Quartermaster, Commissary, and Ordnance Officers, to furnish everything 
that might be required. There were some arms, but cartridges had to be manufactured at the State 
Arsenal, after Morgan was known to be on this fide of the Ohio. The Governor and his military 
staff labored with the greatest energy and success to raise and equip the volunteers, while the dis- 
position of them was left to me, under general instructions from General Burnside. 

It was uncertain whether Morgan would move on Xew Albany and Jeffersonville, where there 
were about S4,00(l,flO() worth of public property ; or seek to burn the bridges and break up the Ohio and 
Mississippi Ilailroad, by which the Government was sending troops and suiiplies to llosecrans, or 
carry out the purpose he avowed, of marchiug on Indianapolis to release the rebel prisoners and burn 
the capital, with its arsenal, and all the arms, ammunition, and other public property stored .:it that 
point; or, linall}', vhether he would mcve jiarallel to the Ohio river, plundering as he went, until 
compelled to recioss it. Jeffersonville and New Albany belonged to the District of Kentucky, and 
were, therefore. left to General Boyle to defend. I had sent him all my servicable troops, and tliere- 
fore had nothing with which to meet Morgan. The citizen soldiery had to be raised, arnnd, 
ejjuipped, and concentrated. Cavalry was out of the question, and raw, undrilled, infantry alone 
ivas all that could be brought into the field against a cavalry column. Such were the embarrassments 
which stared us in the face; defense was our only policy. General Hobsou was pursuing Morgan 
with the Kentucky United States forces. He came to Brandenburg twelve hours behind him, and 
was there delayed by having to send to Louisville for steamers for crossing his command over the 
river, so that Morgan had eighteen hours start, and stole all the best horses in the country. The 
only assistance we could render Hobson was to hinder Morgan's march by obstructing his roads 
with the ax, the spade, and the bushwhacker's rifle. The most we could hope to effect for ourselves 
was to save our principal towns, railroad bridges, and important depots. I therefore advised the 
Governor : 1st, to send orders everywhere to scout the country, to fell timber, and to tear up bridges 
in advance of the ra-iders ; and, 2d, to order all of the militia that had arms to the line of the Ohio 
and Jlississippi Railroad: all west of Indianapolis to concentrate at Mitchell, and all east, at Sey- 
mour. This was done, and supplies were sent to those stations, and cars accumulated, so that tlie 
troops might be shipped by rail to any threatened point of our railwaj' system The chief rendezvous, 
however, was Indianapolis, where the volunteers carne pouring in by thousands, and where they 
were rapidly organized and equipped as infantry. If Morgan was bold enough to march on Indi- 
iinapolis, therefore, he would have to pass between two considerable bodies of troops on his Hanks, 
with Hobson in his rear, ami the main force of Indiana militia, animated with enthusiasm, gathered 
to defend their capital. The crossings of the Louisvil'.o and Indianapolis, and New Albany and 
Salem Kailroads over the Ohio and Jlississippi Railroad, in fact, the whole line of that road, stood 
guarded. General Hughes was placed iu command at Jlitchell, and General Love at Seymour, while 
General Hascall, also reporting to me, was assigned to the immediate command of Indianapolis. 

Morgan marched first on Corydon, where a detachment of home guards made a brave but ineffec- 
tual stand, on the 9th of July. He then advanced to Salem, Colonel Cravens retreating before him. 
He burnt part of Salem on the morning of the 10th. He threw out detachments towards Browns- 
town and Orleans. Brownstown is on llie direct road to Indianapolis, and was scouted and picke.eii 
by two companies of mounted home guards, under Capt. Shields, if is probable that Mcrgan n(JW 
learned of the forces at Mitchell, Seyniour and Indianapolis, and changed his course in consequeu-e 
tioreof; for, moving square to the right, he crossed the Louisville and Indianapolis Railroad at 
Vienna, afid rode into Lexington tliat tiight. His plans were already foiled, and the only question 
with him now was how t-o get back into Dixie. The most available point for him to strike the Ohio 
was JIadison, where he might liojie to burn the city, and cross the river with an air of Iriumidi. 
But Col. Mullen was at Madison, with some two thousand musk<'ts, and Morgan was apprisi'il of this 
fact by the appearance of a body of JIullen's mounted scouts, who came up the Madison road and 
dashed through Lexington just before break of day on the 11th, and found Morgan's men asleep in 
the Court House Square. 

Morgan again changed liis course, and turned north towards Vernon, wliere the Indianapolis and 
Madison Railroad crosses the Ohio and iMississippi Railroad, and where there is a considerable bridge, 
which it was his object to destroy. But as soon as Gen. Love, at Seymour, became satisfied that 
Morgan was moving eastward, he dispatched Colonels Williams' and Burkliam's regiments, with 
four pieces of artillery, to Vernon by rail. I telegraphed Biiirkham to hold the place at all hazards, 
• and 1 also ordered Gen. Love to the threatened point with the bahiiiee of his command. 

Leaving Col. Buckham at North Vernon, Col. Williams took his own regiment and on^company 
of Buckham's, and two pieces of artillery, to old Vernon, «nd jHisted bis small force so as to defend 
the bridge and the town.

Colonel proinjitly refused, and Morgan sent in a second tlai^ and plantcit his- artillery. Tlie Colonel 
detained thv- lieiirer of the message a aliorttime, bems Dotiiied of General Love's aiiproacli, and Love 
i»pBedily arrived with his command by rail from Seymour, and sent Morgan's lierald back with a 
courteous invitation ft>r Morgan himself to surremler. It was now near evening. The enemy made 
a movement as if to «et in between Old Vernon. and North Vernon, whie.li brought on some picket 
liring. Jfeautime, Major General Lew Wallace, havin;; \olunteered bis sei-vfces, was started with a 
brigade of newly organized volunteers and a battery, from Indianapolis, and General Hughes wa.s- 
ordered from Mitchell with his command, and both proceeded by rati to Verno-ri in timt- to have 
atta(died Morgan early on the morning of the 12th. But the enemy, after an abortive attetnpt to 
injure the railroad track, withdrew during the night. General Love sent all his cavali-y, amounting 
to ouly fifty, in quest of the enemy. Some twenty or thirty stragglers were picked np, and it wu.s 
found thiit Morgan had gone in the direction of Dr.pont. I'liiis ended the Vernon affair. 

There was every variety and contradiction of report with regard to .Morgan's nioveinetits and, in- 
tentions. But he him.self seemed utterly confounded. Ilobson Wiis pressing on his rear; our Indi- 
ana levies, as if issuing from the soil, h(>aded him olf when he turneil north ; southwardly, the town.v 
on tlie Ohio, Madison, Aurora and Lawrenceburg, were guarded, and gun boats and steamers, armed 
v/ith artillery and infantry, patroled the riv(;r; nothing, in fact, prevented his escape in Indiana, 
but our lack of cavalry ; we liad but tv/o hundred in the lield, and a company organizing at Indi- 
anap(jlis. 

Morgan crossed the Madison and Indianapolis li.'cilroad at Pupont, on the morning of the]2th, 
<lestroying a couple of petty bridges — soon repaired. Keinforcements were sent to Madison and 
Lawre'nceburg, but Jtorgan again turned suddenly, and passed through Versailles at noon, and' 
crossed the Oiiio and Mississii>pi Railroad not far from Osgood, burning the railroad bridge over 
Longhery Greek. General Hughes started his command at once for Osgood as soon as he learned 
that Morgan had turned, but the infivrination came, too late, and Morgan's horsemen easily evaded; 
locomotives and infantry. General Wallace also moved up fr(/m Vernoit with the rest of the com- 
mand, but Morgan was already acrfws the railroad. 

It was now our policy to protect the Cincinnati and iDdianapolis Baiload, and if possible con- 
centrate troi>ps in front of the enemy on that road. Colonel Shryockwas accordingly started down 
that road by i-ail with his regiment; and Colonel Gaven, on his way to Lawrencebiirg with his reg- 
iment at Greensburg, learnin.g from Colonel McQuiston that his scouts reported the enemy advancing 
from the Oluo and Mississippi Railroad to the Indianapolis and Cincinnati Kailroad, halted and re- 
I'.orted to me by telegraph, and was nrdered to Suitmaus. He took cars for Snnmans, and disem- 
barked his men. The relxds struck Iiis pickets two miles out, just Ivefore nightfall, and there was 
some slight skirmishing, but the enemy sheered olf and crossed the railroad during the night, with- 
out doing any damage, beyond burning a water-tank. Other troops w-ero hurried to the spot, but 
in the morning Morgan was in full tligiit across the .state line, and everything we had left in the way 
of troops at Iiulianapolis was shipped by rail to Hamilton, under Generalllabcall, to assL^t our sister 
State. 

At 4.30 A. M., on the 14th, Morgan was at Williamsburg, Ohio. Some of the Indiana troops sent 
by me to Kentucky, rendered good service in following up and ultimately helping to capture the 
raiders, particularly part of Myers' battery and Patton's company of cavalry. 

Indiana certainly deserves great credit at this crisis. None of her citizens proved false to their 
country, althougliMorgan had bragged that thousands would join him. On the contrary, the citi- 
zens rose as one" man, to oppose the invaders. Tlie Governor and his military stall labored with 
almost superhuman energy to organize, arm and equip, the volunteers. Nothing but our lota! 
want of cavalry prcventi'd the capture or destruction of Morgan's force. As it was, notwithstand- 
ing the thousand contradictory and alarming reports, that were telegraphed to Indianapolis from 
.■ili qu irters, we succeeded in bafiling Morgan at every turn, and forced him finally out of the State 
into Ohio, where certain capture awaited him. The damage he inflicted upon us was trifling, thir 
birire towns, arsenals, storehouses, depots, railroad bridges, and junctions that lay at his mercy, 
without a musket to defend them when he crossed the Ohio Kiver, were all saved by the rapidity 
witli which we raised troops and threw tlierfl from point to point as he advanced or turned from one 
quarter to another. He could always avoid a fight and elude attack, because his comnsand wa.s- 
wholly mounted. It) fact the Morgan Raid, was biit a flight and a faiha-c. 

It now remained to settle the various questions tliat arose on the loss ot horses by the flight and' 
pursuit of the enemy. This work was rapidly and well performed by Captain, now Brevet Brigadier 
(ieneral, .lames A. Kkin, A. Q. 51., under instructions given by myself. There was little or noth- 
ing lelt. for me to do in Indiana. The opposition to the conscription was completely quelled, and 
the (Htizens all enrolled, and all disloyal or opposing elements were fused in the immense heat of 
tliat patriotic excitement caused by the late invasion. General Buru^ide was in August, ordered 
to take the field in Tennessee, it was my wish to join my old division in the 9th corps, and so I ex- 
l)ressed myself to the Adjutant General of the Department, btit received no order on the subject 
until the ilth of September, when there came a telegram from Washington, fur me to report to 
General Buruside at Knoxville, aad the District of Indiana and Michigan was bridien ap. 

EAST TKNXK.SSKE. 

At Camp Nelson on my way through Kentucky tovfards Tennessee, in September, I \va|S ordered 
to. fit out the fonr regiments o"f six months Indiana troops just ordered to the field and toburry thenv 
forward through Cnnibcrlaud Ga]), to join Burnside. 

Colonels Malutn, Kise, Jackson and Brady, reported to me with tltelr regiments. These troop.^ 
marched with me in September, 18(j:i, and served with me in the mountainous regions crf East Tenn- 
essee until the 15th of January, 18134. The service was of the most tsrying character. Hard, long 
and rapid marches, over eitber ragged or muddy roads, fording dec-j) and rocky rivers, in autumn 
and winter, posted at outposts and isolated points, living mostly on a country already exhaust.-d of 
supplies, men often sutfering, and animals ia numbers daily dying for food, new troops, alone, 
without the cheer and confidence i-nspired by the presence and ss| port of veterans, and move-d' 
about as the pressure of emergency demanded, ontsrde of the oiMU'ations of the main army, brave- 
ly, firmly, cheerfully and well, these four regiments b(diaved under the circumstances. 

They were present at the battle of Blue Springs, Oct. 10th, suj^porting batteries and acting as. 
reserves. 

On the approach of Longstreet towards Knoxville, in November, I was left above Bull's Gap, at 
Greenville, with, scarcely any other infantry than Hi.e.se regiments and cavalry force, to hold in 
chet-k tlxe enemy's heavy force, pres.su.ns down from Abingdon, with greatly iaferloj ntua-be^s^l H;a&

finally in the fight at Walkei's Kord, Clinch River, between my command and Wheeler's cavalry, 
no troops could behave better than C(donol's Jackson and Kise's regiments — crossing the river and 
attacking the enemy as coolly and successfully as veterans. 

During the campaign the troops were brigaded and Colonels .fackson and Mahan with their brig- 
ades performed valuable and important Kcrviies and Colonels Kise and Bra<ly distinguished them- 
s 'Ives as regimental commanders ; Myers' Battery and two companies of the 3d Indiana Cavalry 
aUo gained considerable credit.

campaign in the cavalry division. These Culonel.9 Foster, (ioth mounted Infantry, and Graham's fith 
Cavalry regiments. Colonel Foster commamied the division ami Colonel Graham one of the brig- 
ades. The bravery and skill of these two officers, and the daring intrepidity of tlieir regiments iu 
covering the movements of the Infantry, witli an immense wagon and artillery train, are wortiiy 
of the praise and gratitude of the country. Atone time I was obliged to send Colonid OrahaiD 
v.ith his brigade almost to the gates of Knoxville, whilst Longstreet was beseiging that place, tlnin 
drawing upon hiuiself the whole of Wleelei's corps before which Graham fell back slowly, fight-

Genf.ral: I have the honor to make the following report of ray expedition in Kentucky, from the 
llith to the 2-2d day of August, A. D. lS(i4:. 

Being at Mt. Vernon, Indiana, ;\.vvaUiiig commands under a verbal order from the Secretary of 
War, and having received reliable infornwtion that Colonels Johnson and Seipert, of the Confede- 
rate Army, were collecting a large force in Union and Henderson counties, numbering from one tc 
t«o thousand, for t!«! purpose of crossing the Ohio River and destroying the towns on the Indiana 
border, I wrote to Major General Hughes, of the Indiana Legion, then at Evansville. Indiana, 
directing the defense of the border, stating that if sufficient force could be raised I would cross the 
river and attack the camps reported at and near Morgansfield, Kentucky, hoping to surprise and 
caiiture a large number of tho force there engaged iii conscription and jilunder. By the aid of Ma- 
jor General Hughes, and by my own exertions, I had, on the morning of the 17th day of .August, 
.\. I). lSii4, at Mt. Vernon, Indiana, the'lfilh Kegin>ent Indiana Infantry Volunteers, Colonel Bring- 
hurst commanding — 200 men ; the non-veterans of the 32d Regiment Indiana Infantry Volunteers, 
Colonel Erdelmeyer commanding — 2Ut) men ; several parts- of companies of infantry, and three com- 
panies of cavalry, of the Indiana Legion, from the counties of Vauderburg, WarricU ami Posey — 
making a force of 750 infantry and cavaliy. To this was added five pieces of artillery belonging to 
the Indiana Legion. 

The artillery not having horses, it became necessary to press them for the guns, which was done 
by myself iu Posey county, and by General Hughes in Vanderbuig county, Indiana. I also de- 
tained five steamers — the Dunleith, Cottage. Gen. Ualieck, Jennii' Hopkins, tind Jusin/^tte Rogers — 
for the purpose of transporting the infantry and to ferry the artillery and covalry across the river. 
On the morning of the 17th I started from Mt. Vernon, Indiana, with the infantry and artillery on 
transports, sending the cavalry along tho Indiana sliore until they arrived o]iposite I'niontown, 
Kentucky, there to cross on transports sent for that purpose. Wo arrived at Uniontown, Ken- 
tncky, at 2 o'clock P. M. Up to this time the movement, its obji'ct and destination, was a com- 
plete secret. Immediately moving out on the Morgansfield road, skirmishing slightly witli the- 
enemy's pickets ; we struck a camp at White Oak Springs, two miles south of Morgans lield, Kentucky, 
about 5 P. M., capturing a few prisoners and scattering Johnson's force in all directions. On the 
fSth I marched rapidly, and at an early hour, to Geiger's Lake, nine miles west of Morgansfield, 
where a largo camp v.-as reported, sending cavalry in the direction of Shawneetown, who were to. 
form a junction and act with the infantry. On our arrival found the camp hail been deserted tho 
night before, on hearing of our advance. Tlie cavalry skirmished slightly, taking a few prisoners^ 
but meeting no considerable force of the enemy. At (i P. M., General Hughes reached Morgans- 
field, witU the iuformation that General Paine had landed at Uniontown with two thousand, and 
General Preutiss at Shawnoetovin with United States troops, upon which iuformatioa I staxti^

IIeadquartkbs District of Indiana, ) 

Indianapolis, August 10, ISlio. / 
Brigadiks GEyEKAL L. Thomas, AilJutaMl G:'ncral U. S. A.: 

General: On the 2.'.th day of August, lSi;4, by authority froni the Secretary of War, I assumed 
command of the District of Indiana. Since that time, 1 have made many military arrests, com- 
mitted many citizens to prison, under charges of crime against the United State, exercised the 
power of Martial Law, and executed several prisoners, uader the sentence of Courts Martial, where 
I believed the sentences to be politic and just. 

This unusual exercise of military pov.er demands, at lay hands, an explanation before the facts 
shall fade from the meraories of men. Even now, in less than oae short year, many are looking 
back at my course, and being unable to grasp the facts which have surrounded me, are ready and 
willing to condemn my acts and asperse my character. 

Evei'y movement in an active campaign — marches, battles, seiges — demand from the commanding 
otiicer a true and succinct report. It is of as much, if not of more, importance that I, under the 
circumstances, should show the facts which impelled my action, so that the historian and my coun- 
try maj properly understand and record the stirring events of this age. 

A large portion of the people of Indiana are emigrants from the South, or their descendants, and 
«heir ties of relationship and love of former locality, were not easily forgotten. When the war first 
broke out, the people of this State, as with one accord, and without distinction of party, were 
shocked and indignant. Tiue, there were many who deeply sympathized with the rebel movement, 
and justified the tiring on Sumpter — who were williug to look with a favorable eye on the rebellion, 
.and disposed to indulge in harsh words and feelings against every movement of the E.tecutive for 
its suppression. Tiiis feeling was not common, at first, but soon assumed a definite form, and 
when the necessities of the service compelled a resort to conscription, their numbers were aug- 
mented by the timid and the fearful. The rigidity witli which the party lines had been drawn in 
former years, enabled the unscrupulous demagogues of the hour to make use of all the disaffected 
of every party, and by the mere fact of opposing tlie Administration, large numbers of the Demo- 
cratic party, who felt'it'to be their duty to oppose Mr. Lincoln, right or wrong, swelled this opposi- 
tion. Demagogues, seizing the apparent opposition to the Administration, carried the election in 
1862, and returned a majority to the House of Itepresentatives in this State, unfavorable to the 
prosecution of the war. 

The records of that body show a determined opposition to the Administration, and a desire to find 
fault with every act of the Commander-in-Chief of our armies. The trickery resorted to on every 
occasion, clearly shows that the majority were deterniined to throw every obstacle in the way of 
aiding the Government in prosecuting the war. 

On the first day of the session, Jaauary tith. ISO:!, Mr. Jones, of Wayne county, offered the fol- 
lowing resolutioa : 

"Whereas, The suppression of the rebellion, the restoration and preservation of all the States, is 
the great and paramount object of all loyal citizens ; therefore, be it 

'•iiesoifcJ, That the members of this Legislature will vote for no man for office who is not in favor 
oi a, vigorous prosecution of the war, and who is wot unalter.ably opposed to the severance of any 
SLiite or States /jf the Union." 



STATISTICS AND DOCUMENTS. 283 

This rpsolution w as burifd by rcforririK it to a CommitteK on Federal Relation.", from whence, like 
otlier resolutions which favored tlii^ piosecution of the war, it was never permitted to re-apjiear. 

On the following day, a strong and bitter resolution was jiassed by the opposition, styling them- 
selves Democrats, condemnatory of the action of the President and military authorities in making 
arrests, attempting to curb the press of the North, and the s\ipprcssion of the writ of habeas corpus. 
This resolution styles these acts as "Arbitrary, violent, insulting, and degrading to a degree un- 
known to any government on earth, except those avowedly and notoriously wicked, cruel, and 
despotic." And yet. up to this time, I have not learned of a single arrest that was not based \ipon 
crimi- committed against the Government, and which was not justified in the eyes of all loyal men 
who desired the suppression of the rebellion. 

The attempt was also made at the same session, by these partisans, to deprive Governor Morton of 
his constitutional right, as Commander-in-Chief, to control the INIilitia of the iState, and confer his 
powers upon three officials — since proven to belong to the disloyal organisations of the " Knights 
of the Golden Circle" and "8ons of Liberty." Opposition throughout the State to the enforce- 
ment of the respective drafts found ready and willing supporters in those who raised these Repre- 
sentatives into power. 

A few extracts and statements from the resolutions of this class of public enemies, who were 
fighting us in the rear, will shctw the spirit which animated them in their unjustifiable and treason- 
able course towards our Government.

its Provost Marshals and police officials, arresting free white men for what they conceive to be their 
duty within the plain provisions of the Constitution, and maintain peace in the loyal States. Blood 
will flow! They cannot and shall not forge fetters for our limbs without a struggle for the mas- 
tery." (Quoted almost verbatim from Hon. Dan.Voorliees' speech on the Conscript Bill, February 
23, 18U3.) 

At the State Democratic Mass Convention, May 30, 18G3, many in attendance were arrested and 
fifteen hundred revolvers were taken on the Central and Peru trains. 

.Mien county, August 3, States rights radical. "That, iu view of these facts, we declare the 
proposed draft for five hundred thousand (.')00,0i)0) men the most damnable of all of the outrages 
tbatjhave been perpetrated upon the people by this administration, and we further declare that the 
honor, dignity and safety of the people demand that against ruin and enslavement, they must 
aiiord to themselves that protection which usurpation antl tyranny deny them." 

It would be grossly unjust to the people of this State, to say that the old Democratie party, as a 
mass, entertained these view», or were in fact tainted with the disloyalty expressed in these reso- 
lutions. The Democratic party, during these troublous times, had several distinct classes that 
comprised the whole: 

First — There was, as in all parties, an honest class that support their leaders, believing in their 
infallibility. 

Second — A class of men who really feared the dangers and hardships of the army, and shrank, 
coward-like, from the perils of the hour. This class came from all the old parties. 

Third — A deluded class, who believed that the Government would prove unsuccessful, and that 
mountains of taxes woiild fall upon themselves to defray the e.xpecses of this war. 

Fourth — A corrupt set of traitors, many of whom were bribed by rebel gold, and led on by par- 
tisan hatred, by Southern association and affiliations to support the South. This class, at first far

ADJUTANT GENERAL S REPORT. 



intVrior in nuiiili ■rs to any of thi' othfr^, was more active and untiring, aiul by moans of sonot 
sdcictins ainl 8oulliera ^nM, cuntiiuleil, as tar as tln'y cimlii, the ottic'i-rs of tin; State. A largn 
portion of the la.st namc.il class, in the conrse of time, l.ircame active traitors— conspired against the 
Government — received over tive hundred tliousand ($.JOU,(IOO) dollars of rebel gold to arm their 
societies — formed tlieir compar.ies and regiments— divided the State into districts— appointed their 
ofiicers, incUirling one Grand Commander, Harrison H. Dodd ; one Deputy Grand Commander, 
Horace HeflVen ; four Major Generals, Bowles, JHlligan, Humphreys and Walker, and had made 
all the preparations for involving in its treasonable plans the entire Democracy of the State. iMany 
of the "Sons of Liberty " liad intended to create a rebellion in the State on tlie liith day of August, 
18G4, b}' concentrating a Democratic Mass Meeting at Indianapolis, seizing the United States 
Arsenal, liberating five thousand (o, 000) rebel prisoners then at Camp Morton, and with lire ami 
sword pressing forward to jsiin Buckner in Kentucky. Several events frustrated this plan : 

First — The rebels of Illinois and Missouri were to rise at the same time and meet General Price, 
who was to invade Missouri. Price, as is well known, was unable to make the invasion as contem- 
plated, only reaching the western boundaries of that State. 

Second — General Buckner's forces, a part of which was composed of Colonel Seipert and Colonel 
Johnson's commands, commenced conscripting men for tlie rebel cause in Kentucky, and threaten- 
ing our border on the Ohio river. With the Forty -Sixth and Thirtj-Second Indiana Volunteers, 
and Militia raised in Posey and Vanderburgh counties, I drove these forces back from the banks of 
the Ohio, on the l-ith of August, whicli had a decided effect upon public feeling in Indiana. A 
report of this alTair has already been made to the Adjutant General. 

Third — And proliably the strongest reason, in this State, why the outbreak did not occur at that 
time, was the fact that tlie Hon. M. 0. Kerr, Member of Congress, Second Congressional District, 
and Hon. .Joseph E. McDonald, and others, who were leaders of the Democracy at the time, learned 
the fact, called a meeting at Indianapolis, and prevailed upon tliuse commanding the conspiracy to 
desist. 

Arms of the conspirators had been seized at Indianapolis, and others were known to have been 
scattered throughout the State, and plactjd in the hands of the disloyal. Kebel emissaries and 
otlicers had been sent by President Davis, to'lead the rebel forces that might be liberated, and those 
who might volunteer from this State to join tlie flag of the rebellion. With the full knowledge of the 
presence of these officials in Indianapolis, tlie Chairman of the Democratic Central Committee, the 
editor of the Democratic organ in this State, Joseph J. Bingham, remained silent, permitted them 
to mature tiieir schemes, and unmolested to depart. Repeatedly denying the existence of the secret 
order of tlie "Sons of Liberty,"' in his paper, while he was a member, he continued denouncing 
the Administration, and in many and indirect ways opposing the draft, uutil be was arrested for 
conspiracy. It is but justice to him to say that, brought to the stand, he testified to the facts that 
he had long been a member of the order, knew the treasonable designs of some of the niemliers, the 
presence of rebel officers in the city of Indianapolis, and that he did all in his power to prevent the 
contemplated outbreak on tiie llith day of August. 

I mention these facts with no partisan feeling, and " more in sorrow than in anger,'' and I regret 
that I am compelled to name parties in this connection, and only do so to present a clear under- 
Btanding of my position during my command in this District. Mr. Bingham is still Chairman of 
the Democratic C'entral Committee, and chief editor of the Seniiiicl. This may mean something or 
uothing, as the wise historians of the future may determine. 

In this condition, with the Government denounced and the laws defied, the record of th" crimes 
of the conspirators is still to be enlarged by wanton murders of officers and soldiers in several jiarts 
of the State. The following, among others, may be mentioned: 

January 30, ISlj:! — A detail of soldiers, arresting deserters, at Waverly, Morgan county, firrd on 
by rebel sympathizers. 

January 1st. — Deserters rescued by an armed force, in Noble township, Jay county, Indiana. 

.June 12. — Resistance to the enrollment, by armed men, in Johnson county. 

June 15. — Fifty armed men attacked the house of James Sill, enrolling officer of Marion town- 
ship, Putnam county, and demanded the enrollment lists. Sixty shots were fired at the house, after 
leaving. At the same time the eurollment books and papers were destroyed in Jefl'i'rson township, 
Putnam county. 

The same week the books of Cloverdale township, Putnam county, were stolen. 

June 15.— The enrolling officer of Whitestown, Boone county, was interfered with by rioters, to 
prevent an enrollment. 

June 18. — Fletcher Freeman, enrolling officer of Sullivan county, shot dead. 

June 11.— The enrolling officer of Waterloo township, Fayette county, was fired on while in the 
discharge of his duties. 

June 10. — Hon. Frank Stevens killed, and Craycraff wounded, near Manilla, wliile enrolling 
Walker township. Rush county. A short time before this, the liushrille Jacksoiiian, a Democratic 
paper, had advised the enrolling officers to insure their lives before commencing the enrollment. 

June 20 — Or about that time, the enrollment was resisted in Indian Creek township, ]\louroe 
county, and papers destroyed. 

June lU.— The enrolling officer of Daviess county was notified not to enroll the count}'. 

October 3, ISG4. — Captain Eli McC'arty murdered in Daviess county, while serving notices on 
drafted men. 

With their hands red with the blood of these innocent officers and men, their unlawful combina- 
tions were drilling for warlike duty in several counties in the State, and defying those who 
attempted to enfoi'ce the law. .With secret societies numbering about forty thousand (40,000) mem- 
bers, meeting at midnight, plotting treason, and threatening the life of the Governor of the State, 
I was by special order from the War Department placed in command of this District with power to 
make military arrests. 

Great excitement prevailed. The elections for Governor and State and Federal offices were being 
canvassed, and both parties expressed great fears of fraud and force being used at the polls. On 
the democratic State ticket three prominent gentlemen, known to belong to the "Sons of Liberty," 
were candidates for re-election. The conspirators were defiant and sanguine of defeating the Union 
candidates with the democratic nominees. During this exciting period I deemed it necessary, for 
the purpose of bringing the great criminals of this State to justice and opening the eyes of the 
honest, to arrest Harrison H. Dodd, L. P Milligan, Andy Humjdireys, Horace HefJren, James 
Wilson, M. D., William A. Bowles, Stephen Horseyand others, as officers of the army of conspira- 
tors, and Joseph J. Bingham and others as aiders and abettors of the treason. The trials of some 
of those arrested have become historical and need no further mention. The evidence elicited, made 
patent, the treasonable designs of the conspirators, and the people who were opposed to the prose-

phant ni:ijiiriiies for (Jovernor Morton and tlio Union candidates in 18G4. 

iJingliani, Wilson, Hcftiiii and Harrison worn nsod as witnesses in the trials of Dodd, I'.owlos, 
Milligan and otliers, not only to prove tlie conspiracy, but to convince the public mind, and were in 
consequence released from arrest. Ulany more instances of outrage against tiu; agents of tlie Gov- 
ernment, and many additional res<dves might be recited, which would clearly show the evil acts 
and designs of relnd sympathizers in Indiana 

The history of every county is tilled witli the memory of their disloyalty. Knough lias been shown, I 
tliink, to exhibit the spirit of the hour and the age, and justify the military authorities in taking 
activit steps to crusli this home rebellion, and in bringing the guilty conspirators to justice. Courts, 
composed of the bravctst. the purest and the best of the land, have set in judgment and their sen- 
tences are now a part of the history of the country. With a clear understanding of the events of 
the pa.>t, I have notliing to fear from the judgment of the present or the future. 

Knowing the people of my native Stati', knowing tlie ability of those who let tlie opposition to 
the suppres-ion of the rebellion, knowing the danger and the necessities of the hour, I smote as 
many of the heads of the hydra, as my saber could safely reach, and thmij;h, as in ancient days, 
they seemed for awhile to multiply, there are but lew now to be found who will willingly admit that 
tlif'ii sprang from the monster. 

1 may have erred hut have not yet been made conscious of the fact. Drafted men and others 
who wen; fearful of being compelled to enter the army under the last conscription, raised the prices 
of substitutes in this District in the autumn of ISU-l, and large amounts were paid, in some cases 
reaching as high as eighteen hundred (18IKI) dollars. This drew to this State from Canada and the 
North hundreds of professional bounty jumbers — no less than three hundred and fifty (:55U) of 
whom Were arrested and imprisoned during my command. 

Tlie evil of "bounty jumping" became very great. At least one thousand had received the 
bounties and deserted from the draft rendezvous, then under command of Brigadier Geni'ral Car- 
rington, so that I deemed it necessary to resort to the most severe measures to prevent it. Accord- 
ingly on the 2lJd day of December, lSr,-l, I caused three of the most infamous of this class, after being 
trie<l and condemned, to be shot to death. Tliis with sending about two hundred and sixty (2(10) to 
the front in chains, had the desired effect and "bounty jumping" ceased to be a crime in this District. 

The peculiar condition of my command required an active secret police for this service. Jly ac- 
counts have been rendered and I am gratified that the amounts taken and retained from "bounty 
jumpers " far exceeds the expenditures, as my reports and accounts heretofore forwarded will show. 

To the members of my staff. Major J. W. Walker, A. A. G., Captain A. 0. Kemper, A. A. G., (my 
former A. D. C.,) Captain Jolin T. SIcQuiddy, (now Lieutenant Colonel of the Hundred and i'ovty- 
Thir<l Kegimeiit Indiana Volunteers,) Capt Hugh Middleton, A. D. C Lieutenant Thomas W. 
Lord, .\. D. C, Captain Fergus Walker, A. A. I. 6., Surgeon J. S. Bobbs, Medical Director, 
Captain .lames Wilson, A. Q M. and Captain Joseph P. Pope, A. C. S., I am greatly indebted for 
their faithful and efficient services. 

The Government is greatly indebted to Brevet Coloncd IT. L. Burnett, Judge Advocate of the De- 
partment, for his able and successful prosecution of the conspirators of this State. Praise is duo 
Captain .]. D. Taylor, Judge Advocate of this District, for his long and successful labors in trying 
cases ami liringing criminals to justice. 

Brevet Brigiulier General A. A. Stevens, commanding camps Burnside and Morton, with the diffi- 
cult and trying position of commandant at the camp of rebel prisoners, has performed his duty to 
my approval ai.d entire satisfaction. I have repeatedly, with pride, conducted visitors to his camp, 
to show his military discipline and the order and neatness that prevailed througiiout his barracks 
and prisons. An equal share of honor is likewise due to Colonel A. J. Warner, Seventeenth Jiegi- 
ment Veteran Reserve Corps, for the great and continued services of himself and regiment, as tlie 
police force of thi! District too much praise cannot be bestowed upon this command. 

I herewith transmit an abstract showing the number of trials, convictions and acquittals by Mil- 
itary Courts in this command, with the character of the crimes alleged against the accused.

To W. 11. II. 'Yi^aKli.l.h, Ailjntant General Slate of Indiana : 

Sik: — In reply to your communication, requesting a statement of the services of the regiment 
under my command, while stationed at Indianapolis, I have the honor to submit tlie following brii^f 
summary of the. duties performed by the ollicers and men of the Seventeeutli Iteginient Veteran 
Reserve Corps, while doing duty in tlie State of Indiana : 

The Veteran Keserve Corps was organized liy transferring to it, from hospitals and convalscent 
camps, men and officers who had been disabled in the field, by wounds or otherwise, and, in con- 
sequence, were unable to endure the fatigue and exposure of active campaigning. 

The Seventeenth Regiment was thus organized, in January, 18ii4, and assigned to duty at Indian- 
apolis. At this time veteran regiments were returning home from the field to re-organize and enjoy 
the furloughs ur.-mted them as re-enlisted veterans, and the position of the city of Indianapolis, as 
a great railway center, made it a jilace of general rendezvous for the troops in the Western Depart- 
ment. Tliis condition, which continued with the organization of new regiments and the final 
return of troops for muster out, necessitated stringent military police regulations, and a part of 
the regiment was at once organized into provost guards, to patrol the streets and preserve order 
among soldiers present in the city. The faithful performance of tliis duty involved many questions 
of importance. 

The. unrestricted sale of intoxicating liquors to transient soldiers thronging a city like Indianapolis, 
must always lead to more or less drunkenness, disorder, and often to the more serious consequences of 
contentions and riots, followed by the destruction of property and loss of life. Tlie civil authorities 
had not the power to interpose effectually, by legal process, to control this evil, and to preserve 
good order without striking at the principal cause was simply impossible. It would bo worse than 
useless to punish men, afterwards, for ofi'enccs committed wliile intoxicated, and at the same time 
allow every temptation to indulgence to be spread before them. 

As a protection, therefore, both to the city and the army, it became necessary to restrict, by mili- 
tary authority, the sale of liquors to soldiers, and in carrying out these regulations, rigid measures 
sometimes had to be resorted to. In many instances liquors were emptied out, and, in some cases, 
shops closed. The good effect, however, of such regulations, wliich were remedial and necessary, 
rather than arbitrary, became very manifest. 

While these duties were performed by one portion of the regiment, as patrols and provost guards, 
another part were charged with the duty of guarding the arsenals, military store house, and <lepot.s 
of supplies, in and about tlie city. Tliese stores were repeatedly threatened by Northern disaffected 
jiartisans aud rebel sympatliizers, who, in conjunction with their more open allies of tlie Kentucky 
border, plotted to liberate rebel prisoners, and seize upon these supplies, especially the arms, as tlie 
first step toward accomplishing their traitorous designs. 

Tlie Order of "Sous of Liberty " had, in tlie summer of 18G4, under the leadership of a few reck- 
less demag(.gues, effected an organization that threatened even open hostilities against both the 
State and National authorities, Tliey secretly procured and distributed arms among their followers 
and dupes, and assumed a boldness tliat merited swifter retribution than was accorded them. In 
August, 1864, a number of boxes of arms and ammunition, secretly transported as " Sunday School 
Books and Tracts," were brought to Indianapolis, and secreted in a building, in a room of which 
tlie Grand Council of the Order held its metings, and kept its records, rituals and seal. Information 
of this bold plot was given to the Governor, aud the arms were seized, and the seal and records of 
tlie Order, which were discovered in searching for the arms, were taken in charge. Several of tin- 
leaders were arrested, and the Order effectually broken up in Indianapolis, and subsequently, under 
the prompt and efficient administration of General Hovey, leaders in other parts of the State were 
arrested, and the power of the organization for mischief was destroyed. 

The men and officers of the Seventeenth Regiment were principally charged with the execution of 
orders pertaining to these movements throughout the State, i 

The I'rovost Marshal's Department, also, was supplied with men for duty chiefly from theA'eteran 
Keserve Corps. The arrest of deserters, aud the enforcement of the draft, became a work of great 
importance to our army, and necessarily embraced a wide field of duty. Guards were s-'Ut to every 
part of tlie State, usually under the control of a non-commissioned officer, but often had to be left 
to act upon their own judgment, which trust was seldom violated by the citizen solili'M-, fully 
conscious of the nature of his duties, and the requirements of the cause he was contending for. 

A large and reliable part of the regiment was also required to conduct to the front recruits, 
drafted men, and prisoners, and so exacting were these various duties that, at times, every man 
and officer at the post were kept continually on duty. 

In the summer and fall of ISli-l, when the army was being recruited, preparatory to the final 
movements that were to crush out the remaining life of the rebellion, large bounties were offered by 
the Government to secure enlistments, aud larger bounties paid for substitutes, which opened the 
doors to unlimited frauds, and led to the organization of gangs of unscrupulous adventurers who 
made it a business to go from place to place and enlist for the largest bounties they could command, 
and immediately desert, to repeat the same offense at another point. Hundreds, if not thousands, 
of men from the British Provinces, hordes of deserters from the rebel army, foreigners from every 
country, professional thieves, gamblers, and "rougiis," from every city, turned in to "fill quotas," 
and divide among them the greenbacks so profusely given out from the Treasury. They prevented 
the army from being filled by crowding the rolls with fictitious names, on-wliich many of then; 
drew bounties a score of times. It is impo.ssiblo to tidl how many men stand represented on the 
muster-rolls of the army by this class of villains, but they must be counted by tens, if not by hun- 
dreds of tliousands. . . 

It is not probable that Indianapolis was visited by more of this class of recruits than other cities, 
but they certainly entered largely into the number that made up the quotas of 1S(J4. The utmost 
vigilance was required to detect "and arrest this class of deserters, and the duty wus of a kind re- 
quiring shrewdness, courage, and decision on the part of the soldier. 



STATISTICa AND DOCUMETNS. 287 

A cew ami coraiundious Military Prison was built for tlie reception of iIio?o ^itTcmlcr.'*, ;inil -.i 
?tron>i; giiani kept about it. Wlien a sufliciout inirnbcr of "l>omity-jumpers,'" as these bounty desert- 
ers were called, were collected to form a gauR, tliey were tied together and forwarded under stroiifi 
guards. Several of these gangs were first paraded through the streets of Indianapolis, witli 
placards upon their backs exposing" tlieisi, as a warning to tliose who niij;ht be tempted to embark 
in the eanie undertahing. Several were tried by Courts Martial, and tliree of the snost desperate 
characters, havinf; been found guilty of repeated desertion, were executed by being "shot to death" 
on the parade-grou7>d near Camp Morton. A fonrth, nanled Doyle, was also sentenced to suffiT the^ 
same penalty, but his case being taken to President Lincoln by a brother, his eaecution was pi>tit- 
)ioned, under the President's order, until the close of tie war rendered this extreme penalty unnec- 
essary. Those forwarded in gangs jjenerally made their escape, however, after reaching the front, 
."<o that, although the severe measures adopted broke up the basiness of jnnipjag bounties, in Indi- 
anapolis, still such faen were never of anj- use to the Government. They helped to fight no battles 
— they won no victories ; and the resnlt of this experience of our Government in raising men t'> 
fight its battles by the temptation of large bounties, must ever stand as evidence against such a 
scheme. Money, thus offered, did not make patriotism, yrhile it opened the broadest avenues to 
peculation, fraud, and crime. Highwaymen, thieves, gamblers, and the whole fraternity of unscru- 
pulous sconndrels that seemed to throng the country tovrards the close of the war, found the 
"bounty business" easy to enter, detection ditfirult, and the dangers less than attended their ordi- 
nary avocations ; while thousands who had not been schooled to crime v?ero drawn i»to the saim- 
tide and l«orus along, almost unconscious of the Magnitude of their crirse. 

At the Soldiers' Home, one company of the Second Battallion Veteran Reserve Corp^i. composed 
of men so disabled as to be unfit to bear arms, was kept on duty as attendants at the hospital, or a-> 
cooks and attendants in the kitchen and dining depaitcicnts. 

The Soldiers' Home at Indianapolis was an institution well known throughout all the States as a 
place where meals v/ere served to all troops passing through and stopping at ludianapolis, as vrelj 
as a general depot for transient soldiers on furlough, sick, or awaiting orders. 

Credit is especially due to Lieutenant Colonel Gardiner, 17(h lieginient, Lieatenant Simmons, Ad- 
jutant, Captains Craig and Middleton, Provost Marshals, and the other officers of the regiment, for 
the efficiency and discipline of the miyn on duty under my command. 

Finally, it is, perhaps, a n>atter worthy of record that during the periol of my command at 
Indianajiolis, no conflict or niisnndurstanding occurred between the civil ai.d military authorities 
On the contrary, every etfort of the military authorities to preserve order and bring offenders ti> 
justice -.ffere supported by tlie excellent Mayor and efficient police force of the city. 

I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

Genkral \V. H. H. Tekkeil, AJJulant Gmieral Indiana, InJiannpoIh, Indiana: 

Dkar Genfeal :— Your esteemed favor of the 10th inst., lias been received ; and with many thank? 
for your kind consideration, I shall proceed to give you, as requested, a brief account of lijy servi- 
ces in the Quartermaster's Department : 

On the 2tith of April, 18G1, I was commissioned by the Governor of Pennsylvania as Hegimental 
Quartermaster of the 12tli Kegiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers and entered the service of the Uni- 
ted States in that capacity, at that date. 

On the 7th of August, 1801, I was appointed by the President of the Tnifed States, Captain and 
Assistant Quartermaster at Pittsbnrg, Pa., where I also performed, at (he saftie time, the duties of 
Acting Commissary of Subsistance and Recruiting Officer. Whilst on duty at Pittsbnrg, my dis- 
bursements in these several capacities amounted to S10,lo;j..'i.l. 

On the lijth of October, 18G1, I was ordered to proceed to Indianapolis, Indiana, and took charge 
of the Quartermasters' Department at that place, on the 2Sth of the same month. I remained at 
Indianapolis on this duty until the 21th of December, 18(i:!, and during this period — twenty-si.'c 
months — I disbursed and properly accounted for the sum of S7,.')07,77(>.4:i. Of this amount S3,80o,- 
ti08.75, were disbursed for 28,211 horses, .'),G:ii;mule3, 132,G8U bushels of corn, .'5.'5,1.")0 bushels of oats, 
■■>,:!57 tons of hay, 512 tons of straw, 20,058 cords of wood, and for miscellaneous supplies; §l,:5o4,- 
422.53 for transportation of troops and supplies and services in (luartermaster's Di'partment ; and 
S2, 347, 730. 15 for clothii:g, camp and garrison cquippage, and incidental expenses of the army. 

Of the above amount S83,. 394. 4!) were received from sales at public auction of horses abandoned 
during the Morgan Raid in .July 18i;3, and taken up by mo. 

Whilst on duty at Indianapolis I furnished transportation for 145,079 enlisted men and for 0,. 502 
tons of Quartermaster's, Commissary's and onlnauce stores. I also had manufactured within the 
same period 21,250 pairs trousers for infantry, and the same number of uniform coats (infantiy) at 
a cost for making both of ?4r),.593.75. 

This work gave employment to a large number of the widows and wives of soldi'Ts who liad fall- 
en or were battling in defense of the Union. During the same time I issued 171,718 uniforms with 
requisite camp equippage, to Iniliana volunteers. I also caused to be erected additions to the City 
Hospital at Indianapolis, at a cost of S7,220, likewise a home for absentee soldiers, at a cost of 31,- 
114.12. For the erection of barrack.s I furnished about 000,000 feet of lumber. 



288 ADJUTANT GISNERAl's REPORT. 

The firet ifjrisoiicrs takpii, in any great nnmbers, during; the war, were sent in Fr^niary, ISC'2, 
StnnK'diately afier tUa capture of Furt Donalson, to Iniliunupolis. They nnnibcrvil upwards uf 
three th usand ; ami although but twenty-four liours notice was received of their arrival, amplu 
accommodations were provided for them at (Janip Morti.n. 

In Au,u:u!5t, 18h3, wtiile on duty at Iiitliaiiapolis, I rei'eived a telegram from the Quartermaster 
iSeueral inforniiiif; me thataccojninodatioiis were required at that place for 3,5U0 drafted men. With- 
in a week from the date of the telegram, I had ample arrangements made a new camp called 
" Camp (Jarrington." Capacious grounas were enclosed, comfortable barracks erected, an abinid- 
■;iiice of water supplied, nnd Buitabli- facilities provided for keeping the rend' zvons and its sur- 
roundings in a stale <if perfect cleanliness. A pood hospital was also provided, and the camp was 
in all respects one of the most commodious in the country. 

I am much iuilebted to General Henry B. ('arringtoii, commanding District of Indiana ; General 
J. S. k?inionson, U. S. A., Mustering and Disbursijig Officer, C ptain John II» Tarquiiar, Kecruit- 
ingand Disbursing Officer, Colonel (now Governor) Conrad Baker, Acting Assistant l^rovost Mar- 
shal General for Indiana, and Adjutant Geu(^ral Laz Noble, for their valuable assistance and co- 
operation in tlie discharge of my olfi<;ial duties at Indianapolis ; and it is one of my most pleasing 
and cherished renienihrances, that duringKiy stay in that city, the njost asiri-eable relations — 
uninterrupted during th<! whole twenty-six -mojitlis — existed between myself and Governor Morton 
*ind the othe.r State authorities, whose kindHess and courtesy I can never forget. 

To yon, also, in your capacity aa Military Secretary to Governor Morton, 1 am under many obli- 
gations for efficient aid and courteous attention daring my service at Indianapolis ; end it is to nie 
a gratifying reflection that our personal intercourse was always, as now, of the most friendly char- 
iiCler. 

In the fall of ISHfi, under instructions from the Quartermaster Geneial, I selected and made ar- 
j-aiigenients for the purchase of a commanding and beautiful site in Crown Hill Cemetery, for the 
re-interment of The remains of Union s(ddiers tiiat had been buried in G'reeu Lawn Cemetery at 
Indianapolis. The bodies of 707 of the gallant dead of Indiana were thus carefully re-coffined, re- 
moved and re-interrwl iu a more suttalde resting placi-^ 

On the ]:u,h of March ISii^, whilst on duty at Indianapolis, I was commissioned Cuptaiu and 
' Assistant Quartermaster in the Kegular Ainiy. 

On the 21st of December, 18(;3, I was ordered to V.'ashington, D. C, where I was assigned to duty 
as Chief Quartermaster of the Cavalry Bureau on the '.i'.lth of the same month.

Division of the Quarterninster General s tdliee, with the lank of Colonel, to date from the 2d of 
August, lf>ii4. 

On the 8th of March, 18(15, I was appcjinted I'.revet Brigadier General, U. S. Volunteers. 

On the 28th of June, 1S(;,'J, I received three brevet appointments as Major, Lieutenant Colonel 
atid Colonel in tin' Kegular Army, for "faithful and tneritorious services during the war" to date 
from March l:;th, 18':."). 

Oil the 17tli of .Inly, 18i;i;, I was commissioned Brevet Brigadier General in the Eegular ,\rmyi 
to rank as such fronr March loth 18i:5. 

On the 1st of Decejnber, 18i;i;, I was appointi'd Deputy Quartermaster General, with the rank of 
Lieutenant Colonel C. S. A., (under tUe Act approve<l July 2Slh, ISljG) to rank us sncii from the 2;itli 
of .Inly, 18nii. 

Fiiim the 2!Uh of December, ISliS, when, as before slated, I entered upon duty as Chief Quarter-

I disbursed on account of Cavalry and Artillery horses and lynles the sum of ?19,t)58,3ii0.8."). 

My total disbursements, while disbursing officer of the (iuartermaster's Department, amounted 
to $27,6Uh,24().81. 

Whilst I was Chief Quartermaster of the Cavalry Bureau I directed the purchase and issue of 
all Cavalry horses needed for the army ; and wliile in cliargi- of the First I)ivision of th<^ Quarter-

There were purchasi'd, umler my direction, from January 1st, lSi;4, to June .'iOth, ISC", 204, .''Jl 
Cavalry horses, and from September 1st 18U5, to the same date, 20,772 Artillery horses aud 50,751;

KEPORT OF SURGEON VOYLES. 

Mautinsdukg, Washington County, Indian.\, September 20, 1SG.5. 

BRiGiDir.R General W. H. H. Terrell, Adjutant General of Indiana. 

Sir:— In obedience to the request of the Governor, as expressed in your circular of August 2d, I 
will endeavor to report respectfully, in a brief manner, some of the more important farts observed 
during my connection with the Sixty-Sixtli Regiment Indiana Infantry in regard to those things 
thiit intluence the health of an army. 

As my Regiment, during my connection with it, of one year and a lialfs dnralinn, only partici- 
pated in two small engagements, my opportunities for studying wounils were not as good as that of 
many other medical officers, and to those I will leave the task of reporting on that subject. The 
few facts of which I wish to speak are those that are connected with the sanitary condition of an 
army ; ficts not developed during this war, but strengthed by the observations and experiences of 
those engaged in it. 

The diseases that principally afflict an army in the field may be appropriately arranged into six 
general classes with reference to their etiology. Those that result from cold, as contracted by 
sleeping on the ground and exposure to iuclem»-nt weather ; those that result from errors in diet, 
as excessive and irregular eating, or eating badly cooked and otherwise unwholesome food ; those 
that result from fatigue and over exertion ; those that result from infection ; those that result from 
miasmatic inHuence, and those that are the result of injuries received in battle. 

Perhaps in few cases are the diseases that prevail, the result of any one of these causes acting 
separately. At all times these causes all exist, to a greater or less extent, and often conspire to 
bring on diseased action. 

The two iirst causes mentinoned, namely, cold and errors in diet, attracted my attention mostly, 
since they conld be averted to a greater extent than they usually are, but for cei tain reasons which 
I will endeavor to explain. 

The American citizen, the most brave and patriotic man in the civilized world — the man most 
ready to abandon the peaceful pursuits of private life, to volunteer in the defense of his country, 
and to endure all the hardships and privations of the tenteil field f .r liis country's good, is, nevc-r- 
theless, from the very character of the institutions under which he was reared, an unwilling sub- 
ject to military discipline. He is not insubordinate, but submits to the strict rules of military disci- 
pline only from a sense of duty to his country. 

He guards well his individual right, and is extremely jealous least some tyrannical officer, under 
the pretense of enforcing military discipline, subjects him to uiuu-cessaiy rules. The anathemas 
that be hurls agitinst such an offender proves well the character 'hat I havi? ascribed to him. This 
being true, it is often extremely diflicult to convince the American scddier that the most strict 
attention to personal cleanliness, to the avoidance of unnecessary exposure to cold and rain when 
off duty, and to the prohibition of certain articles of diit and particular modes of cooking which 
experience has proven highly prejudicial to the health of an army, is actually necessary to his 
self-preservation, and is not merely un infringement upon his individual privileges by usurping 
ollicers. 

Not seeing clearly the necessity of these things, during the first months of his soldier-life, he is 
often unwilling to carry out tlu! suggestions of his medical ofKcer, and ajiparently regards them as 
vindiclive attacks upon his individual rights. 

A want of co-operation, therefore, between the surgeon and soldier in an efTort to enforce strict 
sanitary regulations, is one of the standing difficulties in the army of the United States. The 
sureeon, baffled in his efforts to discharge his duty, through the want of the assistance of the 
soldier, next appeals, through the commanding ollicer of the regiment, to the company officers to 
enforce liis sanitary hieasures. 

Here another difficulty arises; in the volunteer service, during the first years of the war, officrs 
were in many instances elected or promoted on the recommendation of the men. When this was 
the custom, individual interest sometimes conflicted with official duty. The inf'rior officers' to 
whom were entrusted the enforcement of these sanitary regulations, knowing that many of the 
men were violently opposed to tliem, would allow them to evade the order, rather than incur their 
displeasure ann thereby lose their promotion. Hence, I conclude that the election of officers in 
an army, however much it may be in accordance with our Democratic institutions, is, nevertheless, 
detrimental to its h(talth aud discipline. Having secured the eiifo cement of sanitary measures, 
the most important method of contracting cold and the diseases resulting therefrom, that of sleep- 
ing on the ground must be constantly guarded against. All military experience has proven this a 
most prolific source of disease. The tul-clnth, an indispensible article in the outfit of a soldier, is 
a valuable aid in case of emergency, as it will, when spread on the grotmd, aliord much protection ; 
but it will not keep out dampness, unless some rubbisii be placed between it and the ground, aud 
must not be relied upon wholly for general use.

ADJUTANT GENERALS REPORT, 



TliP errors in diot which coi. tribute bo much to tlie diseases of an army are of <a two-fold char- 
acter, namely : The mode of preparation and the manner of eating the food. In regard to the mode 
of preparation, thut practice so stubbornly persisted in by the Western soldier, of frying meat and 
bread, is, of all others, the most reprehensible. Wo have seen the sick list rise and fall twenty or 
thirty per cent, in two or three days, upon the adoption or abandonment of this practice. 

Excessive eating, in the army of the United States, is a common occurrence, notwithstanding 
the cry of " hard tack." The ration, when issued in full, and of good quality, is more thau suffi- 
cient to meet the demand of the system, but as there is such a monotony about the diet of an 
army the cravings of the appetite for a change is absolutely irresistible; and the soldier will 
jiurcliase from the pie and cake venders and from the suttler any and every edible thing offered for 
sale. This is more strictly true of convalescents whose appetites are abnormal, and it is from this 
cause that many diseases originate, and from it many relapses are brought on in diseases from 
which the soldier was recovering. To remove this cause — to break up this practice— is almost an 
impossibility. 

I have, in connection with this subject, long since become thoroughly convinced that pie and 
cake venders and suttlers are not only an unnecessary accompaniment to an army, but absolutely a 
nuisance. They seldom have anything actually necessary to human existence; and not often any 
of the luxuries of life, beyond the tobacco line. If the Government would add to the ration list 
that indispensable article, tobacco, (indispensable from habit and practice, but not in fact,) and 
abolish the office of sutler, and leave the supply of luxuries to be furnished by the people, as vol- 
untary contributions, through the Sanitary Commission, it would certainly be an improvement in 
the sanitary condition of the army. 

The Sanitary Commission — an institution called into existence during the late rebellion — wilS 
hencefiMth become permanent in its character, and wherever the calamity of war shall fall on a 
civilized nation, its ministering angels will hover around the field of carnage and smoothe the dying 
pillow of many a fallen hero, and to its keeping may be safely entrusted the duty of supplying the 
daintiei, of life to the sick and languishing soldier. 

I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, 

DAVin W. VOYLES, M. D., 
Late Surgeon (JGth Kegiment Indiana Infantry.

office. I regret that there has been so much delay in furnishing a reply to your inquiries, and can 
only apologize for it by saying that in the hurry of business your letter was misplaced and over- 
looked. 

Soon after the commencement of the rebellion an appropriation of one hundred thousand dollars 
was made by the State Legislature and placed at the disposal of the Governor as a Military Contin- 
gent Fund. From this fund the expenses iucurred in looking after and relieving the wants and 
necessities of our sick and wounded soldiers were defrayed during the year 1801 and part of the 
year 18G2. Military Agencies were established at various important points, and placed in charge of 
energetic and humane business men, whose duty it was to render all possible relief to our soldiers, 
especially to those who were sick or wounded, whether in transit, in the hospitals, or on the battle-

field. Sanitary atorcs and hospital supplies, purchaaod in soiiio cases by the Govcruor, but inoii- 
I'roquently di)iiiits:(l by the patriotic jjooplo of the State, were t.ont to these Agents, and by them 
carefully distributed — the rule being first to supply our own troops and then to relieve thos'i from 
other States. Special agents and sui'geons were also sent to points where additional aid and assist - 
nnce were required. No portion of the army where Indiana soldiers have served has been ueglected, 
and reli f agents, special surgeons and nurses have been continually employed, as the exigencies of 
the hour demanded, in visiting our troops and rendering them all the assistance that liumanity and 
kindness could suggest. 

Early in 1802 the Governor established in this city an oflice styled the "General Indiana Military 
Agency," and placed the same in charge of Mr. William llanuainan, a gentleman of e.xcellent 
tuisiness qualifications and great kindness of heart, whose duty it was to receive and forward Kani- 
tary supplies, supervise the several local Military Agencies, and generally to direct all matters 
relating to relief. [These duties had hitherto been performed, to a limited extent, by tlie Statf 
Commissary General.] A sy.stem of reports from the various agencies, and from special agents sent 
to hospitals and the field, was adopted, whereby the General Agency was constantly advised of Die 
condition and necessities of our sick and wounded, enabling the Governor to send forward, with 
great pronititude, medical aid, nurses, and supplies to meet the demand. Not only were the sick 
and wounded looked after and cared for, but in many cases, particularly in Western Viiginia 
during the severe (.heat Mountain campaign, in the Missouri campaign, at the siege of Island Num- 
ber Ten, &c., itc, in the winter of 18iJl-2, whole regiments were supplied with overcoats, shoes, 
rubber blankets, and other indispensable articles, through the intervention of the reliif agents, 
backed up by the persistent efforts of the E.xecutive Department at home. 

Immediately after the battle of Fort Konelson, in February 18112, and subsequently whenever oc- 
casion required, steamers were chartered by the Governor and dispatched with stores, surgeons and 
nurses to gather up the sick and wounded, minister to their needs and bring them home to our own 
luispitals or send them to their families and friends. The great good accomplished in this way w.is 
conspicuous at Fort Donelson, Shiloh, Corinth, Nashville, Island Number Ten, Memphis, Vicks- 
burgh, and at other points on the Mississippi river from Cairo to New Orleans where troops have 
been stationed or battles fought. On several occasions steamers have been loaded entirely with 
sanitary stores, including vegetables for our regiments, and sent to Vicksburgh, New (Orleans and 
other places, returning with full loads of sick and disabled men. 

After the disastrous battle of Richmond, Ky., in August 18("i2, when so many of our- wounded 
were left within the enemies lines, an expedition, with ambulances, medical and hospital stores, 
under the i.harge of a corps of special surgeons and nurses, was fitted out by the Governor and sent 
through under a flag of truce, and succeeded in recovering and relieving a large number of sufl'erors, 
who were brought safely and comfortably home. The whole cost of this expedition, including the 
sujiplies provided, was less than two thousand dollars. 

.\gain — last winter, when so many of our officers and soldiers were imprisoned at Libhy and snf- 
fering, not only for clothing but for proper food, the Governor authorized the purchase of a large 
lot of suitable provisions in Baltimore, amounting altogether to five or six thousand dollars, and 
sent the same to the prisoners under a special .arrangement eftecteil by the State Military Agent at 
Washington with the rebel Agent of exchange at Richmond. The larger portion of these supplies, 
together with a largo amount of clothing, quartermasters' stores and tent*, for the Belle Isle 
prisoners, sent from our State Quartermaster General's department through the same channcd. 
reached our prisoners in safety and were most acceptably received. 

From these special cases you will perceive that the general plan adopted in this State has l-eeii, 
in all extraordinary cases, to meet them promptly through the best means within reach at the titne. 

The fund placed at the Governor's disposal fnmi which these expenses oould be paid was limited, 
nnich of the appropriation being required for other objects of a military nature. No additJona-1 
appropriation iiaving been made, other means had to be devised, to provide for demands wliich were 
constantly increasing. The success attending the establishment of the general military agency pS 
Indianapolis, having demonstrated the liberality of our people, and their great desire to contribute 
freely in supplies and money for the benetit of our soldiers, it was deemed advisable to establish, in 
connection with the agency, a State Sanitary Commission. Accordingly an organization, with Mr. 
Ilannaman as President, was eflected in March 1802, through the medium of winch the most grati- 
fying and satisfactory results have been achieved. The report of the Commission for the present 
year has noi been published, but I have pleasure iu sending herewith a copy of the one last issued 
which may be of interest to you. 

The most effectual mode of raising supplies and money has been found to bo by the employment 
of special traveling agents, under appointment from the Governor. These agents usually commenc< 
at each county seat, and make a th(jrough canvass of the county before leaving if. They organize 
societies, auxiliary to the State Society, at all places where it is found to be practicable, and; 
through committees appointed by these societies, have each town, village, and neighborhood 
thoroughly and fully canvassed. In this w'ay almost every individual in each county is reached. 
The appeals are usually made to the people in the name of the Governor, and they never fail to 
Ke(mre a liberal response. 

Supplies are shipped through the local offices to the Commission at Indianapolis, where they. 
are assorted, repacked, and shipped to the distributing agents in the field. Jloney collected i.s 
sent to the Treasurer of the State Society, and appropriated for the purchase of such supplies :i* 
are required and not otherwise furnished. 

The State Agencies established at Washingten City, Now Orleans, Memphis, St. Louis, Chatta- 
nooga, Nashville, Louisville, Evansville, New York, and Philadelphia, are still in operation, and 
have been productive of the greatest benefits, as is evidenced by the high appreci:*tion in which they 
are held by Indiana officers and soldiers. As our army has advaricd, from time to time, other 
agencies have been established, at Paducah and Columbus, Kentucky, Cairo, Vicksburg, Atlanta, 
&.C., and discontinued upon the withdrawal or further advance of our troops. 

The expenses to the State Government, since the organization of the Sanitary Commission, have 
been greatly reduced, considering the largcdy increased relief and service which have been afforded 
and rendered. The Military Agents are paid from SlOO to $150 per month for their services, with 
necessary expenses for office rent, fuel, stationery, postage, etc., and, when required, clerk hire, at 
the rate of SoO to 57') per month. The Philadelphia and New York agents represent a large 
number of States, so that our proportion of the expense is but moderate. All transportion used 
by the Sanitary and Military Agents, special surgeons, nurses, sick, and wounded, and discharged 
soldiers, who have 7io money, and can not procure Government passes, is furnished by the State, 
the various railroads charging military rates for the same. This is probably the largest item of 
fxpense incurred by the State under tho present system. A great many ncce.ssary incidental aod 



292 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

fontinpfnt expeiises bave been incurrod for tlip benefit of our soldiers, which I deem it unimportanS 
to particularize liere. Special Surgeons, wlio make any cliarse for services, are allowed at the rate 
of 8100 per month, being about enough to pay their actual expenses while al-sentfrom their homes. 
Other facts might be given, but as my commnnication is already much longer than I iutended, I 
forbear. Hoping that the information herein hurriedly thrown together may aid your efTortsiij

BATTLE OF PANTHER CREEK, KENTUCKY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1862. 

COLONEL CROOKS' OFFICIAL REPORT. 

llEAI'QUARTEr.S FOURTH ReRIMENT INDIANA LEGION, ) 

RocKPOKT, Ini)., Septemljer :J0, l.Sij-. / 
To Majoii General Move, Commanding Indiana Militia: 

Sir:— I liave the honor to report that on Friday, the 19th inst., our gallant young townsman, 
Hugh Ilales, a member of Colonel Netter's command, swam the Ohio Jtiver below Owensboro, bear- 
ing the intelligence that their camp had been attacked on that morning, their Cidonel (Netter) 
•killed, and that the rebels bad possession of Owensboro; and that the camp would be compelled to 
surrender unless speedily reinforced. I immediately dispatched the same messenger urging them 
to hold out a few hours, that we would be on hand, and requested them to take possession aiid hold 
some available point on the River where they could protect a crossing for us, and to indicate that 
point to me either by messenger or signal, which was prom])tly done. 

The news of tlieir disaster spread as if by magic, the entire border of our country was in a few 
hours aroused and on their way to the scene of action. In less than eight hours from the first intel- 
ligence, I had four hundred and fifty of our Spencer boys in the camp at Owensboro— others kept 
arriving during the night, until my command was increased to five hundred and fifty nieti. Jluch 
•confusion prevailed in camp consequent upon the death of the gallant Netter. 

Most of the rebels tied at our approach. Learning, however, that there were a few squads scat- 
tered over the city arresting and paroling Union men, I detached one hundred of my men under 
Major Tovv'ne, for the purpose of suppressing such couiluct, which was promiitly done. 

Such other disposition of my men was made as in the opuion of the commanding officers the exi- 
gencies of the case seemed to require. 

About this time, eight o'clock, p. M., Lieutenant Colonel Wood, of the First Indiana Cavalry, 
arrived on the ground and very properly assumed command, infusing confidence and restoring 
order. 

Shortly after, reliable evidence reached our quarters that the rebels were in camp eight miles out 
• on the Livermore Road, and an attack was determined on. Accordingly a command was organized 
under the supervision of Colonel Wood, which left Owensboro at two o'clock iie.xt morning. This 
command consisted of one G-pound gun, sixty of Netter's mounted men, and three htiudred and 
fifty of my infantry. Major towne was assigned to the cavalry, the gun to Sergeant J. C. Finch, of 
■the Indiana Legion, I assumed command of my infantry. Colonel Wood commanding the whole. 

Wo arrived in front of their encampment between daylight and sunrise. Whether by accident or 
imprudent design, the cavalry became engaged with the entire force of the enemy, before either our 
gun or inlantry were in supporting distance. Two blast's from the enemy's cannon and a round of 
small arms put them to confused flight, no more to be heard from till long after the battle was over. 
Nice of the cavalry were captured and paroled by ihe enemy, two or three wounded, among whom 
was William J. Hale, of our place, now a member of Netter's command ; ho was paroled and arrived 
in camp the same evening. On hearing the engagement opened by our cavalry we advanced rapidly 
till in range of our gun, which was immediately brought to bear on the enc;niy charged with canis- 
ter. At the third round it was disabled and taken to the rear. No alternative was now left, but to 
close in with our infantry, which was done in beautiful style. Our mon moved up with the steady 



STATISTICS AND DOCUMENTS. 293 

tramp of vetovans, under the booniins of the enemy's cannon ancJ volley's of musketry, to a point 
iiiilicateil, anJ returned the fire witli tho deadly aim that only back-woodsmen know bO well 
how to do. 

Tho position attained by this rapid movement was an excellent one. AV'e were screened by a 
feiicc. with the advantage of a ditcli made by throwing up a road not less than two feet deep, and 
doubtless accounts for our comparatively small loss. This position i^e held, pouring in volley after 
volley of well-aimed musketry, until their lines began to waver and give way, when Colonel Wood, 
with a portion of the command, gallantly charged tho heights they occupied, driving them in com- 
plete and perfeet confusion. Thus terminated the battle of Panther Creek. 

No troops could have done better. They bravely withstood the fire of the enemy for nearly one 
hour and a half without the least wavering, steadily pressing forward, driving the enemy inch by 
iiieh, until he was completely scattered in dismay. The enemy played upon us with a small cannon 
all the while, with sacks of minaio balls, but evidently over-shot very much, a mistake probably 
caused by their own altitude. 

I cannot risk mentioning names in detail for fear of doing injustice to some. It is sufii<:ient to 
say that all did well. Knowing the material of which tho Legion is composed, t thought well of it, 
but now my confidence is boundless. 

I have taken some pains to ascertain the number of the enemy, and conviction is that ho had no 
less than five hundred men, unr not materially over. Our command engaged did not e.xceeil three 
hundred and sixty-five men including three or four of the cavalry that finally fell in with us, 
together with three or four citizens of Uweusboro. 

i bear willing testimony to the gallant conduct of Lieutenant Colonel V/illiam F. Wood, of the 
First Indiana Cavairy. He is a brave and accomplished officer. Nor can I refrain from speaking 
in terms of commendation of Lieutenant L. C. Parker, of the Legion, who was at all times where duty 
called, calm and collected. 

To Dr. J. S. Hougland, I hereby return my hearty thanks ; he was on hand in the fight and kindly 
volunteered his professional services in taking care of the woundeil. 

The loss of the enemy, was killed and counted on the field thirty-six, wounded and found upon 
the field some fifteen, besides the enemy took away two wagon loads of their wounded during tlie 
engagement. The entire loss of the enemy in killed and wounded is acknowledged by them to be 
between seventy-five and eighty, and we took sixteen prisoners, besides a large number of guns, 
pistols, sabers, saddles, blankets and horses. Our loss, three killed and thirty-five wounded as 
follows : 

Killed — Simpson Palmer, Isaac Varner, Curtis Lamar. 

M'oniiih'd — James Naiiey, right arm badly ; Peter BlcCradie, three places badly ; Joel Shrusbery,

ADJUTANT GENERAL S REPORT. 



The Comiiii.-iKion find, t.Ii:it in orJcr to hupply iiece«sary ammunition to regiments uncier orders for 
Virginia, in Ajiril, ISlil, tlie Governor of Indiana ordered Captain Sturm, then an officer of State 
artillery, to start a Laboratory at Indianapolis, using enlisted labor for the purpose; that in a day 
or two it was found advisable to send back the soldiers to their companies, and employ suitable 
hired labor. Captain Sturm, being an experienced Labonitcrian, was detailed from his companj', 
and as he had not been fully mustered into the United States service, was continued in cliarge as a 
State officer. He commenced at once to erect buildings and purchase materials, from State funds, 
to mamifacture, in large quantities, all the various kinds of ammunition for field pieces and small 
arms. Being also Ordnance Officer of tlie State, such ordnance stores as were sent to the Governor 
for issue to Indiana regiments mustered into the service of the United States, were un(ier liis 
charge, and by degrees a considerable quantity of Jlllitary Munitions belonging to the United States 
was accumulated at this State Arsenal. Issues and receiiUs for such, as well as of ammunition 
fabricated there, have been made by order of the Governor, as the necessities of the public service, 
in his opinion, required. Thus an Arsenal has grown up under Captain Sturm's care, which has 
been of great service, at times, in providing ordnance supplies for the several laige armies operating 
in Western Virginia, Kentuckj', Tennessee, Missouri, and Kansas. Issues have been made upon 
requisitions made by Generals commanding Departments or Divisions, by ordnance officers at the 
depots in Kentucky and Tennessee, and sometimes by commanding officers of regiments and posts 
or companies. Requisitions by the Chief of Ordnance and United States Ordnance and General Of- 
licers have been, in every case, promptly complied with by Captain Sturm, without special refer- 
ence to the Governor, but in all other cases the Governor approved the requisitions before issues 
were made. 

In October, 1801, the Secretary of War vi'fited the Arsenal, and having fully informed himself of 
the operations going on, verbally requested the Governor, (as stated to the Commission by Captain 
Sturm) to continue fabricating ammunition, .and by his order an account amounting to $08,701 00 
was paid, January 7th, 1802, to the Agent of the State of Indiana, for certain stated quantities of 
various kinds, at prices censidered reasonable by the Chief of Ordnance ; the quantities paid for 
having been in part issued (as above stated) rtnd in part remaining still in tlie Arsenal, (/aptaiu 
Sturm submitted to the Chief of Ordnance, soon afterward, a return of all property and stores on 
hanil at the Arsenal, belonging to the United States, up to December 31st, 1801, as is required from 
Uniteil Stases Arsenals, hut no direct charge of th(! Arsenal, in the details of its operations, has 
been assumed by the Ordnance Department. As the law does not permit the establishment of a 
United States Arsenal in this manner, nor the purchase or issue of ordnance stores and supplies, 
without the authority of the Chief of Ordnance, the case was reported to the Secretary of War, in 
.yovemher, ISi'd, and an officer sent to examine the Arsenal, and to report his views as to the advisa- 
bility of making ammunition there, instead of at the United States Arsenals. December llth, 
l.i'iitenant Crispin, the Inspecting Oftieer, reported the results of his visit, "and that, in his 
opinion, all the wants of the army in that region of country can be supplied by timely requisitions 
from United States Arsenals, withoi:t having recourse to State eslablishmcnts." This report was 
communicated to the Hon. Robert Dale Owen, Agent of the State of Indiana, December 3Uth, and 
ho was informed "that it was not deemed advisable to continue the preparation of ammunition at 
Indianapolis, further than may be necessary to consume the materials which have been purchased 
for the purpose; and that if supplies are needed by the State, they can be furnished from United 
States Arsenals." Subsequently, however, to fill requisitions for the supply of the army in the 
field, (reported to be urgently necessary for immediate use) additional materials were purchased, 
and on the l.'ith of February, in answer to the request of Captain Sturm, the Chief of Ordnance 
promised an immediate supply of powder and lead, and authorized the purchase of buckshot and 
lead. March fith. IS'.-, the Chief of (Jrdnance having been called upon by the Secretary of War, 
.-vgain reported "that the Arsenal is a State establishment," and quoted from his letter to Hon. 
llobert Dale Owen, of December ;!()th. No action, however, was taken, and operations at the 
Arsenal have since been continued without restriction as to the amount of materials actually on 
hand, the Governor proposing, with the concurrence of the Secretary of War, to lender monthly 
tor " such (luyntities of ammuniti^'U as may be used by the United States." 

The two accounts now before the Commission have been forwarded in accordance with this arrange- 
ment. It is stated that these include the whole amount fabricated, (and not yet paid for) prior to 
.June 1st, 1802, crediting the United States with the value of the powder and lead received from 
the Government, and used in preparing the ammunition. All thus fabricated, however, had not 
been issued when the accounts were rendered ; the balance remaining under the charge of Captain 
Sturm. A large portion of this balance has been recently issued upon direct orders of the Chief of 
Ordnance. 

Captain Sturm has appeared before the Commission, and presents returns of property on hand 
at the close of the First Quarter, 1802, and also abstracts of issues and receipts, and of articles 
purchased and fabricated, sujiported by vouchers. These papers have been examined, and show that 
in addition to the ammunition supplied, many repairs have been made to Ordnance Stores in actual 
service, and articles purchased for Artillery and Cavalry, and isued (as in the case of ammunition) 
sometimes without due authority. Captain Sturm has not been paid by the United States for liis 
services at the Arsenal, but from the first by the State, and thisexp-nse, as well as all other expenses 
for labor and material in preparing ammunition, and in repairs, and issues, and care of Ordnance 
Stores (except small arms) have been included in the cost prices of the various kinds of ammunition, 
as charged in the account. 

The Commissioners decide therefore, that in adjusting the accounts of the Arsenal against the 
United States, the payment already made shall be considered as "on account," and that all such 
stores as have been duly issued and receipted for by troops in the service of the United States, be 
aharged against the Government as purchased from the State of Indiana, leaving the balance to be 
paid for wlien actually received by a United States officer. 

In order to show the condition of this account for ammunition, so that a settlement maj' be made 
for it at once, the Commission has had prepared by Captain Sturm a leturn of all the anirauriition 
issuefl since th(! commencement of the work, from which the quantity paid for has been deducted, 
aiid from the remainder is also deducted the quantity turned over for transpoi tation to agents and 
■ not yet receipted for by the officers to whom it was directed to bo issued. The receipt of the balance 
has actually been acknowledged by officers duly commissioned in United States service, who are 
accountable for its proper use. 

The whole expense of fabrication has been borne by the State of Indiana, and if the issues had 
beejj made by proper authority, the account for this balance would have been regular and in form. 
The prices chaiged in the bills rendered (see vouchers, ,Ian. 7, 1802, and bills of April 8, and June 
I, 1802.) are deemed by the Commission to be reasonable and just, as these prices include payment 



' STATISTICS AND DOCUMENTS. 295 

for nil expenses, 1>J' the State, for the care and preservation of all United States stores at the 
Arsenil, (except email arms,) up to .lune 1, 18(i2. ConsideriuK tlio condition of tlio connlry at tin; 
time, the Commission approve of the issues to the several officers, as made, without objection on 
account of insufficient authority, and direct the payment to the State of Indiana at the jirices 
charged in bills of April 8, and Juno 1, 18(>2, for all issues, as soon as sufficient evidence is atTorde<l, 
that the stores were used in the Government service, or are now in tho liands of its officers, deduct- 
ing on the account tho amount due for lead and powder furnished by tlu^ Government to the Arsenal. 

Tho [lortioM of the ammunitiou turned over to transportation asents cannot be paid for, until 
evidence furnished that these agents have dbly acquitted themselves of their responsibility. Such 
evidence, Captain Sturm states, can bo obtained and will be forwarded. 

As tho guardianship of Ordnance Stores belongs by law to tho Ordnance Department, the Com- 
mission consider that arrangements should at once be made to place tho stores now belonging to 
the Government at the Indianapolis Arsenal, under the exclusive anthority of the Chief of Ord- 
nance, so that all disbursements of public money and all issues of stores be made by his orders. If 
a temporary Ordnance Depot bo necessary at Indianapolis, it should be administered as in tho case 
of other Ordnance Depots, and should be broken up as soon as the exigency requiring it may cease. 
Should a Dnpot be established there, the ammunition remaining on hand would then bo in charge of 
a United States officer and should then be paid for as above directed. 

An abstract marked "B,"has been rendered by Captain Sturm, showing the articles purchased 
to complete the ecinipments of different batteries organizing for tho field These aiticles should be 
taken up upon the returns and duly accounted for, and the Commission direct that they likewise bo 
purchased from the State of Indiana, and paid for at such prices as the Government is accustomed 
to pay for like articles; the issues made of these articles being sanctioned in consideration of tho 
circumstances, although not made by due authority. 

In conclusion, the Commission consider it due to Captain Sturm, to say that the papers submitted 
to thorn, as well as tho satisfactory explanations he has given of every transaction connected with 
the case, prove that he has managed the establishment with great probity and intelligence and 
greatly to the advantage of the Government service, and that if now duly commissioned as a 
Captain in the military service, they consider it advisable that he should be detailed for Ordnance 
duty and be ordered to I'oport to the Chief of Ordnance. 

We are, Sir, respectfullv, your obedient servants,

SECRET TREASONABLE ORGANIZATIONS IN INDIANA. 

KEPOKT UK THE GRAND JURY, UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT, MAY, 18G2. 

In the District Court of the Unital Slates, for the District of Indiann, May Term, 1862. 

The Grand Jurors of the United States of America, within and for the District of Indiana, em- 
panneled, sworn, and charged in said District, at said Blay term thereof, having about completed 
their labors, (and boing now ready to adjourn) feel it their imperative duty to announce, in a respect- 
ful manner, to this honorable court, the general features of some startling develojiments, made 
during their investigations. These developments, when considered in cuiinection with tho dis- 
turbed condition of the country, by reason of the causeless and attrocious rebellion against the 
C'onstitution and laws of the land, are deemed of the gravest importance, and should be made known, 
thai prompt and efficient measures may be taken by the civil and military authorities to meet and 
ward off tho effect of the wicked and treasonable designs of those couuected with such 
developments. 

A recent act of Congress made it the duty of the Grand Jury to inquire iuto any combinations or 
conspiracies formed by individuals, within the jurisdiction of the court, to prevent tho execution of 
any law of the United States. Having heard that organizations, with this object in view, existed 
in certain localities, witnesses were sent for, and brought before the Grand Jury. These witnesses 
came from many counties, and lived in variotis parts of the State. After a careful and diligent 
examination of the testimony, from witnesses well acquainted with tho facts deposed, and hiidnf) a 
personal knowledije of the matters, said Grand Jury are constrained to say that a seciet and oath-bound 
organization exists, numboriiig some fifteen thousand in Indiana, as estimated hy the members of 
their order, commonly known as Kiiiiihts of the Golden Circle, and even in the same localities by ilif- 
ferent uami'S. Their lodges, or "Castles," as they denominate them, are located in various parts 
of the State, yet they have common signs, grips, and words whereby the mi'mbers are able to dis- 
tinguish each other, and passwords to eiiablt! tho member to enter the castle in which he was initia- 
ted, or any other which such member may chose to visit. They have signals by which they can 
communicate with each other in the day. or the night time, and above all they have a signal or sign 
which may he recognized at a great distance from the person giving it. This last signal, we regret 
to say, was invetitcd for the use cf such memhers as should, by means of the draft or otherwise, he compelled 
to serue in the ranks of the army. In such case members of tlnM)rder serving in opposing armies re- 
ceiving the sign are reminded of their obligation not to injure the member yirincj it. This signal is 
given in every instance upon the initiation of a new incmb r, and its observance is strictly enjoined 
upon every individual belonging to the order. By tho teachings of the organization it is the duty 
of its members engaged in tho present war, although arrayed on iqiposito sides, upon the signal 
being given, if they shoot at all. "to shoot or.er each oilier." Many members of the order examined 
befort! us admit the hindinq force of the obliijalion, and pretend to justify it as correct in principle. 

Said Grand Jury would respectfully submit that tho eff.ct of such obligation is to set aside tho 
oath taken by every soldier wlien he enters tho service of the United States Tho oljligatinn im- 
posed by the organization alluded to is iucon6ist<.'Ut with the duties of a soldier who in battle dare

ADJUTANT GENERAL S REPORT. 



not spare tho person of liis enemy. We must either disarm or destroy him, and especially so long 
as tlie rebel may be seeking to take the life of the loyal soldier. To do otherwise would be grossly 
treacherous, and justly subject the guilty party to a traitor's doom. 

From the evidence introiluced before said Grand Jury it would seem that the order called the 
Knights of the Golden Circle had their orJt;in in some of the Southern States, and was introduced 
into this State from Kentucky. Its piimary object, when it originated, was to organize the friends 
of the institution of African slavery in the United States, for the purpose of acquiring more terri- 
tory in Mexico and the Central American States, and also the acquisition of Cuba, thereby to ex- 
tend and foster a great slave empire, even thoujfh it should dye those countries in human blood. 
Hence the various r;iid3 made upon those countries which have called forth, from time to time, the 
proclamations of our former Presidents, denouncing such attempts and threatening the exercise of 
the power of the Government to pot them down. Wicked as these hellish schemes were, said Grand 
Jury would not have troubled this Honorable Court wiih this presentment had the machinations of 
the Knights of the Golden Circle been confined solely to their original designs. Finding how useful 
such an organization was for the purposes originally intended, said Grand Jury believe that it not 
only extends at present through every put of the South, and every department of the rebel army, 
but during the last winter and spring was introduced into the State of Indiana and other Northern 
States. Since that time it has made alarming progress in our midst, with entirely sew features 
attached to it, in view of the unnatural conilict now desolating our country. Not only are the 
loyal soldiers in the army to he treacherously betrayed in the bloody hour of battle, by the signals befure 
referred to, but said Grand Jury have abundant evidence of the membership binding themselves to- 
resist the payment of the Federal tax and prevent eiilislnients in the armies of the United States. 

It is a fact worthy of note, and conclusively shown, that in localities where this organization 
extensively prevails there has been a failure to fnruisli a fair proportion of volunteers. Said Grand 
Juiy, after a thorough ex.amination on that point, have been unable to find any instance u-here a mem- 
ber of said organization had volunteered to fight for the Union under the late requisition for volunteers. 
Said Grand Jury were informed that an individual of the Order had proposed to make up a company 
to be called "Jay Hawkers," composed exclusively of "Knights of the Golden Circle." But said 
Grand Jury believe that at no time was the proposition seriously entertained, but in fact only in- 
tended as a cover to hide their treasonable purposes when they found they were about to be discov- 
ered. 

The meetings of the Order referred to are holden in by-places, sometimes in the woods, and at 
other times in deserted houses. Its members frequently attend with arms in their hands, and in 
almost every instance armed sentinels are posted to keep otf intruders. Youths not more than six- 
teen years of age are, in many cases, introduced and initiated into its mysteries. The credulous 
and unwary are often allured into the fold of the Order, upon the prete:4 that it was instituted for 
no othei purpose than the better organization of their party. Its real cnaracter and teachings are 
sedulously concealed until the oath of secre-y has been in due form administered. Having taken 
the first degiee, the initiate is familiarized with the obligations and opinions of his associates, and 
is gradually prepared for the second degree. When he is further taught, and found apt to learn, 
and re^idy to adopt its principles and teachings, he is obligated in tho highest degree, and is turned 
out upon the country a thorough traitor, witli the wicked purposes already specified. Said Grand 
Jury are happy to know that in many cases individuals, after their first inti'oduction into the Order, 
seeing its evil tendencies, have abandoned it, although unwilling, on account of their obligations of 
secresy, and for fear of personal viohnice are reluctant, to fully expose its treacherous principles. 

Since said Grand Jury began said investigation, it has been discovered that the Order exists among 
the prisoners of v)ar now in Cainp Morton, who refuse to testify, npon the grownd that it may implicate the 
members of their Order in Indiana, and thereby injure the catise of the Southeryi Confederacy. 

For the purpose of evading any legal liability in case of judicial investigation, it appears that 
their signs are to be used to enable them to get members of their order on the jury, in case of criraina! 
charges being preferred against them, and by changes of venue, and appeals from a judge who does 
not i)elong to the order, to create judicial <ielays until they can find a judge or juror belonging to 
this order, and thus escape all legal liability. 

Said Grand Jury have no doubt that the order of the "Knights of the Golden Circle" e.xists in 
many localities in Indiana where their vigilance has not been able to penetrate. They have labored 
under many difficulties in their researches, and have drawn evidence, in most of the cases, from 
unwilling witnesses. Judicial oaths have but little binding force where individuals once consent to 
abandon the allegiance they owe their country. The general facts, however, so far as they have 
come to the knowledge of the said Grand Jury, have been submitted to this honorable Coort. They 
feel it their duty to do so. The safety of the country, in this hour of peril and civil strife, demands 
it at their hands. Tlie power of such an organization to do harm, acting as one man, with one 
purpose in view, with their influence, may be appreciated by the honorable Court. It is the place 
where treason is concocted — the nest where traitors are hatched. 

The Grand Jury, therefore, respectfully ask this Court that this their presentment maybe spread 
Ui>ou the records.

To His Excellency the Governor of Indiana : 

Governor : I beg leave to respectfully call your attention to the importance of promoting non- 
commissioned officers and privates to the vacaocies in the Corps and Regiments from your State, 
cr'-ated by recent battles. Unfortunately, the Generals commanding have no power to award 
merit and bravery on the field. I can, therefore, only appeal to the justice of the Governors of the 
States represented in this Department. To reward service in the field by prompt promotion is one 
of the greatest incentives to individual action, as it is a special mark of personal merit. 

Commanding officers of Divisions, Brigades, Regiments, and Corps, will bo directed to mako 
recommendations for filling vacancies in their respective commands, stating the particular service 
and merit of the individuals recommended. These reports will be immediately forwi\rdi d to the 
Governors of States, and it is sincerely hoped that they will not be disregarded in i.ssuing new 
commissions. Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

MAJOR GENERAL IIALLECK'S SECOKD CIRCULAR. 

Headquarters of the Abmy, Washington, D. C, September 29, 1862. 

From casualties in the lield, and from absence by reason of sickness, many volunteer regiments 
have not a sufficient number of officers to command them. It is important that vacancies caused 
by death and resignations he filled with the least possible delay. The Governors of tho several 
States are earnestly requested to fill these vacancies by promoting officers, uoa-commissioned offi- 
cers, and privates, who have distinguished themselves in tho field, or have shown a capacity for 
military command. 

Without the hope of promotion, there is no encouragement to the faithful performance of dufy> 

and no stimulus to deeds of valor. Moreover, the discipline and efficiency of an army depends, in 

a great measure, upon the character and qualifications of its ofticers. Without good officers, th& 

-very best soldiers soon become a mere military mob, the iiulficieucy of which is increased by tho 

increase of its members.

rcdation to such promotions, is published for the information of all concerned : 

"(jth. The exigencies of the service require that officers now in the tield, should remain with

circumstances be detailed to accept a new command. 

BV OBDER OF TUB PRESIDENT: EDWIK 31. STANTON, 

Secretary of War. 

Tl'.is order greatly embarrassed me, as I had intended to make liberal promotions of officers who 
had tlie advantage of experience in the field with old Indiana Regiments, in officering the new ones. 

In reply to a telegram addressed to the Secretary of War, on the Itith of August, the following 
was received : » 

" Our armies being in the face of the enemy, officers in the field cannot be spared for any pur- 
pose. The same reason applies to absent officers, if fit for any duty, they should be with their com- 
mands, and not leave their men exposed to danger without officers. If on detached duty, it must 
be performed. The principle on which the order stands, is that soldiers in the field require their 
officers' presence.

GOVERNOR'S ADDRESS 

TO THK OFFfiERS AND SOLDIERS OF THE "LEGIOK" AND "MINUTE MEN" OF 

INDIANA. 

Having rpceived infoimation tlmt a rebel force, estimated to be six thonsarnl ptrong, with six 
pieces of artillery, had crossed the Ohio river into Harrison county, I issued a call, on Thursday 
last, to the patriotic citizens of the State to leave their various occupations and turn out for its 
defence, and, if possible, capture the insolent invaders. The evidence was abundant that the origi- 
nal purpose of the rebels was to seize, plunder, and burn the Capital, but as their course would ha 
xincertain, it was necessary to make preparations to encounter them in every direction. Within 
forty-eight hours from the time the call was issued, not less than si.xty-five thousand men liad 
tendered their services and were on their way to places of rendezvous, while many thousands more 
were preparing, but were notified to remain at home. Within three days, thirty thousand men, 
fully armed and organized, had taken the field at various points to meet the enemy. 

This wonderful uprising will exert a marked efl'eet throughout the country, exhibiting, as it does, 
in the strongest and most favorable light, the military spirit and patriotism of our people. 

At the first landing on our soil, the rebel advance was met and fought by the neighboring Legion, 
and, although our forces were few in number, and were driven back, they gave the rebels a clear 
foretaste of what they might expect when they penetrated the interior of the State. Within ten 
hours after they entered our borders, their invasion was converted into a rapid and desperate flight. 
In whatever direction they turned, they were confronted by large bodies of armed men. Wherever 
they approached the river, with the view to crossing, they found large bodies of troops prepared to 
dispute their passage. In half a dozen cases they were offered battle, which they invariably 
declined. They dodged and ran by night and by day, and finally succeeded in making their escape 
over our eastern border into Ohio. 

They are reported to have murdered several of our citizens in cold blood — to have plundered 
many of their horses, money, and goods, and to have burned and otherwise destroyed much valnablo 
jiroperty. The injury done to the railroads was slight, and has been almost entirely repaired. 
They had but little time to do damage beyond the murder and plunder of surprised and defenceless 
citizens along the line of their flight. 

For the alacrity with which you responded to ray call, and left your harvest fields, your work- 
i-hojis, and oCices, and took up arms to protect your State and punish the invaders, allow me, on 
behalf of the State, to tender my hearty thanks. Your example will not be lost upon the nation, 
and you have taught the rebels a lesson which will not be forgotten. 

In the light of these events, it is impossible not to perceive the importance of a thorough organi- 
zation of the Legion. The presence of an organized force, ready to take the field at a moment's 
notice, is a standing security against invasion and depredation, and I am very anxious that, so far 
as it is possible, the temporary organizations of the "Minute Men" may be converted into perma- 
nent ones under the law, and that exertions will everywhere be made to recruit the ranks of the 
Legion and perfect its drill and efficiency.

LOSSES AND IMPRESSMENT OF PROrERTY DURmCr THE MOR- 
GAN RAID. 

GENERAL CARRINGTON'S ORDER. 

To Sujferers by the John Morgan Enid: 

In view of the exigencies of the harvest and the interruption of the farming inteiests by tho 
John Morgan Raid, in this vicinity, the following present disimsition is made of cases submitted : 

I. All horses abandoned by Morgan, or Gen. Hobson, and found by citizens, will be reported to 
the Provost Marshal. If holders have lost horses in the riiitl, or by impressment of the Federal for- 
ces, and the harvest cannot otherwise be gathered, they may be permitted to retain those found for 
present use, upon giving suflicient security for their good keeping and for their return, upon proof 
of ownership, or other direction of proper authority. 

II. Horses found by citizens who have lost none, will bo surrendered to the Provost Marshal, to 
be held by him, the same as above. 

III. All horses found with " U. S." or "C. S." brand will bo turned over to tho Provost Mar- 
shal, subject to tho order of tho nearest U. S. Quartermaster. 

IV. Persons who lost Horses by Jlorgan may file with tho Provost Marshals a true description, 
adding a sworn estimate of valu ', and the names of two or more reliable witnesses as to los.s and 
value. This will assist in their identification as the examination follows the raid, and will furnish 
an outline of facts upon which to examine claims for compensation, if tho Government should re- 
imburse sufterers. 

V. Persons whose horses were impressed by U. S. forces and have certificates of impressment, 
will file them with the Provost Marshal, who will present them to tho nearest U. S. Quartermaster 
for examination and payment, or for further proof. When the seizure was in such haste as to pre- 
vent such certificate being given, tho claim will bo made up, and witnessed, as in paragraph IV. 

VI. Persons having found U. S. or C. S. horses, who have not used them, but have been at any 
actual outlay to keep such horses, will upon giving up the same, furnish such a statement under

oath, as oiiibraced in piirafrrniiVi IV. for submission to the U. S. Quartermaster fur re-iiiibursini.'nt. 

VII. IlorsL-.s fully i'li-ntifiiil by their own. rs will be promptly returned to them, luid in all rasf.s 
where the Provost Marshal has taken security and left horses in tlie hands of sufferers for aid in 
harvest, if the owner he found his horse shall be delivered to him, and the obligation of the bailee 
or transient hoirower be given up. 

VIII. Claims for destruction of buildings, or seizure of other property, may be filed while the 
facts are fresh of recollection, under the specification of paragraph four, subject to huch decision 
as to payment as is reserved in behalf of the government. 

IX. By proper care in description, most of the horses seized may be recovered. Patience is 
needed on the part of all interested, as well as a readiness to assist eacli other. While exact justice 
may not be realized, an approximation to it will be secured by a cordial co-operation in tlie elTovt 
to find true owners for stock found. 

X. It is especially urged that in the meantime all farmers assist each other in gatiiering the 
ripened liarvest, that tlie disaster may be lessened and order the sooner restored. 

XI. As it is known that some citizens gathered up horses abandoned by John Morgan and sold 
tliem to the U. S. Quartermaster and U. S. Soldiers, due notice is given tliat in every such case such 
persons found making reclnmatiou for horses so furnished, or known to have made such sales, will 
be reported to the proper authorities for such trial as may be proper, the SDUthern counties of Indi- 
ana being at this time under martial law.

Captain James A. Ekin, Assistant Quartermaster, U. S. A.: 

Sib — A large number of claims have been made by the officers and men ("Indiana LeRioii " and 
" Minute Men ") raised under the call of tliis Department, to repel the recent invasion of the State 
by rebel guerrillas under Morgan. It is very desirable that these claims be adjusted and paid as 
early as practicable, and to this end I wish to ascertain what claims you are authorized to settle, 
and the character of the proof required. 

The claims will be, principally, for horses impressed by onr troops, to-wit: horses not returned 
to their owners; horses returned to owners in a damaged condition; horses returned but not 
received by owners, &c., and for horse equipments, forage, straw, camp equipage, tools, wagon.-, 
transportation of soldiers by teams, subsistence, arms and ammunition for our troops. Also for 
horses and other property stolen by the rebels, and for buildings, crops, and other proiJerty, dam- 
aged and destroyed by them. 

If you are not authorized by existing orders and regulations to adjust and pay those claims, I 
have respectfully to reijuest that you ask the proper Department to give you such authority and 
instructions as will enable you to do so.

The Quartermaster's Department cannot from any appropriation under its control pay claims for 
o.xpenses incurred by troops not a\ithorized by the General Government, and not nmstered into the 
military service of the United States. Unless such expenses can be paid from the appropriation 
made by the last Congress to defray the expenses incurred in the raising, equipping, transporting, 
and subsisting Minute Men and Volunteers in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, Indiana, and Ken- 
tucky, to repel rebel raids (chapter 79, section 3, March 4, 18(13,) further legislation and a special 
appropriation will be necessary. Claims arising under the above section must be filed and passed 
upon by the proper accounting officer of the Treasury. 

Claims for horses and other supplies pertaining to the Quartermaster Department, taken or pui- 
chased for the public service by the United States troops during the Morgan invasion, should be 
submitted to Colonel Thomas Swords, Assistant Quartermaster General at Cincinnati. 

The course pursued by you in sending out officers to collect animals abandoned by either army, 
whether branded " U. S." or ''C. S ," or impressed into the United States service, is approved. 
Sich animals as arc serviceable should be turned into the Quartermaster's Department lor issue. 
No animals should be sold until they have been inspected and condemned in accordance with 
the requirements of the Army Regulations 

Horses which have been impressed into the United States service, and for which a receipt or other 
voucher has been given, should be paid for, and not returned to the claimant of the projjcrty. 

Claims of individuals for loss or damage sustained on account of Morgan's raid, cannot'bo paid 
by the Quartermaster's Department. The claimants will have to resort to whatever appropriation

PROrERTY TAKEN DURING THE MORGAN RAID. 

GOVERNOR MOKTON'S MEMORIAL IN REFERKNCK TO PAYMENT FOR THE SAME BY 

TUE UNITED STATES. 

Executive Devart.ment of Indiana, December 10th, 180:i. 

To Brkjadier General M. C Mei«s, Quarlemmst^r General qf the. United States. 

Sir: It is known to the Government that, in tlie month of July 18^3, the rebel General Morgan, 
crossing the Oliio River, invaded Indiana with a liostile force ; that Brigadier General Willcox, a 
Federal officer, acting under the command of Major General Buruside, was, at the time General in 
Command of the District of Indiana, and tliat at the time of the above raid, there were very few 
troop^ that had been mustered into the sei-vice of tlje United States, within the said State of Indiana. 

In this emergency General Willcox called upon Governor Morton for volunteers to which the 
Governor and the citizens at once resjionded. Within three or four days fifteen thousand were 
assembled at or near Indianapolis, and as many more in other portions of the State. As fast as these 
could be armed and equipped. General Willcox took command of them. Of all these troops he de- 
termined the movements and the disposition. 

Ill the course of the military operations which ensued, it became necessary to take or purchase 
horses and other supplies for tliese troops. The officers by whom tliese supplies were taken or 
purchased were, in a strict technical sense, not Federal officers; they had not been regularly 
mustered into the service of the United Stales, and they had been oi-iginally appointed by State 
authority. 

Under these circumstances, the United States' Quartermaster at Indianapolis conceives that he 
has not, without instructions from yourself siifficent authority to make payment for horses or other 
military supplies so taken or purchased. 

I respectfully submit it is in accordance certainly with the spirit, and I think with the letter of 
the law, that such paymenis should be made, in the same manner and under the same circum- 
fctances, as if the officers receipting, nominally State officers but actually under the orders of a 
Brigadier General of the United States, had been mustered into the service of the General Govern- 
ment, subject to the control of the General Government, through one of its Generals in the field, 
and bound, in all things, to obey his orders, wlu'ther these related to an advance upon the invading 
enemy or to the taking or pnichasing of such supplies as were necessary to meet the urgent demands 
of the service, their acts, when in themselves lawful and in accordance with military usage, were 
virtually the acts of the General Commanding ; since he who legally acts by auother is himself, in 
law. the actor. 

If these State officers made these demands or purchases, it was only because there were not Federal 
officers t<i be had, to act in repelling this invasion. Nor was it at the option of these State officers 
to refuse to obey the commands of General Willcnx, in tbe premises, any more than they might 
have refused to march when he ordered them to do so. Those who surrendered their property be- 
lieved, and had every reason to believe, that they did so in obedience to military law : and that the 
(Jeneral Government would reimburse them, as it has done in similar cases when its military officers 
have made similar demands. 

In this particular instance the case is the stronger, from the fact, already doubtless officially 
communicated to your Department, that horses and n.ules abandoned in largo numbers by the 
raiders, were talveii up and turned over tn the United States Quartermasters' Department, and by 
that Department sold, to the amount of between sixty and seventy tliousand dollars. It is evident 
that if the State troops are to be considered to have acted, in repelling this raid, as under State 
authority, thesj abandoned animals should have been turned over to the Quartermaster of the State 
of Iniliana. That they were claimed, and sold by the Quartermasters' Department of the United 
States, surely carries with il the admission, that supplies taken or purchased by the troops whose 
op "rations caused such abandonment, should be admitted to have been taken or purchased under the 
authority of the United States 

Theri'fore, the undersigned respectfully submits, that it is just and legal that all horses or 
other military supplies taken or purchased on behalf of the troops employed to resist this raid, 
thou;ih by ofliceis not miislered into the service of the United States, should be paid for as though 
taken or purchasiMl by Federal officers ; and that instructions be issued to the United States Quar- 
termaster at Indianapolis, or otherwise, accordingly. 

All which is respectfully submitted. 

(Sigued,) OLIVER P. MORTON, 

Governor of Indiana.

DAMAGES BY THE MORGAN RAID. 

KXTUACT FJiOM GOVKRXOU MOKTOX'S IMKSSAGK, JANUARY 0. ISfif). 

In th(> month of July, 18G:i, the StMti! was invaiic'il by the rrhcl General John Morgan, and thn 
forces uiHUn- Iiis roiiiiiianil. In response to a call wliicli I issued for military fortes for the ])nr])ose 
of capturing and iinnishing this roliljer horde, our people flew to arms in numbers and with a7i alacrity 
before unknown in the history of the war. In a few short hours the invasion was converted into a 
fli.i;lit, and the invaders all being mounted were enabled to eflect their escape over our eastern border, 
into Ohio, where1hc-y were finally captured. During their brief presenceiu theState, however, they 
inrticted much damage by the destruction of property, the plundering of stores, the stealing of 
horses :ind provisions, ami robberies of various kinds. The true theory of onr government is tliat 
it shall p dtect the peoi)le in their persons and property against invasion and loss from the public 
enemy, or injury by domestic insurrection. Where losses in property have been thus snstaineil, it 
is much easier for the people of the State to bear them in their collective capacity, than it is for tlo' 
particular indivi<lnals upon whom they have fallen. In many instances, persons who lost their 
liroperty iu tlu^ Morgan raid were in humble circumstances, and were put to great inconvenience 
thereby, and in some cases even reduced to destitution. I therefore recommend that a con-unipsion 
be created, clothed with such powers as well enable them to make a full and careful appraisement 
of the damages sustained, and that an appropriation be made to defray them out of the Treasury, 
when they have been legally assesed. As there is a natural tendency to exaggerate damages, when 
they are to be pai.l for by the public, such safeguards should be adopted by the commission as will 
prevent imposition upon the State.

KXTIIACT FltOM fioVERNOK JIORTON's MESSAGK, NOVKMBlCK H, ISG.3. 

I ag.iin respectfully invite the attention of the General Assembly to the damages occasioned to 
some of our citiitens, by the invasion of tin- State by John Morgan, in 18i;:!. 1 have seen no causo 
fur changing the views expressed on this subject in my regular message, delivered at the commence- 
^!'-nt of your list session, and therefore repeat the recommendation therein ma<le. 



MORGAN RAID CLAIMS. 

KXTRACr FROM ADJUTAXT TIUIRELT/S roM-'MfXrcATION TO THE LEGISLATURE 

JANUARY 2i;, 181.7. 

During the Morgan Raid through the State in 18(;3, a large amount of property belonging to 
riti/.eiis, consisting principally of wagons, horses, forage, and commissary supplies, was impressed 
for the use of the United States forces; a still larger quantity was fojcibly taken, damaged, or 
destroyed by the rebel army. A good deal of damage was also diino by our own troops. 

Freciuent iiKiniry has been made at this office as to the probability of an adjustment of those 
claims by the State or General Government, and it has cime to my knowledge that there are a large 
number of really meritoriou'j cases in whi(di, if proper action "was taken, the claimant.!, under 
existing law.s, could be reimbursed by the United States for at least a part of their losses. I am 
advised that the Quartermaster General's Department and the Commissary General's Department 
at Washington, will adjust and settle all proper claims for horses, horse equipments, wagons, 
forage, provisions, and other necessary su))plies, taken by the United States Army, if accounts for 
the same are properly made up and certified, or substantiated by proofs usually required in such 
cases. The erroneous idea seems to have obtained, generally, tliat the General Government will 
have nothing to do with these claims, and, therefore, partics'infcrested naturally look to the State 
for rt lief. \t the last two sessions of the Legislature, the matter was taken under consideration, 
but no law on the subject was passed. It was proposed on the part of claimants that the State 
shouliJ pay for the property captured, ami damage inflicted by the rebels, as well as for property 
taken and impressed and damages caused by the forces organized to expel the enemy. In the 
aggregate, probably a half millicni dollars would not cover these items, sliould the State undertake 
to pay all of the several cbuses of claims mentioned. 

,\s the subject will doubtless again be brought before you during the present session, I regard it 
as important that yon should have all the information concerning H that can bo obtained. 

The following extract from the act of Congress, approved July 4, I8G4, will be of interest:

such receipt, may be siibtnitted to the Quartermaster Gemral of the United States, accompanied 
with such proofs as each claimant can present of the facts in his case; and it shall be the duty of

and it shall be tlje duty of t}»e Commisgary general of Subsistence to Ciuiseeach claim lo ?>« examined, 
and, if convinced that it is just, and of the loyalty of the claimant, and that the stores have been 
actually received, or taken for the use of, and used b}' said iinny, then to report each case for 
paymeiit to tlio Third Auditor of the Treasury with a recommendation for settlement." 

It will l)e seen that Congress only provides for the payment of claims for Quartermasters' anil 
Commissaries' supnlios and stores actually furnished to or taken by United States troops f Dam- 
at;es, thefts, and depredations committed by either army, and captures by tliu enemy, are not 
included in tlie act, and there is no provision of law autliorizing the payment of such claims, 
indeed, it has always been the settled policy of the United States Government, to decline tlie 
adjustment and payment of claims of this character. Since the Morgan llaid, several bills have 
introduced into Congress providing for a change of tliis policy, but they have all failed to pass. 

The Legislature of Ohio, in 18i.4, authorized the appointment of a State Commission for the 
jnirpo'^e of investigating and certifying the claims of all peisous who furnithed supplies, or suffered 
loss or damage in that State by the Morgan Kuid. The Commission was dvily appointed, and, after 
<iue notice was given, attended in the several counties through which Morgan's command passed, 
and investigated a largo number of cases brought before them. The testimony establisliiug or 
aflecting claims was thus perpetuated, and was duly laid before the Legislature; but that body, as 
in our own State, refused to pass any law or make any appropriation for their payment. After the 
Legislature adjourned, Drigadier General Cowen, Adjutant General of Ohio, undertook the work oS' 
preparing a certain class of the claims for presentation to the proper Departments at Washington, 
wliicli had been authorized by Congress to audit and pay them. 

In his recent report. General Cowen, referring to this matter, says: 

"The claims selected were those for supplies delivered to or taken by tlio Union forces under 
command of United States military officers. To place thise claims in proper form to comi)ly with 
the recjuirements of the War Department, further evidence than had been required by the Stale 
Commission was absolutely essential. To do this, much lime and labor has been required, but the 
claims have now been for some time in the hands of the proper ofiiters at Washington, and it i-s 
hoped that their payment will be commeuced at an early day. 

"Inasmuch as many of the claims audited and allowed by the State Commission were for dam- 
ages or losses sustained by thefts or depredation.'- committed by troops, and, therefore, not a proper 
class for payment by the t;oueral Government, this class of claims wms left untouched, and are iiovr 
as they were left on the adjournment of the Commission." 

General Cowen further shows, by a published list, giving the names and residences of 5-19 claim- 
ants, that he has certified and forwarded accounts in tlieir favor as follows: To the Quartenua.sttr 
General's Department, S^i34,tJ7:i DS ; to the Commissary General's Department, S>1,()S2 ■■>iK 

The claims which accrued in Indiana for commissary supplies fnrnished United States forcns, 
were mostly settled soon after the raid by Captain Thomas Foster, United States Army, Com-missary 
of Subsistence, then stationed at this post, so that the majority of claims yet iinadjnsted are for 
horses and other quartermaster's supplies, and should be settled through the United States Quarter- 
Geueral's Department, as before stated. 

What action ought to be taken by the State with regard to the claims for damages, and for prop- 
erty taken or destroyed by the enemy, I am unable to advise, but, in the absence ot any other plan, 
tliink it not improper to suggest, in anticipation of some hiture action tor the relief of these 
claimants, that measures be taken now, to secure and preserve the evidence upon which the validity 
of tli'ir claims may depend. If this is delayed, it will be riiilicult, and in many cases impo.^siblo, to 
asceitiiin the fact.T neceosary to I'stablish their demands.

GOVERNOR MORTON'S MESSAGE 

TO THE EXTRA SESSION OF THE LEGISLATUUE, AI'ItlL :?:., ISGl. 

(ientlemen of the Senate and Houne of Ilepresoitalives : 

You have been summoncMl together iinih'r circviiiistnnces of the most grave anJ impoi'tant chanic- 
ter. Our country is phiced in a conilition hitherto unknown in her history, luul one ■wliich all pa- 
triots aud Uivers of liberty throughout the world had fonilly hoped would never occur. Civil war, 
tliat has ever been the bane of republics, has been inaugnrated by certain rebellious States which, 
\iiHnindful of tlieir constitutional obligations, and regarding not our common liistory, blood, inter- 
ests and institutions, are seeking to dismember tho nation and overthrow tlic Federal Government, 
so wisely, and as we had believed, permanently estahlislied by our fathers. 

The origin of this most wicked rebellion dates back more than thirty years. It is well known 
that distinguished Southern statesmen, as early as 18'29, cherished the dream of a vast Southern 
Slavehoiding Confederacy, comprehending the conquest of Cuba, Mexico and Ci'iitrnl America. Tho 
determination was tlien formed to break our Republic into pieces by any availablt! pretext. The 
first one seized upon by South (Carolina was tlie tariff question ; and had not the nation had for its 
Executive a man greatly distinguished for patriotism, courage, and decision of character, wide- 
spreailing and disastrous consequences miglit have followed. By prompt and energetic action the 
rebellion was crushed out for the time, to be revived, as subsequent events have shown, on new pre- 
tenses and ill another form. 

The election of a President of the United States, through the forms of the Constitution, entertain- 
ing opinions obnoxious to certain States of tho Confederacy is boldly publisheil to the world as just 
cause tor the dissolution of the Union, and bringing on, if necessary for that purpose, all tlie hor- 
rors of a bloodj revolution. It would be an insult to yonr intelligence_ to argue that the admission 
of tliis pretense as a justification would be clearly fatal to all republican government ; that popular 
institutions can only he sustained by submission to tlie will of the peoph; as expressed through tho 
forms of the Constitution, trusting to the peaceful remedy of the ballot-box for the redress of griev- 
ances. And the wickedness of this pretense is greatly aggravated by the ri-lh ction that it is utterly 
hypocritical ; that it was only put forward in furtherance of schemes entertained for yais and sup- 
[lorted by notoriously false assumptions of fact and logic. 

When we read the "history of the late Democratic Convention at Charleston by the light of suhse- 
(|ueni events, can we fail to see that the .scheme of secession and dismemb'-rment of the republic was 
then completely formed, and tliat the disruption of that Convention was oni: of the steps towards 
its consummation. If confirmation of this opinion were needed, it will be found in the fact that 
certain traitorous members of Mr. Buchanan's Cabinet were systematically engaged, fur many 
months before the late Presidential election, in placing the arms and defenses of the nation in a po- 
sition to be readily seined by the seceding States. 

Kecessi(jn was at first argued as a right springing from the Constitution itself, but as the move- 
ment gained strength, the flimsy pretext was abandoned and ceased to be a subject of discussion, 
and what in an hour of weakness was claimed by feeble argument, is now boldly asserted by mili- 
tary power. 

The North, conscious of her strength and the rectitude of her intentions, has hitherto remained 
quiet, making no preparation whatever for a conflict of arms. Her forbearance has been construed 
into cowardice, and her elTorts to keep the peace have but provoked increased insolence and aggres- 
sion. The secession movement has from the beginning been an act of war. Ordinances of secession 
have been immediately followed, and sometimes preceded, by the violent seizure and plunder of na- 
tional property, and the forcible expulsion of the agents and officers of the Federal Government. 
From the very first, and at every step in its progress, it has been distinguished by acts of hostility 
and ontrage, alike injurious to the nation and insulting to the people of the loyal States. 

The s cessionists were jirofoundly convinced that the co-operation of the Border Slave States could 
not be procured without a conflict of artns between them and the Federal Government, and hence 
have labored assiduously to place the government in a position that a collision could not be avoided, 
except by the most abject submission and humiliation. The intention to force a conflict has been 
most apparent, and delay was suffered only that they might complete their preparations ; and when 
at last their preparations were complete, and wearied by the long forbearance of the government, 
Uiey ioangurated hostilities bj assaulting and reducing Fort Sumtiu-. 

The place where Fort >uniter is situated had been regularly ceded by the State of South Carolina 
to the Federal Government, and by an express provision of the Constitution was under the exclusive 
jurisdiction of the United States. It was unfinished, and held liy a garrison of less than one hun- 
dred men, and while in this condition was invested by a large army, cutting off all approach to it 
by sea or land. The stock of provisions was almost exhausted, and the immediate prospect was pre- 
sented to the feeble garrison of starvation or of yielding up into the hands of an avowed enemy a 
fortress of the United States. At this juncture the Federal Government, which had waited long — 
perhaps too long — declared its determination to send provisions to the garrison Before this attempt 
could be made, and before a single sail of the fleet was seen off the harbor, a powerful cannonade 
■was opened upon Sumter, which resulted in its destruction and suirender. 

Every day brings us intelligence of new outrage and assault. Throughout the rebellions States 
is heard tho note of preparation for an extensive and aggressive campaign. The National Capital 
jg menaced, and every avenue of approach for Federal troops and provisions is attempted to be cut

iiiji the freehooters of all the wi.rld to prey upon our national commerce. 

Wo have passed from th(^ held of ar^unient to the solemn fact of war, ■which exist -i by the act of 
the soc<'diiig States. Tlie issue is forced upon us, and must be accepted. Kvery man must take 
his position upon the one sid'j or upon the other. In time of war there is no ^jround tipon which a 
third party can stand. It is the imperative duty of all men to rally to the support of the govern- 
ment, and to expend in its behalf, if need be, their fortunes and their blood. Upon the preservation 
of this government depends our prosperity and greatness as a nation, our lilierty and happiness as 
individuals. Wo should approach the contest not as politicians, nor as ambitious piirtizaiis, but as 
patriots, who cAst aside every selfish consideration when danger threatens their country. The voice 
of party should be hushed, and the bitterness that may have sprung out of political contests be at 
once foif^iven and forgotten. Let us rise above these paltry considerations, and inaugurate the era 
when there shall be but one party, and that for our country. The struggle is one into which we en- 
ter with the deepest reluctance. We are bound to the people of the seceding States by the dearest 
ties of blood and institutions. They are our brothers and our fellow countrymiu. But if they re- 
gard not these tender relations, liow can we? If tliey wage war upon us and put theinselvea in the 
attitude of public enemies, they must assume all the responsibilities incident to that position. IJut 
while I deplore deeply the character of the contest in which we are engaged, nevei tlitdess we should 
meet it as men. 

To <nir sister State of Kentucliy we turn with hope and affection. She has grown rich and pros- 
perous in the Republic ; could she do more if she were out of it? It would be a sad day that would 
sever the bond wliich binds there States together, and places us in separate and hostile nations. I 
appeal to her by the ties of our common kindred and history ; by our community of interest, by the 
sacred obligations that bind us to maintain the Constitution inviolate, to adhere to the Union, and 
stand fast by that flag in defi'uce of which she has so often shed her best blood. I pray bertoexam- 
irie h(T past history and perceive how the tide of her prosperity has flowed on unbroken, and ever 
increasing, until l:er limits are filled with material wealth and her people are respected, elevated 
and liajipy ; and then inquire if all tliis is not the result of that Union she is called upon to break, 
and of that government sliels invited to dishonor and overthrow. To ask Kentucky to secede, is 
to ask her to commit foul dislionor and suicide. I trust that the good sense and patriotism of her 
people will not suffer her to be dragged by the currents of events, which has been cunningly inven- 
ted fVir that purpose, into the vortex of disunion; nor permit her to be artfully inveigled into an 
armed neutrality betw^een tlie rebellious Slates and the Federal Government. Such a position 
would be anomalous and fatal to the peace and perpetuity of the Union. There is no gound in the 
(_'onstitutioii midway between a rebellious State and the Federal Government upon which she can stand 
holding both in clieck and restraining the Government from the enforcement of the laws and the ex- 
orcise of its constituted authority. Such an attitude is at once unconstitutional and hostile. At a 
time like this, if she is not for the Government aiding and m dntaining it by the observance of all 
her constitutional obligations, she is against it. If the voice of her people can be heard, I fear not 
the result. Secession can only triumph, as it has triumphed in other States, by stifling the voice of 
the people and by the bold usurpation, by demagogues and traitors, of the powers which rightfully 
belong to them alone. And I might here remark, it is quite manifest that the schemes of the au- 
thors and managers of the rebellion, extend far beyond the dissolution of the Union, and embrace 
the destruction of the democratic principle of government, and the substitution of an aristocracy 
in its stead. In the seceding States the control of public affairs has been withdrawn siistantially 
from the people, and every proposition to submit to their consideration measures of the most vital 
importance has been contemptuously overruled ; and we are in truth called upon to fight not only 
for the Union, but for the principle upon which our State and National Governments are founded. 
If the rebellious States hope to profit by dissensions in the North, they have erred cgregiously, 
and have wholly failed to comprehend our people. Our divisions were UK'rely political, and not fun- 
damental : and party lines faded instantly from sight when the intelligence went abroad that war 
was being waged against the nation. When the sound of the first gun reverberated through the 
land, the people of the North arose as one man, and declared that the Government must be sus- 
tained and the honor of our Flag preserved inviolate at whatever cost. The events of the last ten 
days are pregnant with instruction and moral grandeur. They present the action of a people who 
have suffered much and waited long; who were slow to take offense and incredulous of treason and 
danger; but who, when the dread appeal to arms was made and the issue could no longer be avoided 
with honor or safety, promptly abandoned the peaceful pursuits of life and devoted themselves to 
the service of their country. I trust that the force of this lesson may not be lost upon our erring 
brethren of the Soutli, and that they will at once perceive they have inaugurated a contest from 
which they cannot emerge with honor and profit. 

On the loth dny of the'present month the President of the United States issued hi.s Proclamation 
calling upon the loyal States to furnish "5,0nu men for the protection of the Government, the sup- 
pression of rebellion and the enforcement of the laws. Subsequently the quota to be furnished by 
Indiana was fixed at six regiments, of seven hundred and seventy men each. In obedience to this 
call I issued my Proclamation calling for volunteers, and in less than eight days more than 12, 000 
men have tendered their services, and the contest among companies has been e.irnest and exciting 
as to which shall secure a place within the quota. This response lias been most gratifying and ex- 
traordinary, and furnishes indubitable evidence of the patriotism of Indiana, and her entire devo- 
tion to th'e Union. Without distinction of party, condition, or occupation, men have rallied 
around the national standard, and in every part of the State may be heard the sound of martial 
music and witnessed the mustering of companies into the field. In view of this remarkable re- 
sponse made to the Proclamaiion, on the 20th inst. I tendered to the Presiilent, for the service of 
the United Staters, six additional regiments; but telegraiihic and postal communication haviiig 
been cut off with Washington, no answer has been received up to this time. A camp was formed in 
the neighborhood of this city for the reception of the troops, and Major Wood, of the U. S. Army, 
has been busily engaged for several days in mustering them into the service. There are in camp 

companies, being an excess of the "number called for by the I'resident, and in addition to that, 

every company largely exceeds, and in some instances more t''an doubles the number that can be 
finally receivcid into the company. Some companies came by mistak(;s unavoidably occurring in 
the office of the .\djutant General, and others without marching orders. Thiy will be retained in 
camp, and provided with quart<^rs and subsistence, awaiting the action of the Legislature I can 
not refraiB from hero expressing the opinion that tias been lUtered by many who have visited the 
camp, that finer material for a gallant army was never aisembled.

State and joined regiments and batteries in other States, but only kucIi as weri> actually mustered 
into the service in tlio State of Indiana. 

THE DRAFT. 

On the 7th day <:f Julv, \H-V>, the President of tne Uniteil States called for :iOO, 000 additional volun- 
teers. On tie- oth day of August, 18ii2, he called for a second .•iO0,00O, to be raised by a draft, if 
enough volunteers couid not be ]>rcicured. Under each call the quota of Indiana was lixed by the 
War Department at 21,250 men, making the 42,500 men. By the 20th of September both of these 
.-aljs had been lilled by volunteers, except COOO, for which number it became necessary to draft. 
The number of men to be drafted was apportioned among the townships, giving credit to each 
township for all i he volunteers previously lurnished. When the enrollment was completed it was 
fdund that six hundred and tbirty-hve townsliips had furnished the number required of them, 
leaving the defi<-ien(-y to be supplied by the remaining three huiuired and thirty-four townships. 
Tho quota of each township was assigned on the 20th of September, and the draft took place on the 
i;tli dav of October. The privilege of volunteering to 8ui)ply the deficiency was continued np to the 
time of the draft, at which timet the number re(iuired by draft was reduced to 3,008, for whicli iium- 
her the draft was made. The draft was conducted throughout the State without interruption or 
disturbance, except in a single instance, and at th<t ti>ne lixed the drafted men, with few exceptions, 
reported themselves in camp for service. 

It affords me plea.-ureto srati- these facts as evidence of the prompt and quiet obedience with 
Vi-luch tlie p'-ople of Indiana submit to law and the deuuuids of the Government. 



STATISTICS AND DOCUMENTS. 311 

The Constitution of Indiana providos tliiit no person ronsi-ii ntioiisly oppoBfJ to boariiic; arms 
«liall bo conipellefl to i3o militia (lut.v, hut such person siiall pay iin equivalent lor exemption. As 
tht! draft wav upon ths; militia of the State, all persons inclniled in the (loustitiitional provisii/n 
were entiileil to its beuelit. Tli;? Leniflatnre had omitted to prescrilie any aniount f'.r the equiva- 
lent, and Assistant Adjutant (general Buokinfrham, of llu! \Var Dqiartment, under whose supervis- 
ion the draft was conducted throughout the United I^tates, fixed tlio sum at two hundreil dollars, 
which was supposed to be the ordinary aniount required at tli;it time to hire a substitute. The 
draft was made under the first section of the act of (Jongn^ss of .hily ITtli, 1SI)2, which authori7.e(J 
the Secretary of War, where there is no State law, or where the State law is deficient, to ado|)t such 
rules and regulations in regard to callinK out tlia militia as ho may deem best. 

The whole'number who established their claims to the benefit of the Constitutional provision was 
;>,iliO, as is shown by tho report of tiie Commissioner. A portion of tliese took exceptions to ihe 
plan ai'.opted by Mr Siddall, the Commiseioner of draftins:, by which it was determined how many, 
an<l by whom," the equivalent should be paid, and to the amount of the equivalent itself. An 
appeal" was taken from his action in the premises. As the Constitution and laws of Indiana make 
jio provision beyond the fact that persons conscientiously opposed to boarins arni.s, sliall not be 
compelled to do military duty, and as the authority by whicli the draft was made was derived solely 
from the act of Congress, and tho action of tho War Department, 1 referred the questions involved 
at once to the decision of Assistant .Adjutant General Buckingham. After mature deliberation, he 
.h'oided that as the exemption Avas made by virtue of the Constitution of tho State o.nly, the War 
Department had no authority and could confer none upon the Executive of the State to enforce the 
•••ollection of the equivalent, or determine its amount. 

In the correctness of this decision I fully coiicuf, and therefore refer the wliole matter to the 
Tvcgislatureas a proper subject for its consideration. 

1 appointed J. P. Siddall, Esq., a Commissioner, und'-r whose direction and supervision the 
draft was made. His duties were novel and difficult, but were performed with great jironiptness 
and ability. lU.f report is herewitli submitted. 

SIX IIKGIJIKNTS. 

At the extra session of the Losrislature, an act was passed authorizing the orpanizatioii of six 
rcLjimeuts of State troops, enlisting for the period of twelve months. These resimeiits were raised, 
and shortly after their organization four of them were permitted to rB-oi;;anize and enter the 
service of th.'; United States, for three years or during the war ; the remairjing two were subse- 
quently Iransferred to tho service of the United States, under a provision in the act autliorizinf? 
such transfer to till the requisition for troop.s made by the President of the United States, the gen- 
eral tiovernment as-suming all expenses incurred in (heir organization and support. 

SUPPMES. 

During the first five months of the war there was no Federal Quartermaster in this State, and 
the general (;overnmcnt furnished no supplies of any kind for the e<iuipment of Indiana troops, but 
all necessary supplies were furnished by the State. "The State has also furnished large Kip()lies from 
time to time, since that, where they were required for the health and jiroiniit equipment of our 
t:-<.o;is, aiid wh're the Government has failed or was unable to furnish tlcui in liiiie. 

STATE ARMS. 




ARSENAI,. 
When our tirst regiments were ready to take the field, they wc-re unprovided with ammunition, 
and as nono could be readily procured, it became necessary to have it prepared. -Mr. ^turnl, now 
the Lieutenant Colonel of the 5fth Regiment was en.;;aged for that purpose. He had studied the 
art in l^urope, and was thoroughly instructed in all its details. Uu succeeded well in tlie enter- 
prize from the bcginuing, an<l his ammunition was pronounced the very best in use. Thus was 
tlie .Vrsenal established, and as tho demaud for ammunition daily increased, and tlii^ necessity fco 
far from passing away, became constantly greater as the war progressed, what was first intended 
as a temporary convenience, became a large and permanent estalilishment. Lieutenant Colonel 
Sturm continued at the head of the establishment, managing it wiili groat success and ability, pre- 
paring ammunition of every description, for artillery and small arms, not only supplying our owu 
troops vrlieu going to tha field, but sending immense quautitics to the armies in the West aud

ADJUTANT GENERAL S REPORT- 



SoiitU. In eoveriil einergeiicies, the aniiios in tlie West ami Smitli were siipplicf) IVoni ln'i .-■, wlicn 
they conlcl not iirncure it in time from other arsenals, anil sericjus disasters Iherebj' avoiiletl. 

Siiortly after the Arsenal was fully established, it was broiii^ht to tbe attention of the War Dei)art- 
uient, and the ammnnitlon having been thorouglily testi'd, the Government a,i;reed to pay for what 
had already been issued, and to receive and pay for what should be prepared thereafter, at priees 
which were mutually satisfactory to both parties. These prices were generally below wliat the 
Government paid for ammunition, but such as it was believed would fairly indemnify the State fur 
all costs and expenses incurred on that account. Every effort was made to conduct the operations 
of the AiBenal with great economy, while paying a fair price to the many opeiatives employed. 
Persons have been employed sometimes to the number of live hundred, and protitiible occupation 
has thus been furnished to many who otherwise would have wanted the means of support. My 
direction to Colonel Sturm was to give the preference to those whose relatives and supporters were 
in the field. 

Up to the first day of January, 18r,2, tliere has been prepared at the Arsenal 92, WO rounds of artil- 
lery ammuuitio!!, and 21,'J15,500 rounds of ammunition for small arms. 

The report of Lieutenent Colonel Sturm, herewith snbmitted, will show the extent and result of 
the operations in the Arsenal. 

An examination of the Arsenal account will show that the State has not lost a dollar by it. The 
prices tixed for the ammunition were intended merely to cover all costs and expenses incurred in 
its preparation, but by economy and successful management, a balance will be found in favor of 
the State. 

QUARTERMASTER AND COMMISSARY GENERAL. 

The first Quartermaster General I appointed after the beginning of the war, was General Tliosnas 
A. Morris. He held the ofTice but a short time, when he resigned, and was sncceeiled by General 
John II. Vajen, who remained in office till March 12th, l!302, when he resigned, and was succeeded 
by General John C New. On the llJth day of October, 1KG2, General New resigned, and General 
Asahel Stone, the present acting Quartermaster General, was appointed. The reports of these 
several otticers are herewith submitted. 

General Isaiah Mansur, the first Co^mniis.sary General, resigned on the 2rith day of May, 1801, and 
was succeeded by General Asahel Stone, who has held the oltico since. Their reports are herewith 
submitted. 

The operations in the Quartermaster and Comnftissary Departments have been large, involving 
many contracts, and the disbursement of largo snnis of money. They are a proper subject for 
legislative inveotigation, to ascertain whether they have been well and faithfully performed. 

CARE OF TUE SICK AND WOUNDED. 

Shortly after the war began, it became apparent that our sick and woanded soldiers, when all had 
been done for them that couhl be, by Regimental and Hospital Surgeons, under the rcgu!ati(.ns, 
must, in very many cases, sutfer greatly from want of attention anil necessary supplies. Accord- 
ingly, I very early adopted the plan of sending agents to look after the condition, and as far as 
possible supply the wants of the Indiana troops. Tliese agents had their instructions to follow in 
the track of our armies, to pick up the sick and the wounded who may have fallen by the wayside, 
visit the hospitals, report the names ol the sick, wounded, and dead, afford relief where ever it 
could bo afforded, inform the State authorili-s what kind of supplies were needed, and whi re : visit 
the troops in the field and ascertain their wants nnd condition, and aid in having their requisitions 
for supplies jiromptly filled. These agents have generally performed their duty well, and I l>olieve, 
have been the instruments of saving the lives of hundreds of our gallant sohliers, and of relieving 
a vast amount of suffering and destitution. Slany of their reports, all of which are herewith sub- 
mitted, are descriptive of sufferings, sorrows, and" death, that would melt the stoutest heart, ami 
show better than can bt^ learned in any other way, the dreadful horrors of war. The labors of these 
agents were not confined to any particular duties, hut e.-ttended to every kind of relief that soldiers 
might need. They aided in procuring furloughs for the sick ami wounded, discharges for such as 
would not be able to serve again, in furnishing transportation at the expense of the State, for such 
as had not the means of travel, and getting home ; receiving the soldiers' money and distributing it 
to their fauLiiies, bunting up the discriptivi^' rolls for such as had been long confined in hosp.itals, 
but f4>r want of tlieir rolls couhl not be paid or discharged, visiting battle fields, bringing home the 
wounded, and distributing sanitary stores. In some cases, I directed the chartering of steamboats 
for the transportation of the sick and wounded, and in general, instructed my agents to incur such 
expenses as were absolutely necessaiy to etiabh' them to execute their mission. But notwithstanding 
all that has been been done, 1 have to lament that the efforts have come far short of the niight.v 
<lemand, that much suffering has gone unrelk-ved, and that many of our brave sojm have languished 
and died among strangers, in destitution and neglect, with no friend present to soothe their last 
hours, or mark the spot wliere their ashes sleep. 

I have employed and sent to the field many additional Assistant Surgeons, to remain until the 
emergency they were sent to relieve had passed. After severe battles, the Regimental Surgeons, 
worn down by fatigue and exposure, were found to bo inadequate to the care of the wounded, and 
additional aid became indispensable. 

Many times all the Surgeons of iv regiment were either sick or absent OE detached duty, and their 
places had to be supplied by temporary apiioiiitments. They have generally discharged their duty 
with ability, and to the satisfaction of those to whom they were sent, and for the promptitude with 
which they left their business and responded to these sudden calls, are entitled to the thanks of the 
State. 

After the battle of Shiloli, and in anticii>ation of the conflict to come off at Corinth, I applied tf* 
the Secretary of War for permission to ajipoint two additional Assistant Surgeons to each regiment 
in the granil army of Alajor General Halleck. The permission was granted, under which I sent 
about seventy Surgeons to that army, and I am gratified to believe that this moven>ent led to the 
amendment of the law by which a third Surgeon was added to each regiment, a measure greatly 
needed. 

I have also established at Washington, Louisville, Nashville, Memphis, Cairo and Columbus, 
Ky., jiermanent agents, who have rented houses and keep public offices, where sanitary goods are 
deposited for distribution, and to which soldiers cat] resort for relief. These agencies are found to 
work well, and ar>' accomplishing a great deal of good. Permanent agents have been employed at 
Philadelphia, St. Louis, Keokuk and New York, for the relief of such Indiana soldiers as may h-a 
carried to those points.

During the same peiiod they have supplied to sick and wounded Indiana soldiers Si't',379.;M, in such 
articles as were best suited to their wants and condition, leaving a biilunce in their hands of 
S;-i,n4'2.80 in goods, and S;2,7ii8.4(l in money. 

I avail myself of this opportunity to tender, on In half of the St;'.te, to the otTieers of tho Com- 
mission, and the gentlemen associat"d with thetn, my sineei-e thanks for the unremittin.? industry 
and devotion with which they have labored, witliout reward or the bope thereof, ia this great work 
of patriotic benevolence. 

Tlie above statement only embraces those supplies of stores and money which have passed tlirougb 
the hands of the ConimissioQ, and does not include those large but irregular contributions whicli 
flowed through so many other channels for the relief of our sick and woui:ded soldiers. 

Tlie greater i)avt of all tho stores, in whatever manner sent, have been contributed by the noblo 
and patriotic women of Indiana. Not only have they contributed most liberally of their money, 
but they have labored unceasingly with their hands In preparing those articles so necessary to the 
comfoi't and recovery of the sick and wounded. 

They have their reward in the ine.\pr<'ssil)le gratitude that swells the hearts of tho bravo meu 
who are the recipients of their deeds of mercy. On this subject I ijuote a briof extract from the 
report of the Commission: 

"The committee desire to express, in the strongest tevms, their gratitude to the women of Indi- 
ana who have responded, witli all the enthusiasm and generosity of their se.x, to the tails of the 
committee; they have in fact done the work, by their labors, their contributions, and their exam- 
ple; the committee have been merely their agents in receiving and dispensisig the fruits of their 
unboundefJ liberality. The same work aiid labor of love is still before them, and the same spirit 
which has so far actuated them will, no doubt, contin\jo to furnish occupatjou for tho Commission 
so long as the occasion requires it." 

Immediately upon the first establishment of camps in this city, the treatment of tho sick was 
committed to the care of Dra. Kitchen and Jameson. I subsequently authorized tho establishment 
of a Hospital here, Ivuown as tho "City Hospital," uader the care and direction ef tho same gen- 
tlemen. Their administration has been highly successful and satisfactory, and the Hospital in 
justly regarded as one of the very b"st in the United States. The whole number of patients treated; 
at this hospital, from May 1, 18(11, to January 1, 18i;:S, was 5,4'.1.5. 

Your attention is invited to the report of Drs. Kitchen and Jameson, and to the just acknowl- 
edgment therein made of the services of the ''Sisters of Providence." 

WAR LOAN. 

Uy an act of the Legislature, approved May lo, ISRl, the Governor waB authorized to issue bonds 
to the amount of Sji,(lOO,(i()0, bearing interests at the rate of C per cent, per annum, payable semi- 
annually, and falling due idi) years after date, and Hugh McCullough, James M. Hay and John II. 
O'lSoyle, Esqs., were appointed a Bourd of Loan Commissioners to negotiate their sale. 

Hugh McCullough, Esij., having failed to accept the position, I aiipoiiited Jesse J. BroAvn, Esq., 
to fill the vacancy. The report of the opi^rations of the board is herewith submitted, from which it 
will appear that thfa bonds were sold on terms favorable to the State, in view of tho then depressed 
condition 6{ the money marked, and when compared with the sale of other Western securities. Of 
the whole amount sold 5fl,2'25,fi(iU. 00 remains outstanding, and are a debt against the State. The 
remainder having been redeemed at the same price at which they were sold, adding only interest for 
tho time they were outstanding. To provide for the payment of this debt, a tax was levied, the 
proceeds of which, it is estimated, will extinguish it in four years. 

NATIONAL DIUECT TAX. 

By the C>th section of an Act of Congn-ss approved August Otli, ISfil, a direct annual tax of twenty 
inillions of dollars was levied upon the United States, and apportioned among the several States. 

The apportionment devolved the payment of S!)0-1, 875.^:5 on the State of Indiana. 

By the Midsection of the Act it was provided that any State might assume, assess and collect its 
portion of the tax and pay the same into the T'reasury, and if thus paid on or before the last day of 
June of the year for which it was levied, should entitle such Stale to a deduction of fifteen per cent, 
of the gross amount to be paid by such State. The section further provides that iiotice of the in- 
tention of the State to assume and pay her portion of the ta.x, witliout tho intervention of the Fe- 
deral officers, must bo given to the Secretary of the Treasury by the Governor, or other proper 
officer, on or before the second Tuesday of February of each year in which the tax is to be paid. 
The section also contains this proviso: That tlu; amount of direct tax apportioned to any State 
shall be liable to be paid or satistied in whole or in part by the release of such State, duly executed to 
the United States, of aiij' liquidated and determined claim of any such Stale, of equal amount 
against the United States: Provided, that in case of such release, such State shall be allowed the 
same abatement of the amount of such tax as would bo allowed in case of the payment of the sama 
in money. 

From the very beginning of the war, the State was compelled to advance large sums of money to- 
e<iiiip and supply our volunteers, and, in fact, furnished supplies of every kind until the Fall of 
ISiil, and it was believed shortly after the passage of that act, that our advances, over and abovt» 
all reimbursements, would soon be sufficient in amount to set off the amount of tax apportioned 
against the State. Accordingly I opened a corresiiondenco with the Secretary of tho Treasury oit 
the subject, and ascertained from him that the rdvances made by the State on behalf of our troopf* 
would be regarded as a "claim" within the spirit and meaning of the act, and would be admitted 
in payment of the ta.x to an amount which should be found dui^ on settlement. After consultation 
with the Auditor, Treasurer and Secretary of State, and in conjunction with them, on the ^ day 
of December, ISiJl, I filed, in the office of the Secretary of the Treasury at Washington, a papet 
oflicially signed, of which a copy is herewith transmitted, in which wo assumed that tho Stats

ADJUTANT GENERALS REPORT. 



woulii pay h'sr portion of the diri;ct tax without thft iiitiTvention of Federal ofticors, and projiosing 
to set otf aiTJiiiist thw same a like sum duo to the State for advances made in furnishing our troops, 
and to release the United States from furtlier liability for the sum thus set off and advanced ai^ainst 
the tax. This paper was accepted liy tlio Secretary <if the Treasui'y, who tliereupon declined to 
appoint the oificers provided by tlie lav/ to collect the tax within this State. On the — day of Jan- 
uary, J8'i2., Mr. Laoge, tlie Auditor of State, proceeded to Washington wiih the papers and 
vouchers embracing our claims against the Government up to that time, for the purpose of making 
Bettlenient. lie found, however, that the mode of si^tilenient with the several States had not been 
determined upon, l)y the Treasury Department, and that tlie press of business in the Department 
was such as to prevent the taking up of our accounts. He was directed to file them in the; Department 
to be taken up for adjustment whenever they could be reached. It then became obvious that our 
accounts would not be settled and adjusted by the last day of June, 18U1, so as to be "liquidated 
and determined " within tlie meaning of the Act of Congress, as before quoted, and that, after all, 
our set off against the tax was aliout to fail. 

Accoi-dinglj, I brought the matter to the attention of our Congressional delegation, and asked 
tliem to procure, if possible, such legislation as would facilitate the settlement of Our accounts, 
and if tliat could not be done, to procure an extension of the time in which accounts could be filed 
and settlements made, so that the advantage of the set off need not be lost. After much trouble 
and delay, they procured the passage of an act, which was approved on the I.Uh day of May, 18U2, 
the concluding part of which is as follows: " Provided, that in case of such release, such State, 
Territory or District shall be allowed the same abatement of the amount of such tax as would be 
allowi^d in case of the payment of the same in money," shall be construed as applying to such 
claims of States for reimbursement of expenses incurred by them in enrolling, subsisting, clothing, 
supplying, arming, equipping, paying and transporting its troops employed in aiding to suiipress 
the present insurrection against the United States, as shall be tiled with the proper officers of the 
United States before the thirtieth of July next. And in such cases the abatement of fifteen per 
centum shall be made on such portion of said tax as may be paid by the allowance of such claims, 
in whole or in part, the same as if the final settlement and liquidation thereof had been made 
before the thirtieth of June." 

This act healed the difliculty, and under it we have filed with the proper officers, anterior to the 
•Snth of July last, claims against th« United States, due to the State, more than enough to cover the 
amount of tax due from the State, after deducting the fifteen per cent, from the gross amount. 

By this operation, the State has saved fifteen per cent, of the orignal amount, which is Sly5,7:U 30, 
reducing the amount from S'JU4,875 :i,i to $7il5,U-l- 0:j, aud the latter sum is set off and paid by our 
advances. The arrangement is mutually advantageous to the State and General Government. It 
would do the Government no good to draw a large amount of money from the people of the State 
for taxes, while she "was debtor to the State to a still larger amount, which indebtedness must some- 
time be paid by money raised by taxation. Besides this, the Government was in no comlition to 
re-iiiiburse the State in the full amount of her advances, and if these advances were not used to pay 
the direct tax, the tax must have been collected from the people of Indiana immediately, while the 
advances would, in all probability, remain as a suspended debt for years to come, on which the 
(Jovernmeut, if it followed former precedents, would pay no interest. I respectfully recommend 
that the Legislature approve my action, and that of the State Officers, in the premises. 

At the last session of Congress, the operation of the act levying the direct tax upon the States 
was suspended for three j'ears. 

WAR EXPENSES. 

The whole amount of expenses incurred on account of the war, by the State, is one million nine 
Innidied and sixty-nine thousand two hundred and forty-eight dollars and thirty-six cents, 
($1 ,!l!;0,248 :ii;). The whole amount paid is one million eight hundred and twenty-two thousand nine 
hundred and sixty-eight dollars and forty-nine cents, ($1,822,0GS 40). Leaving unpaid and ont- 
staniling on the 1st day of January, 18i;3, claims amounting to one hundred and forty-six thousand 
two hutidred seventy-nine dollars and eighty-seven cents, ($140,279 87) all of which have been duly 
audited and certified by the Military Auditing Committee. 

The account ol the State against the United States, for expenses incurred for war purposes, to 
January 1, 18(33, stands as follows : 

Total amount of expenses incurred 51,91)9,248 3G

In the account against thc^ United States are included expenditures to the amonnt of $43,100 02, 
for which the State could not claim to be re-imbursed und<'r existiug laws, but which are an equit- 
able debt against the United States, and to cover which, I have no doubt, an act of Congress will 
yet be passed. 

GALLANTRY OF INDIANA TROOPS. 

While we rejoice in the bravery displayed by all the armies of the United States, it is a subject of 
profoiind congratulation that the Indiana troops have behaved with uniform and distinguished gal- 
lantry Id every action in which they have been engaged. They form a part of every army in the 
tield, aud have been among the foremost in deeds of daring, while their blood has hallowed every 
soil. 

The American Annual Cyclopedia justly declares that " the Indiana troops have been perhaps 
more widely scattered through the different corps d'armeo than those of any other State." The

lows : " \Vl[Lnc-vor tliry liuvo been ongiigcii in b;ittK' thoy have bt-tu eager to advauce, st<'aily in tho 
tight, and utterly averse to retreating.' ' 

Our troops, hitherto engaged in tlie peaceful pursuits of trade and agriculture, have manifested 
that lofty courage and high-toned cliivalry of which otheri have talked so much and posseHsod so 
little, and which b.dongs only to tho intelligent patriot, who understands well the sacred cause in 
which he draws liis sword. 

Indiana lias already inado a large investment of her best blood in the cause of this Union, and 
will never consent to its disnieniheriniMit, or a dishonorable peace. The bones of her sons mingle 
with the soil from Virginia and Jlissouri to Louisiana, and sin; will not conf(;ss that the sacrifice 
has bi en made in vain, or acknowledge that it was in an unholy cause. (Jeneral Plackleman, 
(.'olonels Brown, Bass, Link, Lieutenant Colonels Hendricks, Bachnian, Iveith, Gcrber, Kirkpatrick, 
Crosswait, Topping and Wolf; Majors Tann-'r, Gavitt, May, Arn, Abbett and Conklin — and many 
others, of lower rank, hut with valor not Idss distinguishecl, have yielded up their lives upon the 
Held that our country might be pri^served. Thousands of our private soldiers, with i-qual cournge 
and i>atiiotism, have fallen, the victims of this unnatural rebellicui. They were fighting from defp 
convictions of duty ami tho love they bore their country. Their unlettered graves mark an hun- 
dred batlle-tields, and our country can never discharge to their memory ami tluir posterity the 
tlebt of gratitude it owes. Our uratilude should bo testiiied liy the tender care we take (jf their 
families and dependent ones whom they left behind, by tho education of their children, and by the 
honor we pay to their memory. 

Nor shouhi we forget those who have perished by disease in tho camp or hospital. They were 
denied the soldier's privilege of d^ng in battle, but their sacrifice was none the less. To die in the 
field, amid tho clash of contending armies aud the roar of battle, fighting in a holy cause, is glo- 
rious : but when death comes slowly ou, in the loneliness and desolation of the hospital, with no 
mother or Bister present to soothe the passing spirit and minister as only love ca:-; minister; with 
none but the rougli hand of a comrade to press the clammy brow and perform the last oi'ices to tho 
dying, it it terrible. 

SOLDIERS' FAMILIES. 

XotwithStanding all that was being done by public and private benevolence, toward supporting 
the families of soldiers, the evidence came to me from every part of the State, that many families 
were destitute, and that great suffering must ensue during this winter, unless active steps were 
taken to raise contributions and provide for the needy. 

-Accordingly, I issued an appeal to the peojde of the State, a copy of whieh is herewith filed, 
stating tlie necessity and calling upon all who were able to contribute of their means. 1 !;m grati- 
fied to be able to report, that a very generous response has been made to the appeal, that active 
measures have been initiated in many counties in the State, to relieve the necessities and provide 
lor the comfort of the families of our soldiers who have abandoned home and all its endearments to 
fight the battles of our country. The clergy of the State were especially called upon to engage in 
the work of visitation aud collecting contributions, aud have, as I am informed, generally responded 
with zeal and energj*. 

It is, however, manifest that all efforts will fall short of meeting the necessities of the case, and 
that legislative aid will be required. 

The circumstances by which wo are surrounded are novel aud extraordinary, and should be met 
by prompt and extraordinary measures. 

I therefore earnestly invite the early and favorable consideration of this subject by tho Legislature. 

LEGIOX. 

At the E.xtra Session of tho Legislature a Militia Law was jjassed, providing for the organization 
of the Indiana Legion. 

Although this law was def(?ctive in many respects, and should be amended, yet it provided the 
frame-work of an organization which has rendered most valuable service during the war. To the 
officers and men of the Indiana Legion, tho State chiefly owes tho immunity sln^ has enjoyed from 
invasion, plunder and murder by tlie guerrilla and marauding bands which infested many of the 
adjoining counties in Kentucky Not only so, their aid and protection has been cheerfully and 
successfully extended to the loyal citizens of Kentucky, when it has been called for. On several 
occasions they met the enemy in battle, when they ably maintained the credit of the State, and 
behaveil with that distinguished courage which has characterized the soldiers of Indiana through- 
out this war. Some have fallen in battle, and I earnestly recommend that their familes be provided 
for, and placed on a footing at least equal to the families of those who fall in iIk? Federal service. 
They also rendered prompt and efficient service in guarding rebel prisoners when the Federal forces 
performing that duty were called into the field. Although tho organization and operation of tho 
Legion have been chiefly confined to the counties bordering on the Ohio river, yet much has been 
done in some of the interior counties, and among them I would especially notice the counties of 
Jennings, Decatur, Shelby, Tippecanoe, Putnam, Parke and Vigo. The response which was made 
from those counties, on sudden calls tor military force, was of the most energetic and satisfactory 
character. For a full account of the operation of the Legion, I refer you to the able aud interest- 
ing report of Major General Love. Your attention is also especially called to the recommendations 
contained in his report relative to the amendment of the Militia Law. It is very important that 
provision be made presenting inducements to join the Legion, by jiroper exemptions and payment, 
and conferring the authority and pointing out the manner, by which members of companies shall 
be compelled to attend meetings for drill and respond to calls tor service. Such authority is 
doubtless contained in the Law now, but its mode of exercise is not determined. The Legislature 
appropriated, for the support of the Legion, 87ii,(IOO for the year 1801, and $70,0U0 for the year 18(i2. 
As will ajipear from tho Auditor's report, only the sum of S7,-'3V.i 2.i has been ■xpended on these 
appropriations up to the 31st day of October last. The distribution of the Fund among the counties 
and regiments, as required by the act was never made by t e Adjutant General, because of insuper- 
able difficulties growing out of di-fects in the Law, and the organization of the companies. I trust 
the Legislature will make prompt provision for the payment of all claims growing out of the opera- 
tions of the Legion, and for a proper distribution of the Fund. 

Strongly impressed how much the peace and security of the State depended on the efficiency of 
the Legion, iu the mouth of October, I summoned the officers to this city to receive military 
instruction in a school temjiorarily organized and conducted by Major General Love. Some four 
hundred gentlemen were in attendance, and the spirit and devotion manifested by them, aud their 
progress in military knowledge, were of the most encouragiug aud satisfactory character.

ADJUTANT GENERAL'S REPORT. 



IMtOCLAMATION CALLIXfi OUT THE ^IILITIA. 



At tlif time (if tl:o invasion of Kentucky by Kirby Hniilli, the- guprriiliis iiifstcil llin KiMitncky 
siiie of til!' Ohio [!ivi-r ft'om Lawrcncfburg to Mount VcrriDti, and iit sevi;ral points ]a7Ko borlirs of 
robcl (-iivali-y were nssenibleil, and sei-nied to be awaiting an oiipoi'tnnity to cross tlie river ami 
iuvado the State. Tiie river was very low, in many places fordable, and inucli alarm prevailed in 
our border counties. 

Accordingly, I issued a Proclamation, of which a copy is herewith fili'd. requiring all tl:e able- 
bodied men, subject to military service, between the ages of eighteen and forty-five, in the counties 
bordering on the Ohio Kiver, to assemble at stated periods, with whatever arms they could com- 
mand, to organize themselves into companies and be instructed in military tactics. This Proclama- 
tion was very generally iicquiesced in, and carried into execution by the people, and was conlinui'd 
as long as the emergency seemed to require. The preparations tlius made, in connection with tlie 
Legion, for repelling and punishing invasion, deterred the guerrilla and marauding parties, wiio 
were plundering and inurdi'ring the Union men ou the other side of the river, and proti cted tli.' 
lives and property of our citizens. 

AD.IUTANT GKXERAL. 

1 lay before you the able and interesting report of Adjutant General Noble. 

It contains a brief history of the operations of the State in furnishing troops for tha prosculion of 
the war, and much most valuable information. I have instructed him to prepare another rejiort, 
to contain the name of every ofTicer and private soldier who has entered the army from Irrdiana. 
with the number of the regiment, company or battery to which he belonged. Such a report woubi 
be invaluable hereafter as a work of history. 

UNITED STATES ARSENAL AND ARMORY. 

At the last session of Congress an act was passed appropriating Sl(l(),(ii)0 for the purchase of 
grounds and construction of buildings, and necessary macliiney for an Arsi'ual and Aruioiy to be 
located in this city. 

The grounds have been purchased and the construction of the buildings will b(! eommenced as soon 
as the Legislature shall liave relinquished the jurisdiction over such grounds, so far as reijuired by 
the laws of the Utiited States. 

THE V.'AR— PRESIDENT'S PROCLAMATION. 

A number of States arc in rebellion against the Government, endeavoring to dissolve t!ie Union, 
and establish a new Confederacy ; they iiave large armies in the field, and are making war upon a 
grand scale. It is said by some that we can compromise, and make peace. But what is meant by 
compromise? Would consenting to a dissolution of the Union, dismemberment of our territory 
and establishment of an Independent Confederacy be regarded as a compromise? If so, we can 
compromise. Have the rebels ever intimated, or held out proposals f<ir peace on any other terms? 
If they have, I have no knowledg(! of it. On the contrary, tliey have, in every form and on every 
occasion, declared their unalterable purpose to accept only of disunion and indei)Pndence. 

Some two weeks ago, Wm. L. Yancey, oneof the most aide and influential men in the reliel States, 
was inxited to address the Legislature of Alahama. In the course of his speech, he reviewed in the 
most scornful and cont ■mptuons language, the proposals of compromise and peace, which had come 
from the N.irth, and spit upon the men who offered them, declaring that they would prove as false 
to the South as they ad recreant to the North. He expressed, however, a hope thxt the Soutli 
would receive great benefit from dissensions iu the North, and upon that subject usad the following 
language : 

" We have something to hope, however, from this division of the councils of our enemies — fmm 
their fierce party strife and jealousies. Upon this hope let us build our own unity — upon their jeal- 
ousies let us build our own harmony — upon these clashings of party interests let us bind together 
our own patriotic energies — upon their selfishness and folly let us base a prayer to God that he 
would enable us to exhibit, iu behalf our beloved country, a self-sacrificing wisdom, both in opinion 
and action, in all matters appertaining to our defense." 

Why th<'n should the people of the North be deluded with the idea that compromise is possible, 
and thus induced to abandon their efforts to suppress the rebellion ? Why should they be divided 
among themselves, and weakened by the proclamation of a hope so utterly fallacious? Some there 
are who profess to believe that all we have to do to bring about peace and a restoration of the 
Union, is to lay down our arms and withdraw from the conflict. Peace, temporary and hollow, 
might he had upon such terms, but not a restoration of the Union. It would be a dishonorable and 
phameful surrender, forever tarnishing the character of the Nation, and History would write down 
as infamous the instruments by which it was accomplished. 

Others say that we should re-construct the Union, in doing which the New England States should 
be left out. But what have the New England States done that they should bo left out ? It is said 
wo are paying heavy duties on imports to sustain their manufacture, and are in that way oppressed. 
If so, let us repeal them. The New England States are but six, while the States of the North- 
West alone are nine, with the prospect of an indefinite increase. That, however, is not the real 
objection. It is that their political principles are offensive, and the men who would turn tlieic out, 
desire to construct a Republic in which they can hold the power. Such a project would be criminal 
to the last degree, if it were not insane. The fortunes of parties are variable. The party in power 
to day is down to-morrow, and the victors are, in turn, overwhelmed, and so it goes fiom year to 
year. The scheme of constructing a Republic, taking in such States as are favorable, and turning 
out such as are not, presents the last stage of partisan insanity. It would be forming a Republic for 
the party, and not the party for the Republic. A government founded upon such iguoblo purposes 
could not stand, and would not deserve to. 

In every point of view, the scheme just considered, is full of dishonor and ruin. Our Union 
once dissolved, and our present relations broken up, all that is traditional and sacred would be lost, 
and any future alliances that States might form with each other would be regarded as mere arrange- 
ments of convenience, possessing no tie beyond the interests of the hour, and liable to dissolve at 
the first outbreak of faction. 

The President has issued his proclamation offering freedom to slaves held in certain of the rebel- 
lious States. It remains to be seen what effect this proclamation will have in suppressing tha rebel-

lioti ; but whetliiT it be eflertnal or not, tho piirposo for wliicli it was intended, the authoiily upon 
wliicli it was itisiuii is bcjoiiil (imstion. 

If tlie rebels (io not (Ifsire tlic Govcnimont of tlip United States to interfere with tlieir slaves, let 
tb>-in cease to employ thcin in tbe prosecvUiou of the war. Tliey sliouhi not use them to liuilil fur- 
tificntioiis, manage- their ba>igiige trains, perform all the labor of the cam]) an<l march, and above 
all to raise provisions upon which to subsist their armies. If tliey emiiloy tlie institution of 
slavery as an instrument of war, like other instruments of war, it is subject to destruction. De- 
prive them of slave labor, and three-fourths of the nu'u romposinK tlieir armies would bo com- 
pelled Io return home to raise food upon which to subsist thi'mselves and families. If lliey are per- 
mitted to retain slave labor, they are enabled to maintain their armies in j;reat force, and to des- 
troy that force we are compelled to shed much of our best blood. Let us not be moie tender of 
their property, than we are of our blood. 

But it is said the emancii)ation of the slaves will lead to insurrection, and the sacrifice of inno- 
cent women and children. Such an event would be (greatly deplored. But it is not in my judg- 
ment, a necessary risulr, or one lik(dy to occur. The history of iiisurreiitions shows that they 
spring not from emancipation, but from despair. But if it were, I should say to the rebels, that if 
tliey wer<' unwilling to incur the dan^rcrs of insurrection, and do not wish the GovernuK-nt to med- 
dle with their slaves, they must cease to employ them in the prosecution of tin? war. With what 
propriety can they emi)loy the institution of slavery us a means of our destruction, and at tb- same 
tinu' ask us to let it alone V As well miyht they place their women and children in front of their 
ranks, lire over their heads at us, and then cull upon ns not to tire back for fear of hutting them. 

The madness which would inaugurate civil war in tliu North, and set neighbors and brothers to 
cutting each others throats, because the President has proclaimeii freedom to slaves in States which 
have attempted to secede from the Union — liave utterly rejected the authority of the; Constitution 
id' the United States — liave formed for themscdves a new Constitution — made a new flag, and to 
maintain these are waging an unnatural and bloody war, is beyond human comprehension. 

That we should fall upon and devour each other, to protect the Constitutional rights of those 
who declare to the world that they have forever renounced and abjured all allegiance to the Consti- 
tution and Governnn nt of the United States, would be a spectacle so monstrous that no parallel 
could be found in history. 

There is lint one salvation for this people, and tliat is the suppression of the rebellion and the res- 
toratinn ot the Union ; and this can surely be accom])lishcd if we aie but united ; and I pray God 
that th(? storms of party and passion, which now obscnr(? the heavens, may speedily pass away, and

PROMPT PAYMENT OF SOLDIERS. 

GOVERNOR MORTON'S SPECIAL MESSAGE. 

St.^te of I.sniANA, Executive I>F.rARTMF,NT, ■? 
Indianapolis, February 4, ISijO. / 
To the General Assembly of the Slate of Indiana : 

Owing to the immense drafts that have been made on the Treasury of the United States, the Gov- 
frnment has been unablt? to promptly pay the trooi)s the waives to which they are entitle<l. To 
most of the soldiers, four months pay is line, and to ntany of them si.x. 1 am inforni'-d, however, 
that enough money lots recently Ijeen furnished to Paym^isters to jiay all arrearages up to the first 
of November last, which will still leave due and unpaid their wages tor two months ending on tlie 
first of .lannary. The failure by the Government to pay the army the money due to it at the 
period fixed by law for its payment, which is every two months, operates with great hardship upon 
the wives, children, and parents who are dependent upon it for their support. The compeiifialion 
of the i)rivate soldier is small, and if the jmyinent of it be greatly dibiyed, much suffering must 
ensiu'. 'I he brave and generous nu^n who have gone to the fi( Id to perii tlndr lives in bittle ami 
endure the hardships of war, shinild not be allowed to feel that the payment of their scanty com- 
pensation is delay(?d, if there be any means by whi( h delay can hi- aviuiled. The sohlier needs 
money while in camp and on the maich, and often sulTers greatly in health and comfort for want 
of it. 

The Government, I believe, is doing all in its power to meet its engagements promptly, but the 
question is, wln^tlK^r the State could not, without serious detriment to iiersidf, remove the difficulty, 
so far as the Indiana troops are loiicerned, by advancing their unpaid wa;;es. If proper legislativo 
authority were given, the State conid, I have no doubt, borrow of the banks or individuals in Indi- 
ana, New Voik, or other places, at h^g.il interest, enoUL'h mou'-y for the iinrpose.-and an arrange- 
ment could be mad(' with the Secretary of the Treasury by whicdi the .■imount advanceil should be 
refunded to the State by the United States whenever the Government was able to Jiay the same? to 
the troops, if they had not been paid by the State. The State would be reimburRed for her expendi- 
tures, pr(d)ably every sixty or ninety days, and the interest paid upon the loans would be trifling 
compaied with the amount of good that would be accomplished ; and this interett would no doubt 
be refunded by the Government. 



318 ADJUTANT general's HEPOKT. 

Tlip plan for doinK if, I \voi!l,! briefly suggest as follows : Let the. oflicers and s(iUUei>', iu proper 
form, assign tlie pay dii" them to tlio Treasurer of the .State, witli a direction in the assi^nnient to 
whom the money shoulil be paid by the State. If the rnonej' is to be paid to the family or friendj 
of the officer or soldier living in this State, it can be done through the Treasurer of the county in 
which sur.h persons live. If the money is to be sent to the soldier in the field, it can he done by 
Federal Paymasters, under an arrangement with the Paymaster General at Washington ; or, if it 
be preferred, tiie money can remain in the State Treasury as a deposit, subject to the order, at any 
time, of the person entitled to diaw it. Upon the pay-rolls thus assigned to the Tre:i,<.urer of the 
State, he can, from time to time, settle with the United States and receive back the mouies 
advanct^d. 

The measure prop!)sed has several important advantages. Firxt. By the prompt payment of the 
troops a prolific source of discontent and desertion is removed. Second. OHicers ami men are 
enabled to provide for their own necessities in the field, and for the support of tlieir families and 
dependent ones at home. Third. By tlie plan proposed of jiaying through tlie. County Tr/asurer.':, 
families and dependent ones at Iionie will receive a largf! amount which would never reach them, 
even though it were promptly paid to those entitled wliile they were in the field. Fourth. Much 
money would be held in tiust as a d^'posit iu the State Treasury, which, if paid to the soldiers in 
the field, would be squandered or lost. 

The recommendation is not infen.led to be confined to pay now in arrf ar, but to apply in the 
future, when the Government is unable to promptly mei t its engagements with tlie aiiny. "Siuiuld 
the plan ^■uggested not be d'-i'ined f^'asible, or the best, 1 will cheerfully co-operate withyou in the 
adoption of any other by whicli the me.in purpose, the prompt payment of Indiana troops, can be 
accomiilisheil. 

1 would ri'sp"ctfully invite vour earlv co^^ideratioG of the subji-ct.

here hy the Goveriinieti t, and l)y tlie State autliorif ies. When tlie time eaiiie for ninsterin.u' oiU tl^eir 
regiments, tliey demanded tlieir discharge, wliich was refused. I presented the matter to tiji; See - 
retary of War, who declined to act on it, on tlxi- t;ronnd tliat the formal muster-roll which they had 
signed showed that they had entered the service for the period of tliree years, and left him no dis- 
cretion to enterfere in their hehalf. This was true ; but tievertheleas, the understanding existed ii) 
full force, as the statement in the muster-roll was explained by the mustering otlicer as a mere 
technical necessiiy. 1 afterwards addressed a memorial on tho subject to Congress, statius all tha 
facts, and inviting them to take action for the relief of these men, tiut they Cailerl to do so at the time, 
I present the matter for your consideration, trusting that you will see tit to lay it before Congresn. 

CALLANTRY OF INDIANA SOLDIERS. 
Thi' duty of appointing oflicers to command our regiments is full of responsibility and eiiibarrar- 
ment. I have commissioned many whom 1 did not know, and for whose lituess 1 was compelled to 
rely entirely upon the opinion of othets. But it affords me great gratification to state that the In- 
diana otticers, as a body, have been found eijual to those of any other State; that they have, upon 
every battle field, nobly sustained the great cause, and shed lustre upon the flag under which iliey 
fought. Many have been appointed to higli commands, in which they acquitted themselves with 
the greatest honor and ability, and very many have nobly laid down their lives in battle for their 
country. Our private soldieis have behaved with uniform and distinguished gallantry in every ac- 
tion in which they have been engaged. They form a part of every army in the field, and have beei» 
among the foremost in deeds of daring, while their blood has hallowed every soil. Hitherto engag- 
ed in the peaceful pursuits of trade and agriculture, they have manifested that lofty courage and 
high-toned chivalry of which others have talked so much and possessed so little, and which belongs 
only to the intelligent patriot who understands well the sacred catise in which he draws his sword. 
Thousands have fallen the victims of an unnatural rebellion. They were figliting from deep con- 
victions of duty and the love they bore their country. Their unlettered graves mark an hundred 
battle fields, and our country can m^ver discharge to their memory and their posterity the debt of 
giatitude it owes. That gratitiule should be testified by the tender care we take of their families 
and depetident ones whom they have left behind, and by the education of their children. 

GETTYSBURG CEMETKRY. 
After the battle of Gettysburg, arrangements were made by the State of PennBylvania for thi* 
establishment of a National Cemetery upon tho battle ti. M, in whieh each St-ite having troops en- 
gaged should have a place set apart for the Ijurial of its <lead. As Indiana lost many gallant and 
cherished sons in that great conflict, I took the responsildlity of co-operating with I'ennsylvania 
and other States, by the appoirtment of Colonel J(din G. Stephenson as Commissioner to select the 
place and snperinfend tho removal thereto of our dead. These duties he faithfully performed, and 
for more full information, you are referred to his r(port. herewith submitted; and for an accouut 
of the expenses incurred, to tho financial report of Wr. Terrell. For my action in this matter, your 
approval is respectfully solicited. 

CARK OF SOLDIERS' FAMILIES. 
I invite your immediate attention to the necessity of making an appropriation for tho relief and 
support of the families of our soldiers. It is too well understood to require argument or statement, 
that the monthly pay which they receive, especially after deducting that part which their own wani.t 
in the iield abscdutely require them to expend, is wholly iusuthcieiit for tiie support of their families 
at this period of high prices. The duty resting upon the p ople of the State to provide support ami 
prevent suffering and (iestitutiou in these cases, is also too ch'ar fur argument, ami ueed,H only to bi? 
stated to command general assent. If the relief be furnished in the mann»r proposed, the burden 
will fall upon all the people of the State according to their several capacities to bear it, and will be 
.■>o light as to be scarcely felt, and will, T am sure, be cheeifuily borne. It is an hour of great trial 
to the Natiou, and solemn duties are devolved upon the people, whether at home or in thefield. Our 
.s<ddiers are performing tiieir duties gloriously, and to tho admirtition of the world. Let the peu- 
jde at home do theirs, and all will be well 

INDIANA STATE SANITARY COMMISSION. 

I liave thought proper to lay before you the report of Dr. Ilannaman, President, and .Mired Har- 
rison, Treasurer, of the Indiana State Sanitary Commission. Sinct; its formal organization on the 
;5d day of March, 186J, it has received contributions in money to the amount of one hundred and 
fifty-five thousand seven hundred and ninety-six liollars and forty-five cents, and supplies for the 
army valued at three hundred and thirteen thonsanil six hundred and five dollars and sixty-six 
rents, making an aggregate of four humlred and sixty-nine thousand four hundred and two dollars 
and eleven cents. As to tho manner in which this money and these supplies h;ive been expended 
and <listributed, and the number, managemont, and operations of the various military agencies that 
have been established, the appointment of special surgeons, and traveling Satiitary Commissioner.^, 
you are referred to Dr. Hannainau'a report. This €• nimission has been instrumental in preserving 
many lives, and relieving untold sutlering and distress. It has received no support from tho fairs 
held in the great cities, in which large sums have been realized, but has been sustained by a system 
of collections and voluntary contributions on the part of our people, whicli are fully describetl by 
Dr. ilannaman. I am aware that, as this Commission has not been established by law, and is not, 
therefore, legally responsible to the Legislature, it may be said by some that you should take no 
cognizance of it whatever; but as tho people of the State have a right to know what disposition has 
lieen made of their patriotic gifts, and as the soldiers of Indiana are deeply interested in its con- 
tinued success, which can only be maintained by preserving the confidence of the people in its in- 
tegrity and etliciency, it is my desire, and that of all tho eflicers engaged in its administration, that 
.you should take cognizance of it, and institute such investigaliniis. by a proper committee, as will 
stablish its merits and claims to public conlidencc, or enable its enemies to point out its defects. 
I cannot leave tho subject without expressing to Dr. Ilannaman my sincere thanks for the devo

ADJUTANT GENERAL S REPORT. 



5lio prreat work of rtlicf to our sick and wounderJ soldiers — witliout i-ewarcl, or thn hope of it— and 
has tlius 8(.'t a iiobi" example before our rouutrymen of tlie p|iirit in which tlie burdens hu'I duties 
of the war sliould bo borne. Noi sliould I omit to return tlianks to the Treasurer, and all otlier 
officers of tin' Comniissioji, for their devotion and effieicney in tlie diseliarge of their duties; and 
t'speeially to the patriotic women of Indiana, liy whose labors and infjuence the greater part of the 
contributions have been made. Their zeal has not been ditnini.-<hed by the protraction of the war, 
hut has increasi'd with the increasing wants of our soldiers ; and while many have labored unceas- 
iui;ly witli their hands, others hav(! given most liberally, and often from veiy small means. They 
{lave their reward in tlie support they have given to the cause and ia the gratitude of the many 
thousancis of bravo hearts that tliey have made lijrht and hiippy. 

The dury of collecting back Jiay, pensions, and bounties, for our soldiers and soldiers' widows and 
orphans, free of charge, I devolve(l upoa tlie agencii's est:tblished at Wasliingtim and in this city 
nearly two years ago, and they have accomplislied mnch good in that way. But I have not been 
able to employ the force necessary to meet the demands of a business so largf and important, nnd 1 
I'l^coniniend that such legislation be had as will establish agencies upon a permanent basis. With a 
force sutiicieiit to transact the business, and save tlie clainiauts from the gnat sacrifice they may 
otherwise be compelled to make, many of whom are but poorly able to bear it. 

SOLDIEliS' VOTES. 

Under the provisiuns of our Constituti«n, no person can vote except in the preciiit in which he 
resides. This should be so amended, in my opinion, as to enable such of our citizens as are in the 
military service of the Governjuent, and who would lie entitled to a vote if at home, to vote wher- 
»-ver they may be, in camp or tield, under such reasonable regulaticns aud sal'egnard as might be 
prescribed by the Legislature. 

I can conceive of no greater political injustice, than the exclusion fiom the righc of sunVagp, of 
those gallant men who are absent from home, because they are fighting tlu' battl -s of tledr coiiatry. 
I earnestly hope tiiat immediate steps will be taken to relieve our C<;nstitutlon of this injustice, 
and although it may not be accomplished in time to become operativo during tlie war, it should uot 
on that account be neglected. 

LEGION. 

It is important to the peace and security of the State that we have a wejl organized and ciinipped 
cuilitia, which may be speedily called out in an emergency. To the officers ami men of tlie Indiana 
Legion, the State chiefly owes the immunity she has enjoyed from invasion, plunder ami murder, by 
tiie guerrillas and maiauding banils which have infested many of the adjoining counties of Ki'ii- 
tucky. On several occasions they met the enemy in liattle, when they ably maintained the credit of 
the State, and behaved with that dis inguished courage which has characterized the soldiers ot In- 
diana throughout this war. Some have fallen in battle, and I I'arnestly recommend tnal their fami- 
lies be provided for, and placed upon a footing at least equal to the families of those who fall iu the 
Federal service 

The organization, discipline aud efficiency of the militia should be encouraged and promoted by 
every means and inducement which the Legislature can present, and placed, if possible, upon an 
enduring basis. It should be so organized that every person capable of performing military duty. 



sary, be called into the field, In this respect the [iresent law is entirely wanting, and in many 
cithers is so defective as to make it a matter of surprise that the organization of the Legion should 
Iiavo been so etiicient and well maintained as it has. I therefore call your attention to the neces- 
sity of so amending the law, as to create a military organization that will be ethcieiit and suited to 
the circumstances by which we are surrounded. 

The very able report of Major General Mansfield, of the general ojieration aud condition of the 
Legion for the last two years, herewith submitted, is interesting and important. 

QUARTEIOIASTER'S REPORT. 

The ri'port of the Quartermaster and Commissary General is herewith laid before you, and your 
attention espi'cially called to its contents. The administration of this department by General Stono 
has been highly successful and satisfactory. 

EXPENDITURES OF TIIE PAYMASTER. 

The State Paymaster, Major Stearns Eisher, has disbursed for all purposes the sum of two liun- 
drud and fifty-eight thousand six hundred and teu dollars and ten cents. Of this amount I 
advanced to him one hundred and seventy-one thousand si.\ hundred and sixty-one dollars and 
eighty-idght cents, of which he repaid to me the sum of fifty thousand dollars. He drew by my 
order from the special military fund, created by the hiw of 18'il, the sum ol seventy-five thousand 
dollars. When this latter sum was refunded to me by the Government upon filing with it the 
receipted pay-rolls, I paid the money into the State Treasury to the credit of the aiipropriation 
from which it was drawn, and from which he has drawn again, the sum of sixty-nine thousand 
eight hundred and forty-two dollars and nine cents According to his report, which is herewith 
sulimilted, the whole amount of liabilities incurred to the Indiana Legiiin and minute men, for 
military services, is four hundred and nineteen thousand seven hundred and forty-t»o dollars and 
eight cents, of which amount the sHni of two hundred and thii ty-five thousand seven hundreil and 
sixty-eight dollars and tbrty-six cents has been jiaid, leaving nii])aid the sum of one hundred aud 
eighty-three thousand nine hundred and seventy three dollars and sixty-two cents. But the Pay- 
ma,ster has still in his hands the sum of twenty-seven thousand four huiidred and seveuty-thrce 
dollars and seventy-seven cents in cash, leaving the balance to be provided for. 

DAMAGES EY TUE MORGAN RAID. 

In the month of .luly, 1SC3. the State was invaded by the r< bel General John Morgan, and the 
forces undej- his comniaiid. In response to a call which 1 issued for military lorces for the purpose 
of capturing and punishing this robber horde, our people flew to arms in numbers and with an 
alacrity before unknown in the history of the war. In a few short hours the invasion was con-

Kustained, it is much easier for -the people of the S^tnU^ tolieartheni in tlieir coUeetive capacity, Iha-H 
it is for the particular itulividtials upon whom they have fallen. In niai:y instances, pei-oons ■<vlM 
iost tlieir pro*)prty in the Morgan raid were in hiimble -cirrunistances, and were iiut to great inced- 
venienee thereby, and in some cases even reduced to destitution. I tliereibre recommend fliat a 
coniniission tie created, clothed wiln such powers as will euatile them to make a full and careful a'.p- 
prairein"nt of the damaRes sustained, and that an appropriation lie made to defray them out of the 
Treat «:-y, wlien -they have been legally assessed. As there is a iiatnral tendency to exap,jrerate (\:nn- 
Uf'cs when tln'y ,ii'e fn be paid for'by the pnbiic, such safeguards shocld be adopted by the commission 
;is will prevent impesition upon the iSfate. 

ARSENAL. 

When oixr "first re^:imen(.s were ready tn take the field they were TiTiprovided with ammunition 
,-ind as nonecfuild be readily procur(^d, it beranio necessary to liave it prepared. Colonel ^>turm then 
•was encased for that purpose. He Had .studied the art iu Europe, and was thoroughly instriicted in 
all its detail?!. Ho succeeded well in the enterpri.se from the bearinninp, and his ammunitiiui was 
pronounceil the very best ill use. 9'hHswasthe Arsenal established, and as the di'niand for aii\- 
munition daily Increased, and the ne'^essity se far from pas.sjug away became constantly greater as 
the war pro.cressed, whr.t was liret iTitended as a temporary convenience, became a large and per- 
jiianont establishment. Coloned Stnriu continued at the head of the establishment, managing it with 
«r.-at success and ability, preparing ammunition of every desvcription for Artillery and small arms, 
and not only sepply-ing o«r own troojis when going to the field, but sending i-mmense quantities to 
tiie armies in the West and South. In several emergencies, the armies in the West antl S<iuth were 
supplied from here, when they could not procure it in time from other arsenals, and serious dis- 
^isters were thereby avoided. 

Shortly after the Arsenal was fullj established, it was brought to the attrition of the War He- 
•pai tnient, and tlte ammunit-ion having been thoroughly tested, the Government agreed to pay I'ur 
What had already been is8ue<l, and to receive and pay Ibr what should be jirepared thereafter, at 
'prices which v/ere satisfactory to both parties. The-.e prices were generally below what the Gov- 
■ernment paid for ammunition, but such as, it was believed, would fairly in<lemuily the State for all 
costs and expenses incurred -on that account. 

The operations of the Arsenal were susp,.-nded during the session of tho late Legislature, and its 
condition and resnUs fully repovtcd lo that body. No iegislalive action traving been taken in regard 
to it. and the necessity for its continued operation still existing in full force, I proposed to the 
Auditor and Tre-asnrer of State that they siiould co-op"rate with me in carrying it forwaril. This 
'Ihey deelinei^ to do, on the ground that it \vas not authorized by law. Afterw.irds 1 dcdermined to 
take the responsibility of continuilig it, providi'd tho Legislative Auditing Committee would ex- 
amine and r.udit all iti'ms of expenditure that might be incurred on that account To this the 
Committee agreed, Kpon conilition that one of their number should be selected to be present at the 
Arsenal at ail times, for the daily examinatio'.i of its expenditures and inspection of its ojierations. 
With tlrs arrangement I was well satislied, anil the (Jommittee selected lion. Sanund II. Enskirk 
for that duty. He continued in the pi'ri'orniance of the dtity thus assigned him with ability and 
industry until the final winding tip of the Arsenal, at whith time the Committee made a full report 
iif its <iperations, which Is herewith fcubmitted. It will be found from an examination of this re- 
port, and the detailed accounts of the Arsenal from the time of its starting, that it yielded a net 
■•ash profit te tlie State of seventy-one t^iousand three hundred and eighty dollars and one cent, 
(?f71,;ih0.(il), besides leaving on hand for futuie use, if necessary, all the tools and apparatus stored 
uway in the Quartermaster's Department, valued at four thoUsaiid and two dollars and forty-four 
■ciTits. All sums at anj time drawn from the State Tieasury, on account of the Arsenal, have been 
returned, and the profits only have remained in my hands, which I have charged against myself in 
the general account, and have used in defraying the expenses of the State Oovernment. It was no 
part of the original plan that protits should result to the State from its operations, and they have 
sprung s<dtdy from the economical and skillful manag<'nient, for wliich Colonel Sfurtn is entitled to 
trie chief creilit. Its original establishnmnt and continuance xvere strictly a military necessity, and 
whether absolutely covered by the law or not, have b'-en of great benetit to the State and the Gov- 
•ernment. It entailed upon me great responsibility and anxiety, from which I gladly escaped nt tho 
t'arliest moiuciit. 

MILITARY EXrENDlTIIIiES. 

Upon the ad.!Ournment of the Legislature I tonird •mys('lf unproviiled, with the exception of a 
Ti'nall balance of the military contingent fund, with money or apiirojiriations for military purposes. 
Now regiments coHld not be raised «ndi".r the re<iuisitions of the Govcvnnient, nor recruiting carrii-d 
forward, without the use of large sums of money. The L>'i:ion liad received no pay for their services 
from the beginning of the war, and the orgMiization coulil not b'' successfully continued unless 
payment was made, and the men reimbursed for their acttual exiienditiires for which the aiqiropria- 
tion for the Legion fund, made in IS d, was inadequate. The Southern border was still disturbed 
by threats and danger of invasion, and such steps wiu-e to I'l' taken, if possible, as would guaranty 
^)eace and secnrity to our people. In this dilemma, 1 determined to apply to the I'ri sident for an 
advance under an appropriation made by Congress on tho :jlst of July, LSGl, which act is in these

(jfi>(l,00(i.) It will lie ptTCfived that tUis money was uot paid to'nia as a '.oan to the State, or ai: 
afVvaiicc to the State npou di^bts due to her from the General Government, and creates no del.'; 
uftai'ist the State whatever, but that in theory it is an expenditure made by the President, through, 
ihp, as liis disbursing agent. It lia.s, liowever, been disbursed exclusiTely in the name and for tin 
henelit of the State, in the payment of necessary military expenses, for which tlie State should havi 
made ample appropriations. I have advanced to the Paymaster of the State forces, at iliifereni 
times, the su.'n of one hundred and seveuty-one thousand six hundred! and si.xty-ono dollars am! 
tij;lity-pis>ht cents, of which the greater portion, however, has been reirabiiTsed to nie by the Gen- 
eral Government, upon my filing in the proper Departraent the receipted pay-roll.s of the Indiana 
Legion, for services rendered in the war. For a detailed account of the expenditures of the military 
lund, the Legislature is referred to the financial report of Hon. W. II. FI. Terrell, Financial Secre- 
tary, which is herewith submitted, and to the vouchers on file in this Department. AU of these 
expenditures were laid before the Auditing Committee, appointed by the late Legislature, for exam- 
inalion. and received their approval. As will be shown by the rex'ort, 1 had on hand on t'-M; Ist da> 
(if .launary, 180.5, of the military fund, the sum of one hundred and fifteen thoHsand four hundri'cJ 
and eighty-seven dollars and twenty-eight cents, and the question is now presented as to the 
1 roper method of settlement with the Government for this fund. One of two ways may Ixj adopted. 
/■'(>.'.(, by returning to the Government the balance of the fund unexpeudeo, and by settling with it fo; 
the amount expended, upon vouchers of expenditures, after the same shall have been approved by 
the Legislature: and this vfould bo in accordance with the theory upon which the money was 
originally advanced by the President. Secimd, by paying into the State Treasury the unexpended 
pari of liie fund, and treating the whole as an advance to the State, to be accounted for by her Iq 
lier general settlement with tlio Government fer advances made Tills latter plan is, in my juiltp- 
7iient, more consonant with justice and the honor of the State, the money having been e.-^pended fo! 
tuirposes for which the State was honorably and patriotically bound to make provision.

Of this balance, S8,7i;8 90 belongs to the funds received on acconnt of civil expenses, and

In conclusion, on this subject, 1 respectfully request that a joint committee of the two IIous>'S be 
speedily appointed to investigate the civil and military expenditures I have made since the adjourn - 
iiK'Ut of the last Legislature, and to examine the vouchers for the same on file in my department, 
and that the Legislature will make prompt provision for the repayment of the money I have bnr 
rowed for public purposes. It was advanced from patriotic motives, with a full reliance upon th.' 
good faith of the State fcr its reimbursement, and without it the machinery of the Stat? Govern - 
jiieiit could not have been kept in motion. 

I apiiointed Hon. \V. H. H. Terrell as Financial Secretary, and placed under his care and mange- 
ment the examination and settlement of all accounts. He deserves great credit for the ability and 
success with which he has conducted the bosiness, and I desire in this public manner to express lo 
him my thanks for his services. His report is herewith submitted as an accompauyiug document. 

EXECL'TIVK DEPARTMENT. 

1 he labors in the Execiitire Department have been greatly increased by the war, atid by th.' 
peculiar condition of the State Government for the last two years. The force which I have em- 
Ijloyed is small compared with the amount of work which has been done. Much respon.sihility han 
been devolved upon the Financial ami JNlilitary Secretaries, and their labors have been most 
arduous. Colonel William H. Schlater has performed the duties of Military Secretary for more 
than three years with marked ability and fidelity, and to the satisfaction of myself and the army. 
Captain George H. West and Captain John M. Commons have jierforined with efficiency ami to my 
entire satisfaction the labors appertaining to their desks. Colonel ,Iohn C. New, an able and 
i-Hic;eiit officer, has succeeded to the place held by Colonel Terrell, who has been appointed Adjutant 
G' licral, which office had been most able filled by General Laz Noble. 

ELECTIONS AND CONSPIRACIES. 

Wliile engaged in a civil war of gigantic proportions, a Presidential election has quietly taken 
place: its results have been peaceably and readily acquiesced in, and the bitterness and persona! 
animosities which are usually engendered in such a contest, have passed away as speedily and ));r- 
fectly as at any former period in our history. The ability of the peojile to come together tinder 
such" circumstances, and peaceably elect a Chief Magistrate, has been regarded alike by the friends 
and enemies of republican institutions as the great test of their capacity for self-government, and 
accordingly we find tliat the result of the late elections has made a profound impression throughout 
the old world, and has given renewed assurances of the perpetuity of our Governiuent. 

I congratulate you on the returning harmony of the people of our State, and that the dangers 
which threatened us with internal dissensions, have apparenlly passed away. Some misguided 
persons, who mistook the bitterness of party for patriotism, and ceased to feel the obligations of 
allegiance to our country and Government, conspired against the State and National Governments, 
and sought by military force to plunge us into the horrors of revolution. A secret organization 
had been formed, which by its lectures and rituals, inculcated doctrines subversive of the Govern- 
ment, ami which, carried to their consequences, would evidently result in the disruption of t)ic 
nation. The members of this organization were united by solemn oaths, which, if observed, bound 
them to execute the orders of their Grand Commanders without delay or question, however trea- 
sonable or criminal might be their character. 1 am glad to believe that the great majority of it.- 
mombers regarded it merely as a political machine, and did not suspect the ulterior treasonabJ,-

and oriminal designa. 

THE WAi:. 

We are in the midst of a blondy civil war, forced upon thc! (iuvernmi-nt by the rebellions inhabi- 
tants of certain States. The theory upon which this war was bejjnn, was tlio pretended right of a 
State to withdraw from the Union whenever its riglits muler the Constitution of tlie United States 
were violated, of which violation it had the exclusive powi-r to judge and determine. This claim 
was founded upon the dogma that the Union was a compact of sovereign and indeiiendent States, 
to which they were parties in their municipal character; that the United .states were not a nation, 
but an aggregation of nationalities united in a copartnership for certain i)Urposes, and upon certain 
coiiditiciiis, which were contained in the articles of copartnership known as the Federal Constitu- 
tion. The e.xercise of the right of secession, or withdrawal from the Union, was justified by the 
allegation that the people of the Northern States had violated their constitutional obligations by 
refusing to capture or permit to be captured in their midst, fugitive slaves escaping from their 
masters, and by various other acts of hostility to the institution of slavery; and by the furtliei- 
declaration that there was good reason to believe that the Government of the United States, under 
the administration of Jlr. Lincoln, would perform acts of violence subversive of the prosperity 
and even the existence of slavery. To have conceded the right claimed, and permitted any number of 
States peaceably to witlnlraw from the Union, would have involved not only the destruction of the 
Government, but the absolute dissolution of the nation, breaking it into as many fragments as 
there are States, each claiming sovereignty and independence as to all the others. When the war 
was begun, therefore, there was but one of two things for the Government to do — either to suppress 
the rebellion and assert its integrity as a nation, or to abdicate its authority and confess itself 
without right to enforce its decrees and perpetuate its existence, by conceding the want of national 
unity anil the right of secession. It must be admitted that between these two there was no middle 
ground, and the Government was forced at once to a choice between national life and national 
ileath, the life only to be preserved by the total suppression of the rebellion that menaced it. Be- 
tween these contending theories there could, in the nature of the case, be no compromise, as they 
were utterly antagonistic and irreconcilable. The rebellion was beguu upon an alleged right upon 
which it niust stand or fall, and was resisted by the Government upon the ground tliat its own life 
could not be preserved if the existence of this right were in any manner or to any extent conceded. 

It is hardly worth while to consider what would be our condition if this rebellion were success- 
ful. The most thoughtless or stupid mind cannot fail to perceive that the several States, fragments 
of a once powerful and happy republic, could not live together in prosperity and peace ; but that 
war following upon war, anarchy and the destruction of personal liberty, would inevitably result, 
to be succeeded by the night of despotism, burying in utter darkness the fair hopes and glorious 
prospects which once illuminated our national horizon. Whatever it may cost us to preserve the- 
I'Uion, we may be assured it will cost us everything to lose it. A refusal to prosecute the war, 
because it is expensive, would not be unlike the case of the man who should resolve to die because 
the employment of a physician would embarrass his financial affairs. Nor would it be less absurd 
to refuse to sustain the Government and prosecute the war upon the pretence that by so doing 
constitutional rights and personal liberty would be endangered, when we know perfectly well that 
if the rebellion succeeds, civil and religious liberty and constitutional rights, of whatever kind, 
will be overwhelmed in one common ruin. 

Let us hope that human slavery, which has ever been the source of national dissensions and heart 
burnings; which from the beginning has arrayed our people into classes, and fretted them into 
mutual hatreds, and for the preservation and prosperity of which it has been solemnly avowed that 
this mighty war and most bloody rebellion were begun and are prosecuted, has received its mortal 
wound, and will soon be consigned to the common grave of loathsome tyrannies, from which there 
is no resurrection. Should the Congress of the United States pass a joint resolution to jirohibit 
slavery, or involuntary servitude, throughout the U'nited States, I do most earnestly hope that the 
people of the several States will hasten to give it their solemn sanction, so that it may pass into 
our fundamental law, and go out to all the world that our country is in fact, as in name, "tlif 
land of the free " as well as " the home of the brave."

The restoration of peace and the consequent discharge from the service of the United States of the 
major part of the Volunteers of this State, since the adjournment of the General Assembly, render 
it proper that there should be a complete and thorough r<'visi(>n of the act for tho relief of the fam- 
ilies of soldiers, seamen and marines, and sick and wounded soldiers in hos])itals, approved 3Tarcb

has taken f;i'*'»l' paiiiis to prevont a diversity of artion in takinc; tlio enuini-ratinn contemplated by 
tlie act, I re'^ret to saj' liis efl'orts have nut been siiccesBlnl in pr(jeuring entire unifurniity. 'I'liere 
is also a want of uniformity of construction as to the persons entitled to receive the benefits of thu 
act, tlie local authorities in some counties, as I am infurnicd, holdiny, that the soldier's family must 
be reduced to a condition of absolute pauperism before they can receive the allowance provided for 
by the act, while in other counties relief has been aflbrded whenever the soldier's family was, in the 
language of the seventh section of the act, otherwise without "sufficient means for their comfort- 
able support," although they might possess some property or means. The latter is obviously tho 
proper construction, and it is greatly to be regretted that the act should not have been liberally 
construed in all parts of the State. There is also some uncertainty as to the time when the weekly 
allowance provided by the act shall commence, or from what time it shall be computed to those en- 
titled, although in my opinion the Auditor of State has properly decided that the allowance should 
commence from the date of the passage of the act. So far as it may be necessary to continue tho 
provisions of the act in force, I recommend tho adoption of such explanatory logislatiou as may bo 
necessary to remove existing ambiguities, .and to secure the benefits of the act to all those within 
its scope and spirit, and to prevent the illiberal construction before alluded to. The act contem- 
plates the levy and collection of a three mill tax on all taxable ])roperty and a poll tax of one dol- 
lar on each taxable poll for each of the years 1>S(J5 and 18'Jl). I respectfully suggest that under 
existing circumstances it will neither be necessary nor proper that these taxes shov.ld be levied or 
collected for the year IRiJG, believing that the levy for 18'J5, if properly disbursed, will bo suflicient 
to furnisli all the relief that the altered condition of the country demands. 

SOLDIER'S AND SE.\MKN'S HOME. 

I earnestly invite your attention to the necessity for the speedy establishment of an Institution 
in which Indiana soldiers and seamen, disabled by wounds or disease contracted in the service of 
the United States, shall be cared for and maintained during the continuance of the disabilities 
under which they are laboring. Justice, humanity, and tho honor of the State, forbid tliat these 
lirave men should be permitted to suftVr for the comforts of life, or he compelled to receive from the 
public such assistance as is accorded to ordinary paupers. 

On tho ITith day of May last, for the purpose of enlisting the sympathies of tho people in the es- 
tablishment of such an Institution, I issued an address, of which a copy is herewith respectfully 
submitted. In pursuance of tho invitation contained in this addre.ss, two successive meetings wi^re 
hold at Indianapolis, for the ptirpose of efft-cting a temporary organization of a Home for disabled 
Indiana soldiers and seamen, and to inaugurate a system for the collection of voluntary contribu- 
tions «uflicient to place it ultimately on a permanent foundation. 

At the second of these meetings, held on the 'J-lth day of May last, a temporary organization was 
effected, the basis of which will be seen by refen'nce to a copy of the proceedings of said meeting 
herewith respectfully submitted. 

Soon after, applications for relief on tho jiart of disabled soldiers were presented to the officers of 
the Association, and the Common Council of the City of Indianapolis generously tendered the gra- 
tuitous use of the City Hospital buildings to the managers of the Association for a temporary 
Home, which ofl'er was accepted, with the distinct understanding that its acceptance should not, in 
liny degree, influence the ultimate location of the Institution, should the ejrort to place it on a per- 
manent basis be successful. The temporary Home was opened on the seventh day of August last, 
and the absolute necessity for such an Institution is demonstrated by the fact that already forty -six 
disabled soldiers have been admitted into the Institution, twenty-one of whom, after remaining 
Home time and receiving the best care and medical treatnjent, have been discharged with the pros- 
pect of being sufficiently restored to enable them to take care for themselves, and one has di<>d, leav- 
ing twenty-four still to be cared for. Of the twenty-four still in the Institution, seventeen are 
totally disabled, either by old age, disease, or wounds received in battle. 

The funds received by the Treasurer of tho Home from voluntary contributions, amount in th.- 
aggregate to $4,!I94.5,'), in addition to which there are unpaid subscripticrns, the estimated amount 
of which will increase this to over S-20,000 It is to be feared that the Institution cannot be placed 
upon a pi'rmanent foundation by voluntary contributions, and in view of this, i submit th- 
entire subject to the General Assembly, and respectfully, but earnestly recommend that prompt 
measures bn taken to secure the object in view, feeling assured that it will commend itself to your 
judgment and sympathies. 

The U. S. General Hospital, at Jeffersonville, is one of the most complete establishments of the 
kind in the coutitry. and is well adapted to the purposes of a Soldier's Home. I have written to 
the Setri'tary of War and Surgeon General for itiformation, as to whether the Government would 
be willing to turn over this Hospital to the State of Indiana, to be used in the establishment of 
such an Institution, should the State desire it. The nuswor when received will be conimunicated 
to the General .Assembly.

MORGAN RAID. 

1 again respectfully invite the attention of the General Assembly to the damageH occasioned to 
some of our citizens, by the invasion of the State by ,Tohn Morgan, in IStV.i. I have seen no cause 
for changing the views expressed on this subject in my regular message delivered at the commence- 
ment of your last session, and therefore repeat the recommendation therein made. 

INDIANA TROOPS. 

The part Indiana has taken in the war for the suppression of the rebellion, is a matter upon which 
the citizens of the State may justly pride themselves. 

In the number of troops furnishi'd, and in the amount of voluntary contributions rendered, 
Indiana, in i)roportiou to her jiopulation and wealth, stands equal to any of her sister States. It 
is also a subject of gratitude and thankfulness that, whilst the number of troops furnished by Indi- 
ana alone in this great contest would have done credit to afiist class nation, measured by the stand- 
ard of previous wars, not a single regiment, battery, or battalion from this State has brought re- 
proach upon the national flag, and no disaster of tlie war can be ti'aced to any want of fidelity, 
couiage, or efficiency on the part of any Indiana officer. 

The endurance, heroism, intelligtmce, au<l skill of the officers and soldiers seut forth by Indiana 
to do battle for the Union, have slicd a lustre on our beloved State of which any people might just -

into active servici- to repel r(diel raiils au'l ilefend our si>uthern border from invasion; all of which 
will be fully shown in the otlicial report of the Adjutant General, now in course of preparation for 
publication. 

Since the end of the war, all the Indianti troop.s have been mustered out of service e.vcept eighteen 
regiments of infantry, and three re,;;inieuts of i-avalry. Every elTort consistent with the interests 
of tlie Government has been made by the Kxecutive i)epavtment of the State to i)rocure tho early 
muster out of these remaining Indiana regiments, and assurances liave been receiverl that orders 
for their discharge will he issued as soon as their services can be dispeuseil with. Kor otiier inter- 
esting: details relating to our troops you are respectly referred to a communicaton from the Ad- 
jutant General herewith submitted. 

UKOUGANIZATIOX. 

Since the adjor.rnment of the Legislature llio civil war whicli had d(^soIated our country has ter- 
minated ill the complete triumph of the Government and the suppression of the rebidliou. The 
evacuation of liichmond, and the capitulation of Lee's army, wero rajiidly followed by tho surren- 
der of every other rebel army in the fiidd, and irregular guerrilla warfare almost entirely passed 
away in a few weeks. The supiiression of the rebellion and the subjugation of armed rebels seems 
to be complete, while every rebel State has confessed to the irii'trievable destruction of the institu- 
tion of slavery. Tho people of the South have been beaten and overpowered in tho field ; they have 
wholly lost their property in slaves ; much of their country has been overran and made desolate 
by the inarch and ravage of great armies ; poverty and wretchedness have be<'n brought home to 
large classes who before had liveil in wealth and luxury ; large numbers of their population have 
perished in the conflict, and there is prevailing among them great exasperation and bitterness which 
time alone can assuage. 

Tlie great majority, however, appear to regard the verdict of the war as irreversible, and to 
promptly accept t)ie situation as one they cannot modify or put aside. But while the heresy of 
State sovereignty has been extirpated, and the questions involved in the conflict settled by the arbi- 
trament of arms, it is yet of the greatest importance to the nation that these questions be adjudi- 
cated and determined by the highest judicial tribunal, which might most appropriately be done in 
the trial, for high treason and other atrocious crimes, of the chief instigator and head of this most 
wicked and blooily rebellion. It should be definitively establislied as a principle in our Constitu- 
tion, both by judicial decision and example of punishment, that rebellion is treason, that iraison 
is a crime whicli may not be committed with impunity; and that there is but one sovereignty, 
which resides iu tho collective and undivided people of the United States. 

The work of reorganizing tho Governments of the rebel States, and bringing them again into 
practical relations with the Government and people of the United Stales, is now ujion the country, 
and demands for its successful performance the greatest wisdom, patience, and forbearance. 

But while it is important tliat tho work of reorganization shall not be unnecessarily delayed, it 
it is more important that it shall proceed upon sound principles, which will furnish guarantees fur 
the future integrity and peace of the Ilepublic. The principal discussions which arise on this sub- 
ject pertain to the future status of the negro in the Southern States. By some it is urged that con- 
ferring suffrage upon him shall be made a condition of reorganization, or in other words that the 
States lately in rebellion shall not be permitted to resume their practical relations with the Govern- 
ment, except uptm the terms of first conferring the rights of suffrage upon their freedmen. .\s to 
the manner in which tliis measure shall be accomplished, the friends of it dilfer. Some are in fa- 
vor of persistently excluding the members of Congress from the Southern States, until negro suf- 
frage has been incorporated into their several State Constitutions. Others assume that the States 
lately in rebellion are no longer members of the Union, but have forfeited and lost their character 
as States, and are in fact held as conquered provinces, and, like unorganized territories which may 
have been acquired by the Government, are under the complete control and jurisdiction of Congres.s, 
which may cuufer sulTrage upon whomsoever it pleases. 

The subject of suffrage is, by the national Constitution, expressly referreil to the determination 
of the several States, and it can not be taken from them without a violation of the letter and spirit 
of that instrument. 

But without stopping to discuss theories or questions of Constitutional law. and leaving them out 
of view, it would, in my opinion, be unwise to make the work of reconstruction depend upon a con- 
dition of such doubtful utility as negro sulfrage. 

It is a fact so manifest, that it should not be called in question by any, that a people who are just 
emerging from tho barberism of slavery are not ijualified to become a part of our political system, 
and take part, not only in the governmeut of themselves and their neighbors, but of the whole 
I'uited States. So far from believing that negro sutfrage is a remedy for all of our national ills, I 
doubt whether it is a remedy for any, and rather beli(^ve that its enforcement by Congress would be 
more likely to subject the negro to a mercihnss persecution, than to confer upon liim any substantial 
benefit. By some it is thouglit that sulfrage is already cheap enough in this country ; and the im- 
mediate transfer of more than half a million of men from the bonds of slavery, with all the ignorance 
and degradation upon them which tho slavery of generations upon southern fields has produced, 
would be a declaration to the world that the exercise of American suffrage involvc'S no intellectual 
or moral qualilications, ami that there is no difference between an American freeman and un 
American slave, which may not bo removed by a mere act of Congress. What is far more import- 
ant to the freedmen than sutfage, is that their several States shall give them tho right to testify in 
courts of justice, afford to them the ordinary judicial machinery for tho protection of their civil 
rights, provide for their education, and thus enable them to qualify themselves for tho higher polit- 
ical duties of the citizen. It is not less vital to their interests, that the Constitutional Amendment 
be adopted, which not only forever prohibits slavery throughout tin; nation, but confers upon 
Congress the power of bgislating for the protection of their liberty and civil rights; and these 
things, among others, the President of the United States has imposed as precedent conditions in tho 
work of reorganization, and has declared his purpose to hold and govern th<'se States by military 
authority, as iu a state of war, until they have beeu complied with. Time, and tlie influence of tho

changes cannot.. 'I'lie inevitalde ('I'l'si'Mcn of both races upon the same soil, the demands and iieeen- 
sities of capital and labor, and the nnavoidable community of interest, will, iu process of time, I 
cannot doubt, force a reciprocity of rijj;hts and privileges. The institution of slavery was so 
closely intertwined about the for.ndation of society in the Southern States that when it was 
destroyed, society was uprooted and broken to pieces. The i)roces8 of its reconstruction is but 
besiinninj;, but it is vi^ry certain that the new structure will differ, in most essential ))articulars, 
from the old. Free labor, free speech, and free scliools, will come into it as now and powerfr.l ele- 
ments of change and progress, and large immigration from the Northern Slati'S and Irom Europe, 
bringing commerce, manufactures and improved agriculture, will exert a mollifying and beiu'ficial 
influence, the effect of which can hardly be overestimated. 

Another amendment, not only conducive to tlie interests of the freedraen, but demanded by the 
idglits and interc'sts of the white people of the North, should be made, changing the basis of rej're- 
7>entation in Congress and the apportionment of political power among the several States. The 
present provision iu the Constitution of the United States concerning this, reads as follows: 
•' Representativi-s and direct taxes shall be apportioned among the several States, which may be 
inclurled within this Union, by adding to the number of free persons, including those that may be 
bound to service for a term of years, and excluding Indians not taxed, (hrev-fiflhs of all other per- 
sons,'' the phrase three-fifths of all other persons was a periphrastic description of the slave po- 
pulaticn. and gave representation for three-fifths of their number. By the abolition of slavery 
this population is added to the " number of tree jiersons," and thus increases the basis of repre- 
sentation by the addition of two-fifths. 

The ine(|u:ility produced between tlie several States by this form of representation, is too palpable 
to :e(iuire argnnn'iit. l!y its operation, eight millions of white jieople in the Southern States, hold, 
and exercise political power, full sixty jier cent, greater than an eijual number of white peop!" in 
the Northern States, by reason of having in their midst four ami a half millions of negroes. This 
provision was the chief compromise whicli our fathers made with the institution of slavery, and 
although through a sense of its great injustice, it has been impatiently acquiesced in by tlie nortliern 
ic'ople, yet it has been carried out in good faith ; but now that shivery, the foundation of this com- 
promise, has passed away, the provision shouM be so changed as to suit the altered condition of tlie 
country, and do justice to every jiart of the nation. If it were so aiueniled as to apportion repri-- 
sentation and political jiower among the several States according to the' actual i.uinber of male 
voters over the age of twenty-one years, it would be iTjually fair for all, and would put it out of the 
power of the people of any State, or class of States, to increase or double tln-ir piditical power by 
the presence! in their midst of a population which they themselves dejirive of all jiolitical rights; and 
thus an imluccment would be presented to the several States, in order to enliirge their |)Ower in the 
government, to confer inditical rights upon every class of persons, without regard to color (.r 
nationality, as rapidly as might be deemed consistent with tlieir true interests. 

By the c<'nsusof ISiiU, the lilteen slave Slati'S were allowed eighty -four members of Congress, because 
of the representation ot three-fifths of their slaves, and now that the slaves are made free, and the 
uther tww-liftlis added to their basis of representation, tiiey would be entitled to fourteen members 
more, altbough perhaps in point of law this increase cannot take place anterior to the year 1S70. 
If the negro iio|iulation was equally diffused throughout all the States, this ineijuality would not 
exist, but the fact is, it is not so ditVused, and the probability is that the concentration in the 
SiMithern States will become greater from year to year by the emigr.ation thither of the cidored poji- 
ulation ui tIc' North. Acc-ording to the census of ISiiO, the Southern States upon a ivkite basis would 
have been entitled to sixty-six members of Congress, instead of eighty-four according to the existing 
basis. 

Whatever ojipiisitiou there may be to the adoption of this proposed aniondm"nt, it amounts, 
when stripped of its covei-ings and sophistries, simply to this: that the white jieople of the South 
shall continue to exercise in the future, as in the past, sixty per cent, more of political power in tin- 
National (Jovernment, than an ei|ual numlier of white [leople in the Nortli, and for this great ine- 
ijuality and injnstii-e I am wholly unible to percive any good or suHicient reason. 

Should such an amendment be p:issed by the re(|uisito majorities tlu'ough the Congress of the United 
States, before your final adjioirnncnt, 1 would most respectfully, but earnestly, recommend its 
immediate ralilication on your part. 

In conclusion upon this subject, I am not nf the o]iinion that the Herculean work of reconstruc- 
tion will be accomplished at on" time, by any general and sweeping process, but that it will proceeil 
State by State, as ciKli one shall conform to the reiinirements of the Government, and show itself 
loyal and prepared to resume its practical relations in the Union. The conditions which have been 
imposed uiiou these States by the I'resideiit, are not only reasonable and legitimate, but are dictated 
by justice and a wise foresight for the future of tl.e liepublic, ami although they may not be 
accepted this year, or even the next, yet thai they ultimately will be I have no doubt. And if the 
work of reorganiZiiticMi shall li" successfully coni]deted within the same period which was required 
to put duwn the rebellion, it will W within" tin' limit nf my expectation;;. 

CONCLUSION. 

The war has estaldislii'il upon im]e'riNlialde fiindations, tic great fundamental truth of the unity 
and indivisibility of the nalion. We are many States but one people, having one undivicd sover- 
eignty, one Hag, and one ccunnion destiny. It has also established, to be confessed by ail the world, 
the exalted character of the ..\ merican Soldier, liis matchless valor, his self-sacrificing patriotism, 
his capacily to endure fatigues and hardships, and his humanity, which in the midst of carnage has 
wreathed his victorious achieveiuents w'ith a brighter glory. 

Ife has tanglit the world a lesson befon; wliidi it stands in ania/.ement, how, when the storm of 
battle had passed, he couh! lay aside his e.rms, jiut off the habilliinents of war, and return with 
cheerfulness to the gentle ijursuits of peace, ,uid sliuw how the bravest of soldiers could become the 
best of citizens. 

To the Army and Navy, under the favor of Providence, we owe the preservation of our country, 
.■ind the fact lliat we have to-day a place, and the proudest place, among the nations. 

Let it not be said of us, as it was said in oldeu time, that " Republics are ungrateful." Let us 
honor the di'ad, cherish the living, and preserve in immortal memory tlse deeds and virtues of all, 
i-.t ail inspiration fur countless generations to come.

fully reeotiitnend that provision be made for the continuing of the Agency at Washington City, and 
"or placing it on a permanent basis. The wauts of our ilischarged soldiers, and the families of sueU

ADJUTANT GENI5RAL'"s REi^O-RT,. 



ADJUTANT GENERAL'S IlEPORT. 

TliC ollicc (if Adjntunt Ge!u".iil lias been well and ably admiiiistercil by Goiipral TevrciT. Tiio 
iieport which he is iiubli.siiing will cotii^ist of oigbt bvrge v»lurnea, of v<b,ich six have bci ii already 
issued, and will be invaluable as a history of tlie ofiicers and soldiers of Indiana during tlu' late 
rebellion. It is intended to Rive the name and military history of every oflieer and soldier wiio 
went into tho army from this Statu, and thus furnish a pub-fic record of the servize ami" honorable 
discharge of every ij;ooil soldier, and fix the status of every deserter and of every man who was dis- 
missed or punished for cowardice or crime. The val»e of the record Virill increase with years, and 
will bo held sacred by conjing generationo, to whom It will perpetuate the honorable deeds of their 
ancestors; and it is to be regretted that tho Legislature did BOt in-ake pro.visioiis to. have tho work: 
sterreotypi'dand the pliites purcbjised and held by the State. From tiiose v»ho luive compared if. 
with the reports from other States, I am assured that it v^ill bo found to be more complete in its 
information and perfect in its .arrangeuKMit than any similar work, an.l General Terr<'U is certainl;'. 
entitled, to great credit tor the ability, care and industry displa.yed in its preparatioa. 

QUARTERMASTEIJ GENERAL'S DEPARTMENT. 

The State reeeivcd from the General Government at various- times during tho war for the use oi^ 
the Indiana Legion (il,o7'2) f&rty-one thousand tivn hundred and seven-ty-tvuo pieces of small arms,, 
and twenty-one pieces of artillery, with carriages, caissoUH, and eiiuip<«euts, all of which wertv 
charged to the Stat<?, and required to be accounted for. 

The rei^ort of tlie State Quiirtermaater, Geuoval Stone, sliows that (41,212) forty-one thousand two- 
hundred and twelve guns have been returned to the proper United States ordnance 4>tlicers at this 
point, and (0.3.(1) live hundred aiid thirty guns lost and destroyed in the service have been accounted 
for by proper atiidavit!?, making a total of (-11,742) forty-one thousand seven hundred and forty-two 
guns accounted for to tlie General Governiaent, and that all tho artillery, caissons an<i equipments 
liave been returned. This leaves the State clear of all liability on, tho score of arms for the use of 
the militia, and tho account has been closed, v/hich is a most desirable result. 

General Stoiie's report is lengthy, and gives a comprehensive statement of tho operations. of the 
(Quartermaster's Department from the time of his appointment. Tie Department has been a large 
an-d cumbrous macliine, but luw been nianaged with great fidelity, ability and success, for wliicb. 
General Stone is well entitled to the thanks of the StsUe. Uis position has been one of great 
resiMjnsibility and lalior, and its' duties have been performed to ray entire satisfastioa. Your- 
attention is especially invited to the interestlsig details in- his report. 

PAYMASTER GENERAL'S REPORT. 

The report of Major Stearns Fislser, Payntaster of Indiana Legion, sho^^'s that about fifty thou- 
sand men have received pay for military seirvico in repel'ling rebel raids and guarding against 
invasion. 

The whole amount of money disbursed by him for military service amonr>ts to five l\-lTndr-e^l and 
si.xty-six thousand three hundred and ninety dollars and twenty-eiglit cents (S;oU(i,;390 28). There 
still remain unpaid claims allowed by th-o Auditing Corc-raittee araoiin-ting to over thirty-three 
thousand dollars, which are b'dng paid as fast as presented. And there are also claims, apparently 
just, amounting to twenty-five or thirty thoiSMand dollars, which have been presented since tlie 
Auditing Committee was abolished, but cannot be paid until an appropriation is made for ihaS 
purpose. Although the amount of money disbursed is not very large comparatively, yet it lia-^ 
been paid out in small sums anil the business has been complex, involving a great number of 
aceouuts, and has been ably and' faithfully performed by Major Fisher. 

COLONEL WILLIAM H. SCHL.STER. 

Colonel William. H. Schlater lias acted as my Military Secretary, excevit during the time that hc- 
v.-.as in the field, from the beginning of the war. 'Us ability for the correct and rayid dispatch of 
business as a Secri'tary, is without a stiperior, and his accurate recollection of names, dates, and. 
minute circumstances connected with the organi'/.ation of the arm}', rendered his services most 
valuable. Our relations have 'oeeu most agreeable, anil it alTords mo pleasure to iiia!-;e this pulilit 
ack.no wledgtneat. 

MILITARY AGENCIES. 

Tlie military agencies in this eity and in Wasliingtou- for She p-rosec«.tiO!>- and collection, free of 
ctuirg'-^, of bounties, buck jiay and jiensions, Aw to soldiers and soldiers' widows and orphans, have 
been keijt in operation, and have transacted a large amount of business and rendered great service 
to those who are paorly able tu- p;v.y for it. The repoit of William llannasian, Esq., gives a full 
statement of the transactions of the two agencies, and contains matter and suggestions of much 
interest and importanee. In my opinion the agencies ought to be niaint;\;-ned and their sjihere oi 
u.-efulness enlarged by aiiproi>riate legislation. 

SOLDIERS' AND SEAMEN'S HO'MK. 

\Micu the war endeil and oiu' a.n!jies were musteved out of tlic service, e,jid hospitals broken up^ 
there were many gallant soldiers who were disabled by wounds and iliseases coatructed in the 
service from making their own living, and taking care of themselves. JIaiiy of tb.-ni were without 
homes and without friends, who must either p.'isa into "the common poor hauscs of tbo country a?, 
paupers, bo subsisted by private charity, or provided for by the State. The support furnished by: 
p-rivate charity would be precarious and uivcertaia, and justice, humanity, and the honor of the 
Stale fiu'bade that these men should suifer for the comforts of life, or find that the poor-house and 
tUe society of paupers should be the end and reward of their cani.paigns, in which they had sacri- 
liced their health and capacity to provide for themselves. The State had called them to the field, 
and they had nobly responded by abandoning tbei? occupaSioc-s, leaving behind them family, friends, 
tlie comforts and pleasures of life, and entered the army to fight for a cause in which they had no. 
greater interest than, those who reniiiiued at home I'o pursue tiieir avocations and live qtuiotly and 
safely with their families and frii'uds.. 

It was not charity, it was not benevolence, on the part of tlio people or the State to make liberal' 
and generous provision- for these men, but it 'was a duty than which none could be higher or more- 
sacred. Accordingly,, to meet imnu'diate demands for relief, and to inaugurate a measure iinpera- 
tively demanded by humanity and the strongest obligations, on the loth day of May, 18o5,_I issueii 
an address for the purpose of enlisting the sympathies of the people in establishing a Soldiers' auG^. 
Seamen's Home, and in pursuatiee of the invitation coataiiu'd in it, two.su.ccesslv.o meetiags W-e!;o- 



STATISTICS ANI) IX>CD"MENTS-. S29 

?i<-M at InfJiiiiiapoli.-' fur tho purpose of (»fri'(-ting a tciiiporary orsiini/.alidn of a Ucmio for Disablcii' 
Indiana SuMii-rs uiiil Seamen, ami to institute a system for the collection of voluntary coutriburionA- 
sullicient ultimately to place it on a permuueut foundation. 

At the second of these meetings, held on the 2+th of May, ISCI, a temporaiy orfranization was 
••ft'ectcd, the basis of which wiiS be seen l>y reference to a copy of the proeeedings of saiil ineetins 
lierewith respectfully submitted. Tlie temporary Home was opened in the rity hospital bnildin;; at 
Indianapolis, on the 27th day of Airgust, ISiiS, and ijp to tlie ;;Oth day of November, ISiii;, the nuni- 
U-r of men admitted was 224. Of this number 13i have been dischargi'd, fourteen have died, and 
seventy-six remain in the Home. Early last spring tho Board of Directors i)urehased the property 
known as the " Koijrhtstown .Springs," in Rush conuty, at a cost of ?8,5()0, to which place the Homtv 
was removed on the 2i;th day of April. The total expense of maintaining tlie Hon>o from the time it 
■was opened until the aOth of NoveuilA^r last, not including the cost of purchase, is Sl7,tH'0' 84. Tins- 
includes the salaries of ortlcers. If we add to the above stim the cost of purcliase, it T/iU make tho 
sum of S25,5U0 S4, all of which has been- niised by private contribution. 

I herewith submit tho report of Dr. Wisbard, the excellent and successful Superintendent of tho 
iustitution, aixl quote from it the following e.\tract, as descriptive of the property which has beeii- 
l>nrch-aged : 

''The farm consists of fifty-four (-54) acres of excellent land, thirty-five (35) of v?hich are under 
c?iltivatiou — the balance a beautiful grove of forest timber. The buildings are large and commo- 
dious, affording 2.mple room for about one hundrwl patients. They were, however, mueli -iilapidated' 
and out of repair, bivt liave been repaired untiV they are now very comfortaWi'. Some additions- 
have also been made in tlve way of hospital buildings, which are of great advantage in tSie treatment 
c.f the sick and wouuded " 

As lingering woundB, disease and old ag-> do their work, the number of men to be cayerl for must 
Mrgely increase for some years, and the (luestioa is presented, in wliat manner Hie institution shall 
be maintained ? 

Thu.'i far it lias been built up and supported by private contribution, resulting from the labor of ;v 
r.'-*i men, but it cannot l"e kept in ofieration longer in this way. The obligation to support our 
tVisabled veterans rests equally upon all, while the number of persons who give i)y private contribu- 
tion.s is small, and they are already tired aud de»and that the burden slvall be made to fall upon all 
the people according ta their '-apacity to pay. That this demand is just and patrioti-c, I will not 
fnrther argtse, aud earnestly recommend that committees be appointed to investigate and examine 
into the character of the institutiau, and upon their report, if satisfactory, it bo adopted by tho 
Slate, and appropriations made to carry it on for the next two years. 

The National Government has made arrangements for the establishment and maintenance of 
Soldiers' and Seamen's Homes in several of the States, and it is quite possible that these institutions 
when established will have capacity to receive and aecommodate all, including di-sabled soldiers anci' 
Beamen of Indiana. 

When this comes to pass, it will not be necessary to continue out Homo, as such, longer, and thiv 
tine property where it is located can doubtless be turued to sorao other humaut! purpose. But until' 
that occurs, it is, iu my judgment, the duty of the State to adopt the Home and make appropria- 
tions fof its support. 

It would not be just to pass from this subject without stating the fact that the general manage- 
ment and supervision of the Soldiers' Home, sin-ce its first organisation, has been ander the care- 
and direction of William Hannaman, Esq.; hia heart has been iu his work, aud he has given to il 
unremitting atteation, and much of its success has resulted from his labo-r. 

THE SULDIER'S ORrHAN. 

The soldier's orphan has not been provided for. From a return made by County Auditors, to iv 
tircuhsr addressed to them by Mr. Hannaman, it is esti;u«.ted that there are iu the State two 
thoijsand and seventy'orphans, whose fathers have perished in tho army, and a number of whom are 
now in the county poorhoiiaes. Their natural protector.s and- guardians, by whose labor they were 
to be suTjported and ed'ucated, have diotl in the service of their country. Many of these orphans 
»ro left ill destitute and helj)less circumstances, withoat relatives or friends who are able or willing 
to give them training oreducation. Are they not the wards of t'fle State ? Is it not the duty of the 
State, dictated alike by justice, humanity, and the sacrifice made by their dead fathers, to step for- 
ward, as far as possible, take tho father's place in giving these orphans protection and a sufficient 
education to fit them for useful and honorable members of society ? Can the proposition be 
stre7tgthened by argument? Does net the bare statemiait of it carry conviction to the mind and 
teuch the heart of every patriotic man ? The way and manner in which this ean bs accomplished.. 
is a i><oper su-l)jeet for- legislative research and discovery. But it has been suggested that if tho 
Heneral Government shall finally provide for our disabled soldiers and seamen, that tlie beautiful" 
jrroperty near Knightstown might bo converted iato a " Soldiers' Orphans' Horao."' 

CEJTETERIES AND MONUMENTS. 

The report of Colonel James Blake, who was appointed Coniiaission<»r to rrpoesent Jndiana on tlio 
-Board of JIanagers of tho Gettysrurg Cemetery, contains a lull history of the Cemetery, its con- 
ilition. the amount of r:>oncy required to finish it. aud tho proportion due from Iinliana. 

Papers will also 1r' laid befare you in relation to the Cemetery at .'rntietam, aud asking a smalS 
appropriation to defray so much of the expense as falls to Indiana in the general arrangement. 

'i'he Board of Trustees of Crown Hill Cemetery, situated about two niilis from this city, donateit 
!i sufficient and b<'antifi>l part of the Cemetery for the burial of Union soldiers who- died in thiv- 
camps and hospitals at this p/'lac^", and saeh as might be brought from elsewhere. The Government 
w-f the United States, represented by General Ekin, accepted the donation, and agreed to pay tho 
Crown Hill Cemetery Association tlw suhi of five thousand dollars, to be expended in the improve-- 
nient of the groa-nds, and the dead have already been re-moved from the places where Jhey were first 
iaid and buried, te> the new Cenwtery. 

In this Cemetery there is a high hill, quite overlooking tho city, and I recommend that upon thi.?- 
!»ill the State erect a monument in memory of her brave soldiers who perishsd in the rebellion. We 
can not pay too mucli honor to the memory of the men who died for their country. This monu- 
ment, overlooking all the country around, would be tho first object to greet the eye of tiie traveler- 
as he approaches the capital, and iu the language of the great Webster, when he laid the corner- 
stone of the Bunker Hill Monument at Boston : " Let it rise ! let it rise ! till it meets tho sun iii-

KKCONSTKL'CTION AND CWNSTITUTIOXAL AMENDMENT. 

Th(! people of tlie North have not beeij animated by a fspirit of resentment and revenue itj their 
<lralitjgs with the Soutli since the coaclusion of tlie rebellion. On the contrarj", they have eartiest- 
ly lioped that the people of the South *?ouId kiodly and 8iii<;erely accept tlie situation, and co-ope- 
rate •witli them ia the settlencent of our national difficuftics upon a permanent, ba^is ; and hftd the 
r^outhern people met theja in this spirit, adjusted their constitutions and lavs to the new order of 
things— rendered justi'Ce and given equal jirotection to all her citicena, confisc^ation, disfraochise- 
nient, and punisliraent, would scarcely have been demanded. When, upon tlie surrender of 'Lee"s 
array, General Grant gave absolution to the Confederate officers and soldiers, upon the sole condi- 
tion of not again bearing arms against the Kepublio, the nation ac-quiesced in bis conduct almost 
without a murmur ; and when all the rebel forces laid down their arms, and the war was at an end, 
the misfortunes of the South, the fallen and prostrate condition of the people, inspired in the 
Nortk feelings aniouuting almost to compassion and forgiveness. At the time, the South declared 
full srabinission, asked for lenieni terms, but claimed no rights, and dictated no conditions. But 
since then, the temper of her people seems to have undergone a radical change. They hav passed 
from submission to defiance, and the mercy which was extended to them has been requited iu 
bloody perseeuti«ins upon the Union men and negro population in their midst. Their course has 
had its natural and inevitable effwet upon the public mind of the North, which is rapidly passing 
from mercy an(C forgiveness to the stern demands of justice, and the exaction of the penaJties for 
treasoJi. The logic of eveets againet which the arguments of the statesman weigh not, moulds tlie 
public mind, and sweeps it on rapidly from cosifusion t<s conclusion. The irajxjseihle of yesterday 
is the possible of to-day, and the radicalism of to-day becomes the conservatism of to-morrow. 

The patriotic and loyal members ef Congress who voted for the "Winter Davis Bill," in 18(;4, 
would stand aghast before it as a scheme of reconstruction in ISfili. It was then thought the wisest 
thing to be done, but we can now see, in the light of two years' experience, how fatal it would have 
bi'en to the Nation. It was manifest, from the beginning, that no scheme of reconstruction could 
iia, or ought to be, accepted by the people of the North, v/hich did not involve the equalizing of rep- 
resentation in Congress and the Eleeteral College. The people of the North could not ciinsent, 
(iionorably t« tkemselves, nor witliout a disregard to the principles of Kepttblican governmeiot, that 
those lately in rebellion should retura to their places in the Governnaent and retain in perpetuity 
the right to represent four millions of colored people whom they deprive of all political rights, 
^.vliich would give to tfeeju, after 1870, at least thirty votes in the Electoral College and in the House 
'if Representatives. Slionld the Southern States be [lermitted to return vithout the rectification of 
this great wx-ong, it would constitute a source of constaKtJy increasing dissatisfaction in the North — 
would be regarded as au intolerable biarden, and would dangerously threaten the future fieace of 
■the country. 

I have received from t'ke Secretary of State of the Ucited States an official copy of a joist resolu- 
ttion passed by Congrese at the late sessioa, two-thirds <3f each House concurring, proposing to the 
States ac amendment to tke CoKstituti«ii of the United States, wh.ich I herewith submit to your 
■consideration. 

The first clause of the amendment establishes the great fact that all persons born in tfce United 
States are subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citLiaens of the United States, and of the State 
wherein they reside, and that no State shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the 
United States, or deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law, or 
•deny to a«y person within its jarisdictioE the equal protection of the laws. 

The second claisse establishes equality of representation in the lower House of Congress and in 
ithe Electoral College. Uy excluding frona the basis of rej.;resentation any race or class of people who 
;ire deprived of the right of suffrage, and thus takes away from all the States the right to have rep- 
resentatioti for the colored people in their lEidst, unless they first give to them the right ef suffrage. 
;[t proceeds upon the principle tliat whiie people do not have their political rights enlarged by 
reason of having in tlieir midst a colored population whom they deprive of all political rights; 
'Ujion the principle that people who are Kot good enough to have repi-esentation for themselves are 
Jiot good enough to give it to others ; upen the princiyie that people who are not quali£ed to vote 
themselves are not qBalified to duplicate the voting power of others. 

The third clause declares ineligible to any National or State office any person who, hailing once 
taken an.elficial oath to support the Constitution of the United States, afterwards committed per- 
jury by g<iing into the re-bellion. This v/ill tend to laake treason edious by excluding £rom office 
the perjured politicians and political paupers who brought on the wair. 

The fourth clause declares the validity of the public clebt, forever forbids the assumptitsn or pay- 
■aient of the rebel debt, and prohildts tke payment «:f any claim for the loss or emaucijiation of 
-■laves. The foKr clauses constitute one amendment, which was subcsitted to the people of Indiana 
for their approval o-r rejection at the late election. 

It estK/blishes the great principle of national unity and citizenship, equality of representation, 
■disability for treason, the go«d faith of the nation to her creditors, acd guards the nation in future 
times against the corruptions of the relse.! delit. It is of inestimable value to the country, and can 
Slot be safely substituted by mere legislatisu which ia liable to repeal or destrustion at the hands of 
.the Supreme Court. 

The cardinal prieciples of reconstruction should be planted in the Constitution, whence tbey can 
be uprooted only by the same process by .u'liich they v/ere established. No public measure was ever 
more fully discussed before the people, better understood by them, or received a more distiiict and 
intelligent approval. I will enter iotooo argument in its behalf before this General Assembly. 
Eve.y member of it understands it, and is pri'pared, I doubt not, to give his vote for or against, on 
the question of ratification. I venture, however, to recommend that you give to it your speedy 
consideration, and hope that its ratification will soon be published to the world as a declaration of 
.the spirit and purpose of the people of Indiana. 

'But what if the Southern people reject tlie amendKient? But what if they continue this reign 
-jf terror, this flagrant disregard of libel ty and life? Do they imagine that the North will recede, 
•or tliat affiiirs will be allowed to remain as they are? These things are impossible. A quarter of a 
■million of lives have been lost, billions of money wasted, the tears of the widow and orphan are 
frlowiiig, the shrieks of the murdered freedmen are heard. Union men are flying for their lives, and 
Ciov; the blood .cf .the uatiicuj ia up, and .the cry for vec^eanre is abroad iu the lajid. 1-el the people

The i-oiistitutioiial provision declarin;j; th;it tho United States shall guarantee to larh State a 
rppublican form of government, was not intended to furnish merely a paper guaranty, but anthor- 
i/.L'd the government of tlie United States to interfere in a certain contingency, with the government 
of a State. The guaranty i.s to be made by the United States — that !.■?, by the government of the 
United States, which is not the President or Congress, but both together, and must, therefore, be a 
legislative act. 

Tlie President could not establish a State government and accej)! it finally as loyal and republicati 
in its form, and legal and complete in its structure without assuming that he is the government of 
the United States, which would manifestly be absurd. 

What the extent of this power is has never been settled by any precedent ; and has not been de- 
tined by Kent, Story, or any of our writers on Constitutional law. It is a vast undefined power, 
given to the United States to guard the States against revolution, anarchy or change to monarchical 
or aristocratic government. If a State government has been destroyi'd by rebellion, the United 
States must set up or re-establish a republican form of government. If a State government should 
be convertetl into an aristocracy the United States must restore it to a republican f<u-m. How, or 
in what manner this shall be done is not marked out by the Constitution, and must, therefore, as 
far as we can judge, depend upon the circumstances of each case. 

The government is armed with supervisory power to keep the States in their orbits by maintain- 
ing within them republican governments, and the measure of power must, therefore, be the extent 
of the means necessary to accomplish the purpose. 

It is a well reC' gnizeil principle of Constitutional law, that where a duty is enjoined, all t!ie 
jHiwers necessary to the performance of the duty are includi-d. 

Where a certain demand is made by the Ciinstitution the means accessary to produce the result 
must be inferred, else the demand would be nugatory. 

The only measure, therefore, we can give to this power is that it embraces whatever may be truly 
necessary to guarantee to each State a lepublican form of government. If a State government falls 
into anarchy, the United States must re-establish it upon a republican basis; and must be hehl to 
have the right to employ whatever instrumentalities are necessary for that purjiose. 

Ordinarily, and when the country is in a normal condition, the suliject of suffrage is in the con- 
trol absolutely of the several States, and has been so treated from the lirst formation of the Govern- 
ment, and may be regarded clearly as one of the reserved rights of the States. But, if a State 
government shall fall into anarchy, or be destroyed by rebellion, and it is lound clearly and unmis- 
takably, that a loyal new one can not be erected and successfully maintained without conferring 
upon a race or body of men the right of suffrage, to whom it has been denied by the laws of the 
State, it would clearly be within the power of Congress to confer it for that purpose, upon the 
jirinciple that it can employ the means necessary to the performance of a required duty. 

Not that Congress could make a Constitution for a State, in which the right of sufi'rage should be 
fixed, but that it could call a Convention to form a new Constitution and establish a new govern- 
ment, mill prescribe the qualifications of those who should vote for the members of that convention 
and participate in the organization of the new government. 

The power which I claim for Congress is vast and dangerous, and should be exercised with delib- 
eration, and only in case of clear necessity, as it trenches directly upon the general theory and 
structure of the Government, yet it unquestionably exists. 

If, when other remedies have failed, it be the clear and deliberate judgment of Congress that loyal 
Itepublican State governments can not be maintained except by conferring the elective franchise 
upon the negro race in those States, Congress may confer it upon the ground that it is necessary to 
the performance of a prescribed duty. In this view it is not necessary to regard the rebel States as 
Territories, as the constitutional provision applies, in express terms, to States. 

As a practical question it cannot be supposed that four millions of free colored people can for a 
great time be kept in a state of political vassalage and denied their voice in the government by 
which they are controlled, |aud which they help to support. As a political question, our Republican 
theory, which asserts that "governments exists only by the consent of the governed," and that 
" taxation and representation " should go together, does not admit that suflrage shall be limited 
by race, cast, or color. As a question of natural right, it is hard to say that sutlrage is not a 
natural right, when upon its exercise may depend the possession and eiijoymPiit of all other 
acknowledged natural rights. It is hard to say that a man has a right to life, liberty, and the pur- 
suit of happiness, and yet has no natural right to a voice in that government by which these other 
rights will be protected or denied. But as all other natural rights are subject to restriction and 
limitation for the general vi'elfare of society, this should be no exception to the rule. The proposi- 
tion at once to introduce to the ballot-box half a million of men, who but yesterday were slaves, the 
great mass of whom are profoundly ignorant, and all impressed with that character which slavery 
impresses upon its victims, is rei)Ugnant to the feelings of a largo part of our people, and would 
only be justified by necessity resulting from inability to maintain loyal republican State govern- 
ments without them. 

But the necessity for loyal Republican State Governments that shall protect men of all races, 
classes and opinions, and shall render allegiance and support to the Government of the United 
States, must override every other consideration of prejudice or policy. 

If it be found necessary not to accept the present State Governments in the South, and to exer- 
cise the great power which has hitherto lain dormant in the Constitution, the people of the South 
will have the consolation of knowing that it is their own act and deed. By the unrestrained 
slaughters of Memphis and New Orleans : by the unpunished murder of loyal men ; by the perse- 
cution and exile of those who adhered to the Union ; by the contemptuous rejection of the generous 
terms that were offered, they are fast proving that the extraordinary powers of the Constitution 
must be summoned to cure the evils under which the lanil is laboring. 

Let them take warning, and speedily reform their ways before they have driven the nation to a 
point where theory, passion and prejudice must all give way to the stern necessity of establishing 
new governments tliat will protect all men in equal enjoyment of life, liberty and property. 

But come what will, the Nation will live, and its unity and power be established. 

Throughout the late conflict, we decerned the hand of God leading the Nation through blood, to a 
purer morality xnd clearer percejition of the rights of men, and cannot doubt that in Uis own time, 
and by His chosen means. He will conduct it safely through this sea of troubles to a fraternal peace, 
unstained by oppression, unbroken by rebellion, and crowned with the choicest blessings ever vouch- 
safed to any people. OLIVER P. MORTON.

GOVERNOR'S PROCLAJMATION, OCT. 2, 18G1- 

CALL FOR ADDITIONAL VOLUNTEER.S— To THE PEOTLE OF INDIANA, 

In the progress of events, this wicked and unnatural rebellion, having for its object the overthrow 
of our Government, and the subversion of our institutions, has extended into our neighboring 
State of Kentucky : On several occasions within the last few months, the people of Kentucky, b} 
overwhelming majorities, have declared their loyalty to the Union, and their determination to ad- 
here to..llie (Jonstitutiou. There is, however, within her borders a desperate and factious minorily, 
who are determined, at all hazards, to plunge the State into rovolvtion and all the horrors of civil 
war. 

To this end they have inaugurated a reign of terror, and throwing off all restraints of law, jinp- 
claini a war of destruction and desolation against the lives and property of all loyal ami Union-lov- 
ing citizens. 

in this atrocious attemjit to coerce a loyal States into rebellion, they arc aided by large bodies of 
armed uic-n from Tennessee and other seceding States. These rebel troops have entered the State 
from the southeast through the Cumberland Gap; also from the southwest, occupying Columbus and 
other points, but chiefly from the direction of Nashville, toward Louisville, seizing and holding the 
Nashville & Louisville Railroad, up to within forty miles of Louisville. A glance at the map will 
show the immense importance of their position, and the advantages they have gained. From their 
camps south of Louisville, they can communicate by railroad with every seceding State but two; 
and can thus transport to their aid, in a few hours, men and munitions of war, from every part of 
the South. It is the determination of the invaders and conspirators, to subjugate the loyal jieople 
of Kentucky, and seize fur plunder and vengeance the wealthy and populous cities ou the border of 
tihio and Indiana. 

[t should require no argument or appeal now, to arouse the people of Indiana to put forth all 
their strength. When our State was in her infancy, the brave men of Kentucky came to the rescue 
of our people from the scalping kiiife of the savage, and their blood is mingled with our soil on many 
a field. And shall we not stand by Kentucky now, in this her hour of peril? Not to do so, were 
base ingratitude and criminal folly. We can best defend Indiana by repelling the invader from 
Kentucky, and carrying the war thence to the hearts of the rebellious States. 

Indiana has already done as well as any other loyal State, and better than many. Her troops are 
to be found in every camp from the Potomac to the Missouri, and wherever their valor has been 
put to the test, tliey have been found equal to the occasion. But because other States have not 
done their whole duty, it would be worse than madness for us to refuse to do even more than ours 
to crush out this rebellion and bring about the speedy restoration of the Union and peace with all 
its blessings. We have done much, but we can do more, and the sooner it is done the quicker thu

rioiily in wealtli. iiopiilniioii ami resources of tlio loyal States, tlieir i>ower was promptly exerted 
in auythioK like an equal ratio witli the elTorts made in the HeeedinR States, this rebellion would be 
speedily extins'Hi^hed. Let Indiana set the frlorious example of doing her whole duty, and show to 
the world how much can be iiccomplislied by the bravo and loyal people of a single State. 

To this we are iirompted by every consideration of hope, interest, and aflection. All that we are, 
all that we hope to be, is in issue. Our cause is the holiest for which aims were ever taken, involv- 
ing, as it does, the existence of our Government, and all that is valuable and dear to a free people. 

if other considerations are required than those of duty and devotion to the cause, they may be 
found in the fact that the war has reached our own borders, and that if the energy and in.solence of 
the rebels are not promptly met and punished, our own soil is not secure from pollution by an army 
of traitors. 

I, therefore, call upon all men rajiable of bearing arms, and who can leave tiieir homes, to cast 
aside their ordinary pursuits, and enroll themselves in thci-anks of the army. Let the farmer leave 
liis plow, the merchant bis store, the mechanic his workshop, tke banker his exchange, and the jn-o- 
lessional mau his office, and devote themselves to their count ry, and by enrolling themselves either 
in the service of the General Government or ijnder the military law of the State, bo prepared to 
defend their coun'try and their liomes. Kvery man in the State capable of bearing arms should bo 
in the service of the General Government or the State. Let personal ease and private interests 
submit to the overruling necessities of the hour, and let us sliow to the world by the sacrifices we 
are willing to make in peison and property, that we are worthy of our sires, and deserve to retain 
the inheritance they have bequeathed to us. 

Upon those who remain at home, I would urge the solemn duty of making provision for the fam- 
ilies of those who have or may hereafter enter the army. The soldier in the fiehi should have the 
sweet assurance that his wife and children, and all who are dependent upon his labor for a living, 
will be provided with suflicient food and clothing. Such an assurance would nerve his arm in the 
hour of battle and enable him to bear with cheerfulness the hardships and privations of a soldier's 
life. It would be a lasting disgrace to our people if the family of any soldier should want for bread 
or raiment while our country is full to overflowing with all the necessaries of life. 

In a time like this, we should give freely of our subsistance for the relief of those whose husbands, 
fathers ami brotliera are periling their lives in battle. 

I therefore earnestly recommend that every town, township and neighborhood take efficient and 
systematic steps for the accomplishment of this purpose.

CALL FOR FIVE REGIMENTS— JANUARY 24, 18G2. 

TO THE TKOrLK (>F INDIANA. 

Tlie Government of tlie United States has called upon Indiana for five additional regiments of 
infantry, to complete the crushing out of the present rebellion. The necessity for this call need 
not be stated; it is sufficient to say that it exists, and as patriotic and loyal citizens, it only re- 
mains for us to meet it. Indiana has done nobly hitherto in furnishing her brave and heroic sons 
10 defend aiul maintain the Constitution and Union of our fathers; they have rallied around their 
country's standard, "Many as the sands, one as the sea," and their gallant deeds in the field is the 
theme of praise on every tongue. 

Let this call, which I trust is the last I shall have to make during this war, bo responded to with 
the same ze:il and alacrity as former ones have been. 

The pnhlished orders of the Adjutant General give specific directions for recruiting and mode of 
organization. It is proper to slate that in the five regiments called for are included the I'Jth and 
IGtIi regiments now ri:-organizing.

To the People of Indiana : 

The large number of troops required to garrison and hold the great extent of territory which has 
been wri'Sted from the possession of the rebels by the many and distinguished victories tliat have 
attended the Union arms, enables the rebels to greatly outnumber our forces now in the vicinity of 
Tlichmond. The greater p.irt of the rebel army has been concentrated at Richmond — their last 
Btronghold — for a final and desperate struggle; and the army of the Union — while fighting with a 
gallantry hardly equaled, and never surpassed, in the anuiUs of warfare — has, by overwhelming 
numbers, been compelled to a short and temporary retreat.

the rebellion and tlo- re.stoiation of peace and the Union of the States. 

Ajfain I Call uiiua ih- loyal and patriotic men of Indiana to come forward and siijiply the (]uota 
due from our f^tate. V\) to this liour, Indiana occupies a most exalted position enniireted with tie- 
war. Iler troops have heeu in almost every battle, and liave behaved witli uniform and distin- 
guished gallantry. Never before has tlie State held so prouii a place in the opinion of tlie world, 
and it should be the jirayer and effort of every loyal citi/.en that she may not now falter, and thai 
nothing may hereafter occur to detract from her well-earned honors. But whih' we are justly 
proud of the high rank to which Indiana |has attained, we should never forget tliat our allegiance 
and highest duty arc due to the Nation, of which ludiana is but a part; that in struggling for our 
National Government, we are contending for our National existence, honor, and all lliat is dear to 
freemen, and that in this struggle we must succeed, at lohatener cost; that it is the duty of every 
State to fiirnisli, promptly, her full proportion of the military force called for by the I'resiiient. and 
that in doing so, she hag no right to dictate the terms of his military policy or prescribe conditions 
precedent upon which such force shall be furnished. To do so, wouhl be to rei-ognize the odious 
doctrine of estate Rights, as it has been taught by_rebel politicians for many yiius, and which is 
but another name fur secession and tln^ cause of all o"ur woe. 

I therefoie call upon every man, whatever may be his rank ami condition in lifi-, to jiut aside his 
business and come to the rescue of his countiy. Upon every man. indiviilually , let me urge the 
solemn truth, that whatever may be his condition or business, he has no duty or business half so 
important to himself ariJ family as the speedy and effectual suppression of therebellion. 

Those who from age and intirniity cannot enter the army, can do much to stimulate others: and 
I want every man to feel especially calle.l ujton to exert himself, and by public ami private exhor- 
tation, and liy every legitimate inlluence, to encourage the iinnnnliate filling up of the new regi- 
ments. And to the women of Indiana, whose hearts are so full of love of country, and who, by 
their labors and contributions, have done so much to relieve the sick and wounded soldiers, let me 
especially api)eiil. Kmulate the virtues of the Iloman matron — urge your sons, husbamls, and 
brothers to the field. Your influence is all-pervading and poweiful. And to the maiden let me say, 
beware of that lover who, full of health and vigor, lingers at home in inglorious ease when his 
country calls him to arms. 

The I'ith and loth Indiana Kegini'-nts will rendezvous at Indianapolis, as before providi'd. 

At present, one regiin^'iit will be eallnl for from each Congressional District, t(p lie numbered and 
located as follows :

fby the Te-nalistinpnts of veteran Indiana troops in tlie fipl<I. By express order of the Ww Depart 
anent the re-enlisted veterans ave to be credited upon tlie quotas of the several Statrs to which they 
tjelong. 

The re-enlistment of the veterans in the fieid lias far exceeded the most sanguine expectations of 
tthe GoverBiiietit, and thonsands have voliniteiTed for a eecoE-^ terra where perhaps but huiidteds 
'were expeetefl. This result is of tlie raost gratifying and atispicious character, but it re«|uire8 ue 
argument to prove that if the re-eslisted Veterans are lai'gely counted upon the quotas of tlie several 
States, that trie Government will come off far short of getting three hundred thousand additional 
■men called for by the rresideut, and necessary for military operations during the next spring and 
Rummer. In this way anolTier call by the President may become necessary, and in order to avoid 
the renev/ed liability of the State, and to render to the Government that fell and complete support 
which is due from fhe Stitte, 1 earnestly exhort the people of the varioBS counties and townships 
yet in arrears to make all necessary exertions to furnish the number of volunteers required of tliera 
under the apportionment of the quota iieretofore published. To do this will be the only security 
against a future draft. 1 trust the variot3s recruiting efliccrs, county and township) authorities, 
-and military committee will not relax in their exertions until the quota of the State has been com- 
•jiletely filled by the enlistment of men within the State. It is much easier to do this now than at 
any future time, aud the efficient support rendered to the Government, and the example set before 
the uatJOB, will be o/ the most salutary character.

CALL FOR ONE HUNDRED DAYS TROOPS. 

[NoTK. — This call sliould have appeared ?.s part of Document No. 4— see pages 40, 50, 61, 5-2 — but 
was oiKi^^ted bj' mistake.] 

TO TIIK PEOPLE CF INDI.\NA. 

The Governers of Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and Indiana, have offered to raise for the service 
<nf the General Government, eighty-five thousand men for the period of one hundred days, to perform 
Tiuch niilitaiy service as may be required of them in any State. They will be armed, subsisted, 
-clothed and paid by the United States, but receive no bounty. They will be mustered into the service 
of the United States for the period designated, the time to commence from the date wf muster. 

The importance of making tlie approaching campaign successful aad decisive is not to he over- 
estimated, and I feel confident that this call will bi' promptly and fully responded to. I need not 
'inter into the reasons v/hich have induced the making of this offer and acci-ptanee by the Govern- 
nient, as they will be suggested to all by the condition of the country and position of our military 
jitfairs. 

I therefore call for Twenty-thousand (■20,000) volimteers, to rendezvous at such places as may 
be hereafter designated, and to be organi'-^ed under instructions to be given by the .\djutant General. 
Existing organisations of the Indiana Legion offering their services will be preserved when the reg- 
Sment or company is filled to the minimum number under the regulations governing the army of 
the United States.

ENLISTMENTS IN OLD REGIMENTS FOR THE UNEXPIRED TEPvM 

OF SERVICE. 

{From the I)idiana2iolis Journal, June 27, lSfi4.) 
Frequent inquiry has been made of us by correspondents in the army, as well as by citizens at 
hoint^, respecting the term of service for which recruits would be held who volunteered in old regi- 
ments with the understanding that they were to serve only for and during the "unexpired term" of 
their respective regiini>nts. We have repeatedly stated in our coliiiuns that the military authorities 
at Washington had refused to recognize enlistments (into old three years regiments) for a less period 
than the full term of three years. It is true that recruiting officers in their Keal to fill uji the ranks 
of their companies, made representations to recruits that they would bo held only for the balance 
of the term of service of tlie particular regiment or battery for which they were recruited, but these 
representations, as we have been informed from official sources, were unauthorized. However this 
may be, it is very certain that a large number of recruits were obtained under the impression that 
when the old rngiments and batteries to which they v.'ere attached, were mustered out, they would 
also he discharged from the service. The plan of re-enlisting troops as veterans, at the time of 
\\hl(-h we speak, had not been adopted, and it seemed to be but reasonable that nil the men com- 
posing a regiment or battery should be relieved from duty at the same time This understaudiug 
was doubtless strengthened by the fact that recruits were not accepted for the general service, but 
in all cases for particular organizations. Besides, the belief was very general that the war would 
close sometime during the present year, and inasmuch as most of our old regiments and batteries 
would be discharged within the time, the services of the recruits would not be longer needed or 
required. These impressions were, without doubt, made upon the minds of recruits by the recruiting

officers, and asssiuitcil to by tho United States military dflicers, by wliom tlio recruiting Korvicc whs 
Bupcrvist-d, and \v« tliink, under the circunistiinccfi, it would be just and fair fortho Government in 
jiirmit tlie exjiectations of the soldiers to be realized. We know that Governor Jlorton, wh" has ever 
had the interest of our troops at heart, has twice preseiitrd this matter to the War Deparlnient, 
and urfjed as a matter of justice and good faith, that the nn(hTstanding to which we have alluded 
be carried out ; ami similar aiiplicatiims have been made by other States. Cut, on the ground that 
the niuster-in rolls show the men to have been enlisted for three years, and tliat to go behind the 
enlistments would establish a precedent which would seriously injure the public service, the De- 
[)artment has in every case refused to accede to the proposition. 

Ah a last resort, the Governor recently addressed a memorial to the President of the Senate and 
Speaker of the House of Kepresentatives on the subject, fully settinK forth tlu^ facta, and nskini; 
that Congrcre take such action in the premises as justice, good faitli and sound policy demand. 
The memorial reads as follows : 

ExECiTiVE Depauthent, Indianapolis, Ind., Juno 21, 18J4. 

To the Pre^iilevt of the SeiKilc and Siienl:er of the Souse of Representatives, Congress ttf the United Slates : 

I desire to present to you, and through you to tho Senate and House of Representatives, an iin- 
portant question growing out of the enlistu'.ent of recruits anterior to the Ist of .lan\iary, isi:;. for 
three years regiments then in the field. The men tlms recruited in Indiana had the unilerstainlinc; 
that they were enlisteii for the unexpired term of the regiments into which they went, and would 
be (lischarged along with them. This understanding grew up from several causes. 

First. From the general impression which prevailed that the country would not need tli.ir 
services after the expiration of the term ef tho regiments, which would be from abcmt the middle to 
the close of the year 18i)4. 

Second. Because the recruiting was carried on for particular regiments and not for the general 
service, carrying with it the idea that t!ie recruit was to serve in that regimeut and no otlier, 
and it not being known that the regimental organization would be extended beyond the first three 
years by the re-enlistment of veterans or by any other process. 

Third. Beea«?e this understanding was universally encouraged and presented by recruiting 
officers, and was agreed to and concurred in by United States mustering officers, as, I am informed 
and believe, then on duty. 

Fourth. From the general reading, though perhaps not critical, of several orders issued by the 
War Department, providing for and regulating recruiting for old regiments, apparently proceeding 
on th'- hypothesis that the recruiting was for regimental and not for the general service, and that 
the recruits would be held only for the unexpired term of the regiments, and would be mustered out 
along w ith them. 

Kut from whatever causes the understanding may have arisen, or however erroneous it may have 
been, it is absolutely certain that it existed, and so full was it that in the month of October, 1Si>2, 
many of the men who had been drafted in Indiana for the period of nine months, volunteered into 
(•111 rcjiiments for the unexpired term, with the understanding that they should be held no longer ; 
end I most respectfully submit that good faith rerjuir"s that it should hi- strictly carried out. 

Nor was this understanding, as I am advised, confined to Ind'ana, but prevailed extensively in 
oth^r States. It is undoubtedly true that tho rolls which the men signed described an enlistment 
for thrpe years or during the war, but this was explained, as I learn, as the necessary technical 
form of the enlistment, and did not disturb the conviction iu their minds that they would be held 
only for the unexpired term of the regiment. 

The question has been presented to the War Department, and by it decided, that from the form of 
the enlistments, the men would be held for thr<'r years from the date of enlistment, and without 
regard to the expiration of the term of the regiments into which they volunteered. Although it 
may not be in the power of the War Department to grant the relief sought for, yet it is undoubtedly 
within the power of Congress, and I respectfully but earnestly call their attention to it as alike 
demanded by justice, good faith, and sound policy.

Circular. 

In answer to numerous inquiries, T have the honor to state that while on a recent visit to Wash- 
ington City, I received official information at the War Dejiiirtment — 

1. That the Secretary of War had approved and presentiMl the memorial of Governor Morton to 
Congress — asking for the discharge of recruits enlisted with the understanding that thi'V were to 
tervo only during the unexpired term of their regiments — with the recommendation that a law be 
passed authorizing the discharge of said recruits. 

"2. That owing to a prebs of business no action was had in the matter by Congress. 

:). That the Secretary of War, in the absence of action by Congress, has decidid that he had no 
power or authority to order the discharge of r(!cruits enlisti-d under the supposition that they were 
to serve only for the unexpired term, the rolls showing that they were enlisted for the term of three 
years. 

I was further informed that all Indiana troops would be mustered out as fast as the interests of 
the public service would admit.

Ills KxcKt.i.KNCV, Oliver I*. MoHTcrx, Governor Slate of Indiana, Indianapolis, Indimia : 

Sin — I Iitive the honor to inform yon that tho State of Indiana stands credited upon the bookfl of 
Die Adjutant (ieneral of the Army with an excess of 28,501 over all calls for troops, in 18U1, lSl>\i 
and lHi>:i, up to the 4th day of Jiiiie, 

The quota of the State for the present draft is 26,SIW. The excess of troops heretofore furnished 
Iiy it, over the quota, is 1,6IJ8. There will, therefore, be no draft in Indiana under thu present call 
for troops, and the number of l,(;(iS will stand to its credit in the futore demands of the General 
(Joveriiment. 

I am, Sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, 

JAMES B. FUY, 
Provost Marshal General. 

On the I'.Mh day of October, 181";!, the President of the United States issued a proclamation caliiiif, 
for :iO(),(iUO volunteers. On the 2Ist day of October, 18fi:3, I received a dispatch from the Secretary 
of War, assigning the quota of Indiana, under this call, at ]8,9"J7 men. This quota was apportioncj 
among the various counties of the State upon the basis of the settlement made between the State 
and the War Department, in September, taking into account the number of enlistments inadp 
between the date of the settlement, and the apportionment of the quota, as far as they could be 
ascertained. 

On the 1st day of February, 1864, the President issued another call for 200,000 additional men. 
Adopting the ratio under the call of October, 18t;,'{, the quota of Indiana under this call would be 
12,UU5 men, which, added to the quota under the call of October, would be m the aggregate .'il,ii()- 
men. Immediately after the last call was made, Adjutant General Noble visited Washington, by 
my direction, to effect a settlement between the State and War Department, if podsible, and ascer- 
tain the number of men already furnished, and the number that was still required frtmi the State. 

'I'he War Department was not prepared to make the settlement or give the required informatiou, 
and General Noble returned without accomplishing his mission. General Love returned (rem 
Washington last week, whither he had gone on tlio same business. He brought with him the 
adjustment which will bo found hereafter in the letter addressed to Colonel Baker, but as it was not 
otlidiHlly furnished, and was subject to revision, no publication was made. Yesti-rday ColoneS 
Baker, the Assistant I'rovost Marshal General, received from Colonel James B. Fry, Provost Mar- 
hhal General, the following communication :

The surplus of these credits over quotas and credits for all men enlisted from Februarj' 1st to 
April Ist, will b(^ carried to the credit of the districts and sub-districts, on future Citlls. 
i am, Sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, 

JAME3 B. FKV, 
Provost Marshal General. 

From this it will be seen that Indiana, on the first day of February last, had furnished her quota 
under all calls, and had an excess of 7,3.'!0 men, not including rc-enlisted veterans. To this excess 
is to be added tlu^ number of men mustered into the old and new regiments since the first of Feb- 
ruary, and the number supposed to bo enlisted not mustered In, and the number of re-enlisted 
veterans, in all estimated at 17,000 men, making the total excess about 24,000 men, which number 
will probably be largely increased by the tirst of April next. 

The settlement made in September was not Satisfactory, as I believed that full credit had not 
been given for recruits which had jcined the army in the field, and that the original basis itself was 
incorrect. But I had no data, nor did it exist in the war Department, upon which to correct it. 
In the present adjustment, it will be perceived that the September settlement is entirely ignored. 

On the first day of March, Colonel Baker received from the Provost Marshal General the following 
dispatch :

To tliis I received the following answer:

(fovEUXOH 0. P. Morton, Indianapolis : 

Section three (.'i), act approved February twenty fourth (24), eighteen hundred and si.Kty-fuur 
(I.S()4), requires the draft to bo made in every sub-distiict which is deficient in its quota. Order.-, 
for draft will be given accordingly, without regard to the aggregate raised by the State at large. 
[Signed] JAMES B. FRY, P. M. General. 

The third section of the act approved February 'i4, l.SlJ4, is in these words, to-wit : 
"Skc. ;!. And be iC further enacted, That if the quotas sliall not be filled within the time desig- 
iiatid by the Presiditnt, the Provost Marshal of the District within which any ward of a city, town, 
toHUship, precinct, or election district, or county where the same is not divided into wards, towns, 
townships, precincts, or election districts, which is deficient in its quota, is situated, shall, under 
the direction of the Provost Marshal General, make a draft for the number deficient therefrom, but 
all volunteers who may enlist after the draft shall have been ordered, and before it shall be actnaliy 
made, shall be deducted from the number ordered to be drafte<i in such ward, town, township, 
precinct, or election district, or county. And if the quota of any district shall not be filled by the 
draft made in accordance with the provisions of this act, and the act to which it is an amendment, 
further drafts shall be made, and like proceedings had, until the quota of such district sliall be 
tilled." 

.\ccording to the construction given to this section by Colonel Fry, a draft would be made in 
every ward of a city, or township in a county, that may not have furnished its quota, although th*- 
State, iu the aggregate, may have furnished its quota and more. Whether this construction will 
be adhered to and acted upon by the Government, I am unable to say. 

The Adjutant General is preparing fer publication as rapidly as possible a statement of the num- 
ber of men furnished by each county from the beginning of the war, including the proper credits 
for the re-enlisted veterans. The veterans are re-enlisted in the field, and the locality to which 
they are to be credited is determined by themselves at the time of re-enlistnient, and put down upon 
rolls. The statement cannot, therefore, be completed until these rolls shall have been received. 

When we consider the great number of troops that have been furnished b}' the State for the 
prosecution of the war, the promptness with which they have responded to the calls of the Govern- 
ment, and the great and uniform gallantry they liave displayed upon so many bloody fields we may 
Well be proud of the record which Indiana has made. 

Since writing the above, Colonel Baker has received the following dispatch : 

Washington, JIarch 1.3, 18<j4. 
CoLONEi. Conrad Bakkk, A. A. P. M. General: 

The President of the I'nited States h;is made a call for two hundred thousand (200,000) men. in. 
addition to the call of February 1, 18ij4, for live hundred thousand. The quota will he two-fifths 
(2-5ths) of the quota of five hundred thousand, subject to additions for deficiencies and deduction 
for excesses on that quota. As soon as practicable you will be informed of the number required 
from each District of your State. Notifv the (iovernor immediatelv. 

[Signed] ■ ■ .rAMlOS B. FKY, 

Provost Marshal General. 
Under this new call, the quota of Indiana, according to the ratio adopted under the call in Octo- 
ber last, will be 12,(;tio, but according to the assignment in the letter addressed to (/'olonel Baker, 
above quoted, will be i.'i,008 men. The excess furnished by tlio State over former calls is almost 
double the quota under tlie last, yet it is not unlikely that, under the operation of the section quoted 
from tlie act of February 24, 1804, as construed by the Provost Marshal General, the draft may fall 
upon a number of counties that have failed to do their part. As before stated, the liabilities and 
credits of each county will be given as soon as tho necessary data can be procured in the Adjutant 
General's office, and when that has been done, the quota of each county can be approximately dis- 
tributed among the several townships or wards in cities.

HONORARY MUSTER-IN OF OFFICERS. 

Executive Department of Indiana, 1 
Adjutant Genekal's Okkice, - 

Indianapolis, May 27, 1865.3 
CIRODLAK. 

To Commanding Officers of Indiana Hegiments and Batteries : 

Your attention is reBpectfully called to the accompanying communication from Hia Excellency, 
(JoTcriior Morton, to the Secretary of War, in relation to tlie muster-in of officers in the volunteer 
service from this State, who hold commissions for higher grades, hut who cannot he mustered in 
upon the same, under the existing regulations of the service, because their coninianda are below 
the minimum. Under the rules of promotion adopted by the Governor, January 1, 18lj'.i, all officers 
of merit, belonging to Indiana organizations, are entitled to promotion in "regular line," upon the 
recommendation of their superior officers, without reference to whether they can be mustered into 
the higher grades to which they may he promoted, or not. And now that the rebellion is practi- 
cally ended, and our organizations are about to be honorably mustered out, it is but simple justice 
that the services of those who have shouldered the responsibilities and discharged the duties per- 
taining to the positions to which they would have been entitled — but for the reduction of their com- 
mands by the casualties of war — should be recognized by the Government by allowing them to bu 
mustered in upon the commissions issued to them for said higher grades. 

It is confidently believed that the Secretary of War will take favorable action upon the Gover- 
nor's recommendation ; and, in view of such action, it is desired that every vacancy in field, staff, 
and line offices be filled by promotion, under and in accordance with the rules of promotion hereto- 
fore issued from this office. 

I have the honor, therefore, to request that you will at once make and formard to this officti 
recommendations accor<lingly. Commissions will be issued and transmitted without delay. 

By ordei of Governor SIokton.

Hon. E. 51. Stanton, SecretarT/ of War, Washington, I). C. : 

Sir: — In view of the muster-out of a large number of volunteer officers, with their commands, 
under recent orders, I beg to submit for your consideration the following: 

That all field, staff, and line officers, now in service and about to be mustered out, who have been 
promoted and commissioned to higher grades in their respective regiments and conipaiiics, but who 
have not been mustered into said grades by reason of their commands being below the minimum 
Btrength, be so mustered in as of the date of their muster-out. 

In this State it has been the practice to promote and commission all officers of merit to fill vacan- 
cies in their regiments and companies, as a mark of distinction and respect, whether they could be 
mustered in or not. They have assumed all the responsibilities and discharged ail the duties con- 
nected with the positions to which they have been commissioned ; and wliik' tlnir muster-in, as 
pioposed, would not increase their pay, or in any manner affect the Government, it would be 
regarded by the officers interested as a valued compliment, a mark of approbation, and a recogni- 
tion, ou the part of the Government, of their faithful services in saving and restoring the country. 

I therefore respectfully and earnestly suggest that an order authorizing such musters be issued 
at once. 

Very sincerely and trulv, 

O. V. MORTON, Governor of Indiana.

SOLDIERS' DISCHARGES. 

Executive Department or Indiana, 7 
Adjutant General's Office, Indianapolis, August 7th, 18GiJ. / 

To Discharged Indiana Soldiers : 

Numerous inquiries having been made at this office in relation to the sale of soldiers' dischargn 
papers, the following information and suggestions are published for the benefit of whom it may 
concern : 

The only object any one can have in purchasing soldiers' discharges is to defraud or speculate off 
of the soldiers who may be foolish enough to sell their papers. It is believed that Congress, probably 
at its next session, will pass a law giving to the soldiers at least one hundred and sixty acres of land, 
and it may be that an additional bounty in cash will be granted to veterans and thos<? who received 
none of the large local bounties paid to new recruits under the call of last year. 

Speculators understand very well that no soldier can receive his laud warrant, or any bounty that 
may be allowed by Congress, unless he can produce an honorable discharge. Tliey therefore are 
now endeavoring to buy up these papers for a mere song, with a view of selling them back to the 



STATISTICS AND DOCUMENTS. 341 

p.TBons disr,hrii-,c;o(i, or to thoir lieirs, as soon lis the law is passed, of course expecting to make a big 
prolit in cacli ease. 

I therefore warn soldiers not to part witli their discharges for any consideration whatever. Tho 
Government lias land euou;;h to give you caiii a farm, and a grateful people, appreciating your 
services and sacrifici^s, will see to it that Congress does you justice. Those of you who have fought 
through the war without receiving any local bounties, should certainly get as much as those who 
staid back until the war was nearly over, and then joined the army only" for money. 

Kemember that your discharge pap"rs must be i)r»duced before anything can be secured from the 
(iovernment. Besides, allow me to remind you, y<jur discharges are" evidences of faithful and hon- 
orable service to your country , of which every soldier shoubl feel proud. If for no other reason 
than this, you should keep them. They are your title papers to a nobility prouder and more 
valuable than kings or potentates can confer. If you lose them, duplicates can not b" issued, and 
if you Bell them you will never bn able to get them, except at e.vtravagant cost. Your duty and 
yoJir interest is to carefully keep them. 

By order of Governor MoKTON : W. H. H. TERRELL,

STATE ARMS. 



C I R C V L A R . 

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT OF INDIANA, ) 

Ad.iut.vnt Genkhal's Office, !- 

Indianapolis, Indiana, Juno 5, IStiV.j 

In consequence of the numerous requisitions that have been made, and are likely to be made, up- 
on this Department for arms and equipments for military companies, I am directed to announce 
that it is not, at this time, deemed advisable to organize any portion of the militia of the State. 

Within the past two years, experience has demonstrated that it is impossible to maintain an ef- 
fective and well disciplined militia force under existing laws. During the late war, it is true, the 
•'Indiana Legion " rendered invaluable service in repelling rebel raids and guarding our Soutliern 
border against rebel invasion, yet it is also true that upon the surrender of Lee, every company of 
the "Legion" abandoned its organization. The inetliciency of the militia law rendered it impossi- 
ble to enforce any sort of discipline or responsibility; and to save the State from great loss, the 
authorities were compelled to gather in the arms and other public property. This was only partial- 
ly accomplished, and at an expense almost equal to the value of the arms and stores recovered. It 
is estimated that there are now outstanding, scattered tliroughout the State, not less than 7,000 
muskets, most of which will probably never be reclaimed 

An additional reason why the militia can not now be effectively maintained, is, that there is no 
fund provided for defraying the expenses which would necessarily bo incurred. 

In a number of cases, it has been proposed to organize independent companies ; but as these are 
not recognized by the law, there is no authority whatever for issuing to them the public arms. 

In view of the foregoing facts, it is believed that the public interest will be best subserved by re- 
taining the few hundred arms now in possession of the State until such time as the Legislature, or 
the General Government, may provide by a new and more stringent law for the proper organization 
of the militia. 

The arms on hand are new and in perfect order, and have recently been carefully packed and 
stored for safety, at considerable expense, in the United States Arsenal near this city. In case of 
insurrection or riot, they may be required, and will be at once available.

RESISTANCE TO THE CONSCRIPTION LAW. 

PROCLAMATION BY THE GOVERNOR. 

Whf.rf.as, Resistance has been made in several cases to officers engaged in the execution of the 
Conscription Law, and to officers and soldiers engaged in arresting deserters from tho army, in 
which blood has bedn shed and murder committed ; 

And Wherkas, These acts of resistance to the Government are high crimes, and fraught with great 
danger to the public peace, and to the honor of tho State, I deem it my duty to solemnly warn 
all persons against resistance to the Government in any form, or hindering or obstructing any 
olficer thereof in the pc^rformanco of his duties. And, for the bettrr information of such a* 
have not convenient access to the penal statutes, enacted by the Federal and State Governments, 
and now in force, I herein set forth certain sections contained in said statutes.

ADJUTANT GENERAL S REPORT. 



An act of Congress, passi'il July :!1, LSll, roads as fdllows: 

"AN ACT TO DEFINK AND PUNISH CERTAIN CONSPIRACIES. 

"Be it enacted by the Senate and Jlonse of Jieiirexentalives of the United States of America in Cotup-est 
aHuembled, That if two or more persons, witbin any State or Territory of the United States, shall 
conspire together to overthrow, or to put down, or to destroy by force, the Government of the 
I'nited States, or to levy war against the United States, or to oppose by force the anthority of the 
(Jovernment of the United States, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law 
of the United States ; or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States against 
the will or oonti'ary to the anthority of the United States; or by any force, or intimidation, or 
llireat, to prevent any person from accepting or holding any office, or trust, or place of confidence 
nuder the United States; each and every person to offending shall be guilty of a high crime, ami 
upon conviction thereof in anj' District or Circuit Court of the United States, having jurisdiction 
thereof, or District or Supreme Court of any Territory of the United States, liaving jurisdiction 
thereof, shall be punished by a fine, not less than five hundred dollars, and not more than live thou- 
Kiind dollars ; or by imprisonment with or without hard labor, as the court shall determine, for a 
period not less than six months nor greater than six years, or by both such fine and im))risonment." 

Any combination, agreement, or understanding forcibly to prevent, hinder or delay the execution 
of any law of the United States, is by this law made a penal offense, although such combination, 
ligreement, or tinderstanding had not been carried into execution, and clearly covers the cases of 
disloyal societies, which are known to exist in several parts of the State. 

The ■24th and 2,'ith sections of the Conscription Act, approved March 3, 18(i.'!, read as follows : 

"Skc. 'li. And lie it fiirttier enacted. That every person not subject to the rnles and articles of war, 
wild shall procure or entice, or attempt to procure or entice, a soldier in the service of the United 
States to desert ; or who shall liarbor, conceal, or give employment to a deserter, or carry hini 
away, or aid in carrying him away, knowing him to be such ; or who shall purchase from any soldii'r 
liis arms, equipments, ammunition, uniform, clothing, or any part thereof; and any captain or 
commanding officer ot any ship or vessel, or any superintendent or conductor of any railroad, or 
any other public conveyance, carrying away any such scddier as one of liis crew or otherwise, 
knowing him to have deserted, or shall refuse to deliver him up to the orders of his commanding 
oflicer. shall, upon legal conviction, be fined, at the discretion of any court having cognizance of 
I lie same, in any sum not exceeding five hundred dollars, and he shall be imprisoned not exceeding 
two years, nor less than six months. 

"Sec. 25. And be it further enacted, That if any person shall resist any draft of men enrolled 
under this act into the service of the United States, or shall counsel or aid any person to resist any 
such draft; or shall assault or obstruct any ofiicer in making such draft, or in the performance of 
any service in relation thereto ; or shall counsel any person to assault or obstruct any such officer, 
or shall counsel any drafted man not to appear at the place of rendezvous, or willlully dissuade 
them from the performance of military duties as required by law, such person shall he subject to 
summary arrest, by the Provost JIarshal, and shall be forthwith delivered to the civil authorities, 
and upon conviction thereof be punished by a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars, or by impris- 
iiiiment not exceeding two years, or by both of said fine and imprisonment." 

These sections are very broad, and cover every form of opposition to the arrest of deserters and 
the enforcement of the Conscription Law. 

By the 25th section it is made a high penal oftense to counsel or aid any person to resist the draft ; 
to counsel any person to assault, obstruct, or liinder any officer engaged in making the draft ; to 
counsel any drafted man not to appear at the place of rendezvous, or wilfully dissuaile him from 
(he performance of military duty, as required by law. To bring a case within this section, it is not 
necessary that there should be a conspiracy or combination. 

If one man shall give to another the counsel or advice prohibited in the section, In; is subject to 
the punishment it prescribes. Nor is it material how he shall give this counsel or advice, whether 
by liublic speaking, publishing in pamphlets or newspapers, or by private conversation. Nor is it 
uialerial tiiat such counsel or advice shall be direct and in terms. The law holds a man responsible 
for the natural and legitimate consequences of his acts ; so also for the natural and legitimate effects 
of what he may say. If what he sjieaks or publishes is naturally and reasonably calculated to 
excite the hatred of men against our Government, and resistance to the Conscription Law, he i.s 
within the purview of the section, although in the conclusion he might insert a saving clause, by form- 
ally (Irclaring that the laws must be obeyed, and no resistance offered to the Government. In such 
.t (ase tli<' law will look to the spirit and treasonable effect of what is said, and not to the mere 
words emiiloyed. 

It is within my knowledge that public speakers and editors have presented to their hearers and 
reailers evi^ry statement, argument, and motive that could excite them to hatred of the (iovernmeut 
and resistance to the laws, but, for their own protection, have interlarded their discourses with set 
phrases that there must be no violence, or resistance to the laws. Such men are cowardly and 
treacherous, as they exhort others to do what they are unwilling to do themselves, and seek to put 
their advice in a form for which they will not be held responsible. The subterfuge will not avail 
.igiiinst the provisions of the section I am considering. 

The Legislature of Indiana, at the Extra Session in 18fil, passed " an act to di-fine certain felonies 
Hurl provide for the punishment of persons guilty thereof," approved ;\lay '.ith. The 1st section of 
that act reads as follows: 

" Skction 1. lie it enacted b;/ the General Asuemhlij of the State of Indiana, That any jierson or 
persons lielonging to or residing within this State, or under the protection of its laws, who shall 
lake or accept a commission or commissions from any person or persons. State or States, or other 
enemiesof this State, or of the United States, for tlu! purpose of joining or commanding any army 
or band of men hostile to or in rebellion against this State, or the United States, or who shall know- 
ingly and willingly aid or assist any enemies in opi-n war, or persons in rebellion against this State or 
the United States, by joining their armies, or by enlisting or procuring or persuading others to 
enlist for that purpose, or by furnishing such enemies or persons in rebellion with arms or amrauni- 
iion, or provisions, or any other articles for their aid or comfort, or by Ihippiug, sending, or 
carrying to such enemies, or rebels, or their agents, any arms, aminunitioii, or iirovisions, or other 
articles for their aid or comfort, or by carrying on a traitorous correspondence with them, or shall 
ftjrm or be in any ivise concerned informing any combination, or plot, or conspiracy , for betraying this Stale 
or the United Slates, or the armed forces of either, into the hands or power of any foreign enemy, or of amj 
organized or pretended Government, engaged in resisting the laws or authority of tlie Government of the United 
Witi'fs o/ .4;r!eric«, or shall give or send any intelligence to any such enemies or pretended Govern- 



STATISTICS AND DOCUMENTS. 343 

Twont, OT their forcPs, for that purpoKf, every person s^o oftVnUinK shall, upon convictio'n tlicroof, be 
imprisoned in the State Prison lor a term not loss thau two, nr.r more than twenty-one years, and 
&;• fined a sum not^xceedins ten thousand dollars." 

This section is very broad in its character, and comprehends all orgunizatious haviug for their 
purpose resistance to any of the laws of the United States, or which are intended to weaken the 
power of the GoverEment, and disabh' it from suppressiii}; the rebellion — thus giving aid and com- 
fort to our enemies. It having been enacted by the Legislature of tiie Sixte, it is especially com- 
mended to the coBsideration of such persons as Jire tainted with the dangerous heresy that their 
allegiance is drae to the State and nut to tho United States. 

The offenses defitied and punished ie the statutes I have quoted, are below the grade of treason, 
and the guilt of the accused party uaay be established by one creditable witness, or by circumstan- 
tial evidence, as ie ordinary criminal prosecutions. 

It will be my purpose in the future, as in the past, to do my whole duty to (ho (government of 
tho United States and the people of Indiana. lu the administration of the law, and the perform- 
•luco of official doti'.-e, I recognize no p&rties. 

All who obey the laws, keep the peace, and di^chargo their duties as citizens, are alike entitled to 
-ind will receive jirotection iu person atid property. Tke alarm v.hich some are attempting to 
create-af the improper interfereaee of tho military antlioiities, may tie dismissed as without foun- 
dation. 

The right of the people peaceably to assemble and petition for a redress of grievances, and speak 
and publish their opinions touching the policy of the Government, or the conduct of the war, must 
be respected, and the enjoyment of it protected. Cut there is a wide difference between the legiti- 
mate exercises of this right and that unbridled license of speech which seeks, by the assertion of 
:he most atrocious falsehoods, to exasperate the people to madness and drive them into a position 
of ueutTality between their Government and the rebels, if not into the very arms of the rebellion — 
■combine them in dangerous societies, provoke them to resist the laws, and thus contribute directly 
■to weaken our own Government and strengthen the cause of the enemy. 

The criticism of one who is friendly to the Governuient, and who is anxious (hat it shall succeed 
Jind be preserved, and who points out its errors in order that they may be corrected, is wholly dif- 
ferent froin that denunciation which seeks to bring the Government into contempt and render it 
odious to the people, thereby withdrawing from it that Ui»tural support so necessary to its life when 
struggiiijg in battle with a powerful enemy. The one can never be mistaken fur the other. It must 
be borne in mind that the exercise of the plainest rights and privileges may h- greatly modified by 
surrounding circumstances; that what u»ay he proper or innocent aud harmless at one time, may 
be dangerous and criminal at another. 

To advocate the right of sec^^sion and rebcdiion, or the dissolution of our Government, might be 
harmless enough iu time of profound peace, but whea the country is engaged i« a desperate civil 
-war, which is consuming the {jest blood and treasure of the Nation, and the misfortune of arms 
might, within a few days, bring the enemy upon tUe soil of our State, will it be contended that the 
privilege of free speech gives tho right to advocate the rebellion, resistance to our own Government, 
or the abandonment of it to its etieniii^s? That which is idle talk in time of peace, may become 
"aid and -comfort to the enemy," and punishable by the laws of the land when that enemy is at 
■our doors. 

Let me exhort the people to moderation aod siibraission to the laws, and laying aside their re- 
sentments *nd prejudices, to take counsel only of their duties aed the dangers which threateta the 
■Nation ; and while I assure them that protection shall b? extended to life, liberty, and property, 
and that e^ual and exact justice shall be administered to all, I would impress theiu with the fact, 
that if needs be, the whole power of the State and Nation will be invoked to execute the laws, pre- 
serve the public peaee, and breng offenders to punishment.

ADJUTANT (JENEPAL S REPORT. 



bcr next, if no! Iioloro voluntarily eiilisitoii into tli'_' niilitaiy sorvice of tlie tfnited States, tho Dem 
ocratic State t'eutial Committee, expres.-iing as they believe the opinions and purposes of the Demo 
cvacy of tho State, have deemed it proper publicly to declare — 



apprencnsions oi anempis on me pari oi tiiose in autuority to inieriere uy military power witli tli 
freedom of elections, patriotism and prudenco alike demand that the constitutional right of th.- 
I)eople to keep and bear arms as a necessary means of defense to a free State, should not be violated 
nor abandoned ; and it is the right and duty of all good citizons to co-operate in open lawful organ- 
izations for the protection of the freedom of elections and for the preservation of peace and consti- 
tutional order and the rights of the people within tho State ; as well as for its defense against in- 
vasion, and we especially recommend to thi^ people in all their counties, townshiiJS, and election 




By order of the Committee, 

J. J. BIXGHAM, Chairman." 

The second clause declares that, in view of what are believed to bo well-founded apprehensions 
of attemjits by those in authority to interfere with the freedom of elections, recommends a thorough 
military organization of people in all the counties, towns and election precincts, and advices all to 
exercise their constitutional right in keeping and bearing arms. 

The assumption that there is a well founded apprehension that those in authority in this State 
will interfere by military power with the freedom of elections is absolutely and wickedly false. 
There is not one fact upon which such an apprehension can be based ; not a circumstance can be 
referred to in the political or military history of the State during the existence of this war, justify- 
ing or suggesting the charge. It is true that this charge has been made before, but always without 
an element of truth, for the simple purpose of exciting and goading the people into illegal, disloyal 
and dangerous organizations, and demonstrations against Federal and State authority. 

So far as my administration is concerned, I can safely defy the authors of this docwment to point 
to a single act giving color to this wicked and infamous charge, or to show a single instaneo in 
which I have failed to exercise the Executive power for the protection of persons and property, and 
social and civil rights, without regard to parties or politics. While serving as the Governor of In- 
diana, I have endeavored to act for the whole people and not for a party, and shall so continue, re- 
gardless of all assaults or aspersions ; at the same time I shall not hesitate to vindicate legitimate 
authority, no difference under what pretence or by what method it may bo assailed. So far as the 
approaching elections are concerned, they shall, to the extent of the power vested in me, be open 
and free, and eveiy legitimate voter be protected in the unrestrained and deliberate exercise of the 
elective franchise. This is my purpose, nor has there ever been any reason to doubt it, and I can- 
not, under the pretence that I am about to violate my duty, tolerate the formatiots of any danger- 
ous or illegal military organizations, the true |)urpose of which is to resist the State and Federal 
authority, overawe the people, control the elections, aud thus accomplish the very thing agaiBst 
which it is hypocritically pretended they are to guard It is true that phrases about " open lawful 
organizations," " defence against invasion," &,c., are introduced in the second clause of the address, 
but they do not in the least disguise its effect and purpose. It assumes that those in authority are 
about to violate the law, and urges the formation of military organizations to prevent such viola- 
tion, they being the judges of the existence, extent and remedy for such violations. Such has beeiv 
the history of all revolutions and civil troubles. The peojde have been arrayed against the govern- 
ment upon the real or assumed pretext that acts of tyranny had been or are al)OUt to be jvcrpetru- 
ted, justifying and demanding military resistance. 

Need I argue to an intelligent people that the state of things rocommeuded l)y this document 
would inevitably lead to collisions and civil war, the end and consequences of which no man can. 
jiredict. While it purports to be addressed to the people of the State generally, it is intended for 
those only who belong to the political organization which its authors assume to represent. Should 
its recommendations be followed, men belonging to other political organizations will feel their per- 
sonal and political safety endangered, and would be driven for purposes of self defence to resort to 
similar measures. Thus we should have two or more political parties in the State, armed and 
organized into military bodies, and all hopes of preventing collision and preserving peace and order, 
would be lost. Military organizations must be under the supervision and control of the constituted 
authorities of tho State. All others are illegal, unauthorized, and daiigerous to public peace. The 
constitutional right ot the people to l>ear arms for their own defense has not been and will not be 
infringed. But this does not cover the case or justify the formation of military organizations to 
hold the constituted authorities in check under the pretence that they are about to commit illegal 
or unconstitutional acts. When we consider that threats have already been made, in various parts 
of the State, of resisteiice to the execution of Federal authority, and that the public mind is already 
jii an excited and feverish condition, it may well be thought that these proposed military organiza- 
tion are designated for that purpose and will be used iu that way ; and this view is greatly 
strengthened by reference to tho preamble of tho address. 

I do, therefore, solemnly warn the peoi)le of the State against accepting the evil counsel they 
have received ; to abstain "from all military organizations looking, directly or indirectly, to resist- 
ance to Fe(leral or State authority ; to abstain from all schemes of resistanse to the laws, and from 
all organizations or comldnations, political or military, tending to compromise them in their alle- 
giance and duty to the Government of the United States. The men who would inveigle them into 
snidi schemes or comliinations are powerless to protect them again.st danger, and would undoubtedly 
bo the first to desert them in a moment of peril. 

In vefeveuce to the concluding part of the addyes.s, it need only Ive said tbat the execution of tba

SECRET TREASONABLE ASSOCIATION'. 

Headquarteks Distuict op Indiana, > 
Indianapolis, lud., Oct. Gth, 18C4. j 

TO THE PEOPLE OF INDIANA. 

Keceut developments clearly .show that a secret armed a.ssociation exists in this State, formed for 
the purpose of aiding the rebellion against the United States. 

The primary object of this dangerous association is to break down the power of the present ad- 
ministration in the prosecution of the war, and aid the rebellion by force, fraud and violence. For 
this purpose large numbers of rebels from the armies of the South, under the name and guise of 
llefugee.*, have been sent to this State to co-operate with this treasonable association. Arms and 
ammunition, to a large amount, have been secretly imported, and placed in the hands of these bad 
jneii ; and unless their designs are speedily checked, ruin and the "desolation tliat follows ia tho 
footsteps of war" will soon spread throughout the State In the counties of Martia, Orange, Craw- 
ford, Marshal and other localities, they have concentrated by hundreds, defied tho laws, tired upon 
and killed enrolling officers, and wounded law-abiding citizens, and robbed them of their jiroperty, 
with the avowed determination of aiding the rebellion. This cannot continue without civil war in 
our midst. 

I, therefore, earnestly appeal to all the good people of the State to aid me in suppressing theso 
unholy combinations against their peace and future happiness. "To do this, the association above^ 
named must be at once disbamlcd, and their principal leaders brought to justice. Eebels must be 
closely watched, and wherever they attemjit to interfere with the rights of the jieoplf, speedily 
punished. Any further tetaporizing would be cruelty to the people of the State. The military au- 
thorities, under my command, will not attempt to interfere with the freedom of the elective fran- 
chise, in the coming elections, but it is their duty to aid the civil authorities in maintaiuing the 
purity of the ballot bo.x and enforcing the laws. If any attempt is made by the secret armed foes 
of the country to control the elections by force, the offenders will be arrested and sent to these- 
Headquarters, for trial.

A Couys OF AuMv Surgeons. — Experience has proved that two Surgeons allowed to each regiment 
are iiieslficient to give ttat care and attention to tlie wounded that is necessary after a great battle 
Ihas fceen fought. With a view to remedy this defect so far as Indiana troops are concerned. Gover- 
nor MoETON v-ill to-day commence mating appointments for a corps of Army Surgeons, w'o will 
immediately proceed to Uie Field of ShiUdi and report for acVive duty. Two additional Assistant 
Surgeons will be appointed for each legiment, and as Indiana has now tweoty-four regiments in 
that vicinity the number of Surgeons to be oppointed wiill be forty-eight. 

It is thought four Surgeons to a regiment will be ample to dress the wounds on the field, should 
another fight occur, and also care for those of our sick and wounded in the regimental aisd post hos- 
pitals. This action on tiie part of Governor Morton will meet with the hearty approval of the 
b-umane everywhere, and we trust that the Executives of other States will follow his example.— /h- 
■dianapclie -JiMrnal, April22, 1802. 

[Note. — The action of Governor Morton in sending additional Surgeons to the field, was received 
with great approbation by the Army, and the attention of Congress having been called to it, au 
act was passed, (approved July 2, 1802) which provided : That instead of " one Assistant Surgeon," 
.as provided by the second section of the act of July 22, 18G1, each regiment of volunteers in the 
service of the United States shall have two Assistant Surgeons. — W. II. II. Terrell, Adjutant

INCREASE OF PAY OF PRIVATE SOLDIERS. 

To llie Betiators and liepresentatives in the Congress of the United States : 

The undersigned respectfully represents that, from an intimate knowledge of the condition, wants 
and necessities of a large portion of the men composing the army of the United States, he is fully 
impressed with the belief that the pay of private soldiers should be increased, so as to make it bear 
n proper proportion to the increased cost of all the necessaries of life. The present pi\y of a private 
is thirteen dollars per oaonth, or one hundred and fifty-six dollars a year. From this sum, a con- 
siderable portion must be deducted for the purchase of articles not furnished by the regulations, but 
which the soldier deetas necessary to his health or comfort. Should the balance be remitted to his 
family iu iestalments as it is paid him, it will fall far short of furnishing a support. To the monthly 
pay a bounty of one hundred dollars is to be added. To the old regiments this is not to be paid until 
.the final discharge, or upon the death of the soldier. To the new regiments twenty-fivd dollars of 
the amount were paid in advance, t.he balance remainiug unpaid until final discharge or death. As 
the final payment of tiie bounty depends upon the good conduct of the soldier, and is subject to 
•contingencies, it can hardly be coEsidered as a means, or source of credit, for the current support of 
a family. It a'Ust be retuembered that a large proportion of the seldiers composing the volunteer 
armies of the United States are men of f;uiiily, upon v/hose labor v/ives, childreo, and parents, are 
-flependent for SBitport. Should not their labor be so paid for as to make it sufficient fairly to yield 
that support it would do if they were at home and engaged in private pursuits ? They did not enter 
the aroiiy to make money, and do not desire to do so, hut they do ast that they shall recieve such x, 
':;onipeasation as will support in decency ajid comfort, the dependent ones they leave behind. The 
jirice of labor throughout the Northern States has gristly advanced since the coiiiiaencemeut of the 
w.-ar, and it is suboiitted that, aside froni all questions of family sujjport, and as a matter of simple 
justice, the compeusatiou to our soldiers should be increased. Their labor is, of all other, the 
iiardest, to whicli should be added the great danger of death from battle, hardship, and disease. 
Men tell our recruiting officers every day — they would go into the army, hut the jjay allowed by the 
Oovernment is iusufiicieut for the support of their faaiilies, and they dare not leave them to the 
precarious charities of the public. 

TJie following statement of prices at Iniliiinapolis, Indiana, v/ill show the relative cost of various 
Seading articles on the Gth of August, IS'.U, when the present rate of pay was established, and the

Kroni the abo\e statement it will be seen that the cost of articles of prime necessity in clotliing 
and furnishing a family has been increased one hundred and twenty per cent., while provisions and 
;;roceries have increased in price not less than sixty per cent. It will be entirely safe to say that 
the cost of liviiiK, in the most economical style, throughout the Nortliern Stales, has increased at 
leiist seventy-five per cent, within tlie last fifteen months, and prices are still advancing. Thus, 
light dollars per month in August, ISiil, would have been a better compensation, and gone farther 
in maintaining a family, than thirteen dollars per montli in November, 18()2. .Soldiers are paid in 
treasury notes at par, and as these notes liave depreciated thirtj per Cent , as shown by the price of 
goM, their pay, from this fact alone, is substantially reduced to nine dollars per month. 

It may be urged in objection to tlie measure proposed that it will greatly increase the expendi- 
tures of the (iovernnient and add to tiie public delil. In my judgment, it would prove to be sound 
I'conomy. It would increase tlie etlicieney of the army, prevent desertions, encourage volunteering, 
and perhaps avoid the necessity of another draft to till up the old and dei)leted regimentg. Deser- 
tion is becoming frequent, and tlireatens the demoralization and destruction of the army unless it 
lie promjitly arrested. The most potent cause of desertion is tlie condition of the soldier's family 
at home. He recieves letters from his wife, children, or parents, announcing that they are destitute 
of food, fuel, clothing, or are about to be turned out ot" doors for non-payment of rent, and that 
their neighbors are failing to provide for them, as they are able, and ought to do. He becomes mad- 
dened and desperate, and tinding a furlough impossible, desertion is frequently the result. 

Whatever contributes to the speedy termination of the war, is economy on a large scale. Our 
lioprs for peace and a restored country are founded upon the success of our armies, and it is believed 
ihat nothing would add to the efficiency and success of our arms so much as doing justice to the 
Boliliers by increasing their paj'. 

T beg to ask your early and serious consideration of this subject. 

OLIVER P. MORTON, Governor of Indiana.

RELIEF OF SOLDIERS IN THE FIELD. 

To the I'atriotic Women of Indiana : 

When the President issued his first call to tlie loyal States for help, the Government was unpro- 
vided with most, if not all, the articles necessary to the comfort and health of soldiers in the camp 
and the field. The women of Indiana were appealed to, and they supplieii the deficiency in our 
State with a generous alacrity that entitles them to the gratitude of the nation. Tlie approach of 
winter makes it necessary to appeal to them again. Our volunteers, already suffering from expos- 
ure, against which they are very inadequately protected, will soon ba compelled to endure the 
utmost severity of winter and multiplied dangers of disease. The Government is doing all that can 
bo doni! for them, but when all is done they must lack many of the comforts which men in ordinary 
pursuits enjoy, and which soldiers need above all others. Many articles of clothing that, to men 
with houses over their heads and warm fires always near, are hardly more than a luxury, to men 
with no protection but a tent, no bed but the ground, and whose duty must be performed under the 
unabated vigor of the winter, are absolutely necessaries. They may save many lives that will 
surely be lost without them. These the patriotic women of Indiana, it is hoped, will supply. 

An additional blanket to every man in our army will jireserve hundreds to the country and to 
their families. Two or three pairs of good strong socks will be invaluable to men who must often 
march all day in snow, and without them must lie down with cold and benumbed feet on the frozen 
irround. Good woolen gloves or mittens will protect their hands in marching, and in handling 
their arms, and, while adding greatly to their comfort, will materially increase their efficiency. 
Woolen drawers and shirts, too, are a necessity to men exposed to such vicissitudes of weather as 
soldiers. All these articles the Indiana soldiers ought to have now, and must before winter sets in, 
if we would protect them from exposure and disease, that may bo averted by this timely prepara- 
tion. Some of these articles the Government does not furnish, and others not in sufficient quanti- 
ties to supply the waste produced by the exposure of a soldier's life. Blankets cannot be purchased. 
The stock is completely exhausted, and the Government is soliciting contributions from the citizens. 

Will not the women of Indiana do their share in providing for the men of Indiana on the battle- 
tield ? An hour of each day, for a week, given to the manufacture of the articles, named will pro- 
vide an ample store. Are they not ready to give that, and more if needed? I urge upon them the 
duty of promptly beginning the work. Let them at once forward, at the State's expense, to the 
State Quartermaster, such blankets as they can spare. They will ho immediately and carefully 
sent to such regiments as the donors prefer, if they have any preference. Let them singly, or by 
associations, set about the manufacture of woolen shirts, drawers, socks and gloves. The sewing 
societies of our churches have hero a field for exertion wider and grander than they will ever find 
again. Will thej' not give their associations, for a time, to this benificent object? The numerous 
Female Benevolent Societies, by giving their energies and organizations to this work, can speedily 



348 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

provide the ncci'.ssary supply. Let women through the country, who have uo opporluuity to join 
Kucli associations, emulate each other in tlieir hibors, and seo who shall do most for their country 
and their defenders in this hour of trial. 

The articles should be sent to the Quartermaster, with a card, stating the name and the residonc 
of the donor, and their destination, if they have any choice. The name will be recorded and pn- 
served with the number aud kind of articles sent. The women alone can meet this emergency, and 
to them our volunteers, as well as the Government, look for sympathy and aid.

DONATIONS FOR INDIANA TROOPS. 

Qdartkumaster Gi:neral"s DK.i'Ar.Tiir.NT, Indiana VoM'N'TKc.its, 1 
Inuianai'oms, October 23, ISUl. ) 

2'u Ike Donors of Clothing for the Indiana Troops: 

The sympathies of the people of our State having become warmly enlisted in b 'half of onr 
troops in the field, and donations for their use rapidly coming in. the (inartermaster General tinds 
it necessary to adopt this method of answering numerous inquiries, verbally and by letter, as to 
the manner in which such articles should be prepared for transporting to this Department. 

The following hints and directions are therefore submitted : 

Donations should mainly consist of blankets, socks, gloves or mittens, woolen shirts, and neck 
comforts; heavier articles of clothing are furnished by Government, in sufficient quantities. Hos- 
pital supplies, and especially delicacies, are not solicited; both, because of the difficulty of trans- 
porting them safely, aud because, as a full supply is not to be expected, a limited one, it is believed, 
will not on the whole, promote the comfort or contentment of the soldiers. The Government fur- 
nishes all necessaries belonging to the Hospital Department, with abundant liberality. 

Packages should be put up in compact bunulks, (unless the quantity is sufficient to fiU a large 
box,) directed to the Quartermaster General, with the contents marked outside, and the name of 
the donor. Also, when there is a preference of that kind, state the name of the soldier or company 
for whom the donation is intended. When no such direction is given, the Quartermaster General 
will make the distribution according to his best judgment. 

Let all marking and writing, especially of names, be plain and legible. 

Deliver packages to the nearest E.\presa or Freight Office ; generally no charge w ill be made for 
transportation to this point. A careful record will be kept in this Department, of all goods received 
and from whom, and immediately on their arrival, receipts for the same will be sent to the donors 
by mail. 

Whenever a sufficient quality accumulates, they will be sent in charge of a trusty messenger to 
their proper destination, who will superintend their distribution in person. On this account, 
donors are urgently advised to avail themselves of the agency of this Department in conveying tlieir 
gifts to the proper objects, inasmuch as the camps are constantly changing their locations, and are 
frequently aside from the main lines of travel. Delay and loss of small packages, sent separately, 
are thus almost certain to happen, while by the course hitherto pursued by this Department which 
is the one above indicated, no goods forwarded to our soldiers from it have yet beeu lost or unneces- 
aarily delayed. 

Finally, it is earnestly to be hoped that the rapid approach of the cold season, will admonish the 
benevolent of our State to use all possible expedition in forwarding to this Department the benefac- 
tions they design to make.

Vou are again appealed to for contributions of Hospital Supplies for our sick and wounded vol- 
unteers. Nearly oi>quite one thousand of brave Hoosier boys were wounded in the recent battle at 
Pittsburg Landing, and are being brought to the hospitals in this State. They require comforts 
and luxuries which you can afford them. Let the appeal not be in vain. 

The Sanitary Committee here, of which Mr. Hannaman is President, and Alfred Harrison, Esq., 
Treasurer, has charge of collecting and distributing supplies to points where most needed. 

The articles particularly required, are the following : Woolen and cotten undershirts and drawers, 
pillows, pillow slips, narrow sheets, towels, handkerchiefs, bandages, lint, comps, cake soap, jellies, 
canned fruits, etc. 

All supplies should be carefully packed in boxes and duplicate invoices made, one copy put in the 
box, and the other mailed to W. Ilannaman, Esq., President of the Sanitary Committee. All mon- 
ey should be sent to Alfred Harrison, Esq.

AID FOR SOLDIERS' FAMILIES. 

AN APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF INDIANA. 

ExECVTIVE Depahtmf.nt, > 
IiHiianapolip, Ind., Nov. 14, 18ii2. ) 

Indiinin has nt ttiis time iirarly one hundred thousand of her eons in tho fir-hl, enduring the harrt- 
^Jiips and privations incident to the life of soldiers. They have gone forth at the call of tlieir coun- 
Iry to defend with the ii lives the Constitution and Government under which we live. Tliousands of 
these brave and patriotic men have left behind them families, with temporary provisions only for 
their support. In many cases these families, during the approaching winter, will be in need of the 
ordinary comforts and necessaries of life, and destitute of the means of procuring tliem Many of 
them are too spirited to ask for assistance ; others, unless some system is adopted for their relief, 
will not know where to appl)'. The soldier's pay is often long delayed, his own necessities require 
a portion of it, and the remainder is frequently greatly delayed in being transmitted to his family. 
It requires no argument to prove that, even if he sends all his money home, one hundred and fifty- 
six dollars a year is a very scanty support for a family, especially at this season of liigh prices. In 
many places business of all kinds is so much prostrated that those who can and are willing to labor 
are unable to find employment. Everything bears a liigh price and everything is cash. 

The truth of what bus been stated must be apparent to every one, and it remains with thn patri- 
otic and liberal citizens of the State to apply the proper remedy. It is their solemn duty to see 
that the needy are cared for ; that, while the soldier is braving the perils of the battle-field, his wife 
and children and all who are dependent on him are made comfortable at home; and especially that 
his children are provided with books and afforded opportunity to attend school. This is not cfiarity 
— but a sacred obligation, which should be met promptly, and willingly, and the recipients should 
be made to feel ttiat they are not objects of charity, and that what they receive is but the partial 
diKcharge of a debt of the most binding character. 

It may be urged by many that thiy liave already given largely and sacrificed heavily for these 
benevolent objects, and hence that they ought to be excused from further drafts. It may be asked, 
in reply, what are these sacrifices compared with the sacrifices of families who have given their nat- 
ural supporters and protectors to the cause of their contitry? What is the sacrifice of the man 
living comfortably at home, even though he give half his income, to that of the man who has left 
his family and home and gone to the field ? 

The land is full of wealth, the harvest has been bountiful, and tliere can be no reasonable excuse 
for allowing the needy to suffer in a country like this. 

I would therefore respectfully and earnestly request, that in every township, in every town, and 
in every ward of the several cities in the State, some systematic plan, by means of regularly organ- 
ized committees or auxiliary Aid Societies, be at once adopted for relief. 

To Ministers of the Gospel 1 woiild say : No nobler work than this can engage the time you may 
liavc at your disposal Much can be done by appeals from the pulpit and by personal elfoVtg with 
the peo]ile; by visiting the families of soldiers, ascertaining tlieir wants, and seeing that they are 
regularly supplied. 

The Township Trustees in the several counties, on account of their familiarity with local affairs, 
will be able to render great assistance in tlie humane work, by giving a portion of their time and 
eltorts to the relief of the needy and destitute. 

In all niHiisuresof relief which may be adopted I most respectfully and confidently bespeak the 
hearty aid and co-operation of the noble women of Indiana, .\ctuated by the purest patriotism, 
and always foremost in deeds of love and mercy, they may here find a extensive field for the exercise 
of many kindly oflices to the advantage and comfort of the distressed; their words of encourage- 
ment will cheer the hearts of the drooping and disconsolate, and tlieir example will lead others to 
undertake the same got d work.

RELIEF FOR SICK AND WOUNDED SOLDIERS. 

To the People of Indiana : 

The demands uoon tho Indiana State Sanitary Commission for money and supplies for the relief 
of our sick and wounded soldiers, have of late greatly increased, owing to the recent important and 
bloody battles in Georgia and Virginia. The work performed by the Commission, through its efficient 
ami self-sacrificing agents, who are constantly visiting tho hospitals and battle-fields, has been of 
t!ie greatest benefit to our cause, and the relief thus afforded to our brave and suffeiing soldiers is 
rredilable to humanity and the enlightened age in vvhi('h we live. 

But the commission cannot carry forward the great work they have undertaken without money, 
and I know that the patriotic and loyal peopli> of Indiana need only to learn that assistance is 
required and that their contributions will be faithfully applied, to insure a prompt and lilicral 
response. Our soldiers, who liave been stricken down by battle and disease, are entitled to every 
care and all the relief that kindness and humanity cau suggest. I tlierefore app 'al to the good people 
of the State to unite in a systematic effort on (or before) the Fourth tlnij of Jvhjnext, in their resjiective 
cities, towns and neighborhoods, to procure /Knds and supplies, and that the same be sent as soon as 
practicable, by express, to \Vili.i.\m Han.vaman, Esq., President of Indiana Sanitary Commission, 
at this place, who will prompt'y acknowledge the receijit of the same. The supplies most needed 
are underclothing, bandages, lint, towels, sheets, pillows, pilloic-slips, dried and canned fmits. Vegetables 
and other articles of diet need not be tent, a» these can bo purchased more advantageously by tho 
Commission.

RELIEF OF SOLDIERS' FAMILIES. 

The eviilenco comt-s to me from every part of tlie State that many of the wives, children and 
parents of our soldiers, are destitute of the necessaries of life, and must greatly suffer tiiileH.s imme- 
diately provided for. Let me again earnestly entreat the patriotic, humane and C'liri-itian luopio ol 
Indiana to at once make ample provision for all who are dependent upon our soldiers tor support 
and comfort. And let mo entreat them not to wait until they are called upon for reiiel', but };" 
about in their several communities and seek out the needy and the suffering. 

Some of these are unable to eive notice of their condition, and know not where to apply for relief, 
while others are too proud or too sensitive to ask for that which should have been freely olfered by 
a patriotic and Christian people. Let me especially entreat the clergy of the various denominations 
to address themselves systematically to this jjreat work of velisious and patriotic duty, and by 
thorough visitation and imniiry, make themselves acquainted witli every family in need in the 
neighborhood in which they live, and then make earnest appeals to the con;j;regatiuns to supply the 
wants which they have discovered, tn this way 1 am assured that they can accomplish more thnw 
any other class of men. 

And again, let me appeal to the various county and city authorities throughout the Slate, tn 
make ample appropriations for the relief of soldiers' families in their re^pective jurisdiction. Some, 
it is true, have made liberal provisions, others liave done nothing, and others again have taken 
action which comes far short of meeting actual necessities. 

Kveiy consideration of patriotic duty, humanity. Christian obligation, and the honor of our 
people, enjoins it alike upon our authorities ami" our citiKens tliat no soldier's family shall be 
permitted to want for the neces8ari"S and comforts of life in a State overflowing with prosperity and 
aliutidance.

State who have been or shall be disabled in the ser"«ice of the country. 

2. That such home should afford ample provision for the personal comfort and intellectual, mora5 
and religious wants of its inmates. 

.{. That at this early stage of the movement it is impracticable to adopt a plan of organisation ii? 
dclail ; but the important matter novr is to present to the people the great idea of providing :« 
Home for our disabled defenders, and solicit their contributions, leaving matters of detail, and tin- 
questions whether tbo enterprise shall also embrace an asylum for the children of so)<liers and a 
soldiers' cemetery to be determined hereafter, when a permanent organization shall have beeu 
effected, and when the response of the people in the shape of contributions will render it practica- 
ble to settle these matters. 

4. That a Temporary State organization should he effected under the name of Indian.^ Soldiers' 
and Seamens' Home Association, and that a Board of Managers for the .^ssociition be appointed by 
this meeting to consist of a President and eleven members, one of saiil members to be from each 
t'ongressional District of the State, and that the Coventor shall be President of the said Board. 

r>. That a Treasurer, Secretary, and Financial Agent of the Association shall also be appointed

That until a meeting of said Board can be convened, said duties may be teinpvTarily proscribed by 
the President. 

1). That a committee of four persons be appointed to prepare a bill to be presented to the Geoeral 
Assembly at its next session, making a provision for the incorporation of the .\ssociation. 

7. That the people be invited to form auxiliary societies in every county in the State, and to 
solicit contributions to the enterprise, and that every person who shall contribute one dollar or 
more, shall be a member of the Soldiers' Home Association ; that the name of every such contribu- 
tor, with the amount contributed, be recorded, and a transcript of such record be furnished to the 
parent Association. 

8. That the Home shall not be located until a permanent organization be effected, nor until tho 
advantages and inducements offered by each point suggested shall have been considered, and in 
making a permanent organization each auxiliary Association shall have a voice in selecting the 
Board of Managers, Directors, or Trustees, in proportion to the amount contributed respectively.

ADJUTANT GENERAL S REPORT. 



9. That the Temporary Board of Managers provided for by the fourth resolution, make Buch 
Jfurther rules aud regulations as may, in tlieir judgement, be necessary to collect the names and 
■obtain the information required to secure a speedy, permanent organization, and the success of the 
vuterprise. 

111. Tiiat in conducting the affairs of the Association, the most rigid economy should be practised, 
to the end that every dollar contributed may, so far as possible, be applied to the main object, vi/. : 
the establishment of the Home. 

11. Tlie au.xiliary societies which may be formed, and friends of the enterprise throughout the 
Slate, be requested to communicate to the temporary Board of Managers, provided for by the fourth 
resolution, their views as to the details which should in their judgetnent be embodied in the organi- 
sation and operations of the Institution, when it comes to be permanently organised and estab- 
li.^hed, to the end that such views may be submitted to any meeting of delegates representing all 
the contributors which may be called to effect a permanent organization. 

12. 'I'hat circulars emb dying plans for the ortrauization and working of auxiliary associations 
bo prepared and distributed by the Financial Agent and the Directions of the Board of Managers. 

In accordance vitb. the fourth and fifth resolutions, tlie following Officers aud Directors were 
elected : 

President of Board of Directors Governor 0. P. Mortou. 

Treasurer James M. Uay. 

J^ecretary ...„., , William Ilannamau. 

Financial Agent John Hogarth Loeier. 

First Congressional District, Samuel Orr, of Evansvillo. 

Second Congressional District, Jesse J. BrowQ, of New Albany. 

Third Congressional District, Joseph I. Irwin, of Columbus 

Fourth Congressional District, Major Will Cumback, of Greensburg. 

Fifth Congressional District, General William Grose, of New Castle. 

Sixth Congressional District, Colonel John Coburn of Indianapolis. 

Seventh Congressional District, Hon. John A. Matson, of Greencastle. 

P]ighth CoDgressional District, Colonel Samuel KirUpatrick, of Lafayette. 

Ninth Congressional District, Hon. John B. Niles, of Laporte. 

Tenth Congressional District, Hon. Isaac Jenkinson, of Fort Wayne. 

Eleventh Congressional District, Hon. John U. Pettit, of Wabash. 
In accordance with my duty as Secretaiy I inclose to you the circu!«r of our President, Governor 
Morton, and tnut of the Financial Agent, Major Lo/.ier, and also a form for a constitution for a 
Branch that your people may organize. Additional by-laws may be adopted by Branch Societies, 
if desirable. 

I shall send similar Circulars to the other clergymen in your vicinity, so far as I may be able to 
obtain their address, and the Lodges of Free Masons and Odd Fellows will also be appealed to in 
this behalf. It is desired that yourself, and others who may be addressed, confer with each other 
and agree upon some plan of operations that will reach all the people in your community. 

It is our desire to erect a subsfanrial "HoHie" for our noble Indiana boys who are disabled. W^e 
■want to procure ample lands and erect a building, and so furnish it and beautify its surroundings 
that it will be indeed an inviling retreat for our nolde men. We do not want to be so cramped in 
our resources as to be obliged to fit up an establishment that will look like a "Poor House," but we 
owe it to our Indiana boys that they be permitted to occupy one of the best and most comfortable 
buildings that Indiana has within her borders. 

Other States are moving in this matter. Their "Homes" for their shattered veterans will be their 
pride and boast in coming years. Indiana was never behind her sister States when there was fight- 
ing to be done. Shall she be behind them in caring for those whose valor has made the name of 
Indiana an honor througliout the eutire nation?

MEMORIAL. 
To the General AssentUi/ of the Stale of Indiana : 

The undersigned, officers and soldiers of the Indiana Volunteer Kegiments, submitting with pa- 
triotic self-denial to the policy which denied us a voice in the late election, and approving the wis- 
dom of that f^'ature of our Government which secures the civil from the inlluence of the military 
|iower, nevertheless desire to participate in the preliminary councils which are to shape the popular 
ideas of the State, and consequently to control the actions of its Kepresentatives in the General 
Assembly. We speak, as soldiers, because our lives are staked upon the issue of the present strug- 
gle ; as citizens, because, at no distant day, those of us who survive are to share with you tlie 
responsibilities of citixenship, and to experience, in common with the people at home, the results 
of yonr present deliberations. 

Whatever prejudice may exist against any interference of the military in the affairs of State, cer- 
tainly even the most vigilent guardian of the public interest could not expect the army to await 
with indifference the result of deliberations which involve not only the common interests of the 
jieople, but also the lives and fortunes of those who have taken up arms to defend the integrity of 
the Union in a contest with our common foe in the field. 

Defeat strips the citizen of his fortune and political enjoyment ; the soldier of both these, and his 
honor, and, it may be his life. 

It requires no argument to convince an intelligent mind that a war sustained by a united people, 
and waged with that energy and determination which proceeds only from undivided councils, pre- 
sents a less fearful array of casualties, with a better hope of success, than a sluggish contest waged 
by a party, and merely sustained in the w rangling of contending factions at home. In other words, 
it requires more lives to sustain a government hampered and restricted by the jealousy of a political 
party, than to sustain one supported by the voice of a united people; as well might you expect thf 
fettered victim to struggle successfully with his untrammeled oppressor, as to hope for a nation to 
subdue its enemies when its energies are cramped by the unwise restrictions of a doubting majority. 

To live in spite of disease, every function must be characterized by the utmost vigor, and all mus! 
unite against the enemy who seeks in the destruction of one the certain ruin of the whole. 

Believing then that, as soldiers, we have a deeper interest in the present struggle than you can. 
possibly have, as citizens; and farther, that the influences of military life have not unfitted us for 
the high duties of citizeuship, present ourselves before your Honorable Body as petitioners, witlioul 
apology. 

Wo come boldly, asking only what we have a right to expect, either as citizens, or soldiers bat- 
tling for the integrity of the I'nion. We ask simply that you will give this war a cheerful an<l 
hearty support ; that you will strengthen and energize every department of Government, that thi? 
unhappy struggle may be pressed to a successful termination ; that you will jiour out the treasure 
of the State as your soldiers have poured out their blood on the field of battle, to aid in the holy 
cause of restoring the Union of our fathers ; that you will abstain from heated political discussions 
and violent party wranglings, until the authority of the Government is once more established ; 
that you will resist the infernal spirit that would waste victory in humiliating compromise, or 
render ten:porary reverses a pretext for the alienation of an nnoffendingcommuuity ; that you will 
sacrifice every thing, except liberty and political equality, to national integrity ; that you will sus- 
tain all the officers of the State anil General Government in their efforts to subdue this unholy re- 
bellion ; and especially that you will sustain our worthy Governor, whoso every energy, during the 
past two years, has been so entirely devoted to the cause of the Government and its supporters. 

We appeal to you, especially, to sustain him for the reason that it is chielly to his unceasing care 
and labor, exhibited in arming and supporting the troops of Indiana, that we have to attribuieour 
present proud position among the loyal States of the Union, and for the further reason, that ho has 
demonstrated by his acts that he is an earnest and zealous patriot, devoting his time with untiring 
energy to the glorious cause for which we are battling. 

We appeal to you, as our representatives, to encourage him in the good work of ministering to 
the wants of our unfortunate comrades, who have been stricken down in the strife of the battle

ties at home, or to afford consolation and hope to our enemies in arms, and that we will co-operate 
only with those who will stand by the Union, and by those who are fighting the battles of the Union. 
5. Resolved, That we tender to His Excellenry, Governor 0. P. Morton, the thanks of his grate-

MEMORIAL OP THE THIRTY-FOURTH INDIANA VOLUNTEEUS- 
" MORTON RIFLES." 

Camp ok the Mobton Riflks, > 

OUT-rOST NEAR HELENA, AuK., Feb. 6, 18C3. / 
To the General Afsemlly of the State of Indiana : 




We beg leave to remind von that, while-we have no vote, our whole interest, posses.«ions, estates, 
and affections remain in Indiana; and that we have increasfd, instead of diminished by our suHer- 
iugs and exposure, our love of, and admiration for, all that is dear to the heart of man-home and 
■itonntry ; end that xVhilc we are offering crurKvesand endangering our health to preserve all the 



STATISTICS AND DOCUMENTS. 355 

honor, glory, and jtn'atncss wo, as a natimi, possess, we nre joalous lest tlioso wluiin xre cluitu retort' 
xfiU 111, whether wiliiiitcly oi <iiiwilliiij;ly mi nnr part, should eomniit any act which shouhl tiii.l in 
till' least to spirit away the lilessiiiifs of the liiiioii aiiil a fre(> Government. 

We then ask your honoralile body that, in your discussions, nothing of a parti/an tharac !■ r 
may h ■ made maiiil'est ; that you will bury party and party strife, and, uniting, give your whole 
t.ilent, energy and Keal in support of the Govornnieiit, and for a more vigorous prosecution r.f tlie 
war for the maintenance of the Union. 

We, your constituents, can never see a star blotted out from the galaxy of the rnion, nor any 
ciatioii now "xisting, or hereafter to exist, occupy and possess the natural outlet of the great vaUey 
of the Jlississijipi while we live to defend the one or have courage and strength to open and hold the 
other; nor can we consent to any compromise founded in dishonor. 

We earnestly desire peace, that we may be relieved from our toils and sufferings and once more 
oiyoy the comforts and pleasures of home; but it must be an honorablo peace, or ve .sh.ill scoft at 
it, and hold in derision and scorn its authors and originators. 

The clie ipest afid most lasting peace is one founded on sviccess ; while one founded on concessions, 
compromis.^s, and weakness is only transitory, false and debasing. 

To achieve the peace founded on success, we, as lovers of the Union, must be united and in 
earnest; united, because by divisions wo encour ge our foes, and build up in their hearts hojies 
and anticiiiations for the future; whereas, if we were united, they would bi' territied and appalled 
at the immense strength and power arrayed against them. 

We fhould be iu earnest, because the liistory of the world shows tliat one earnest man is wo;th 
three laggards. 

Then we ask of yon that you work earnestly and unitedly to do what you can to crush thi.s ri-bel- 
lion, furnishing all the means necessary, and looking at no expense, so that it may save our coun- 
try and give our children an undivided inheritance and a permanent peace. 

Especially do we ask that you would sustain cur present worthy Governor, who, since the com- 
mencement of this struggle, has devoted himself entirely to the great work of preserving intact the 
greatest and best republic that ever existed. 

We ask that you will, by liberal appropriation"", place the means in his hands to hurry to the 
field new troops, should they be called for, ami to coutinui^ the good work he has so nobly begun, 
which alike does credit to his head and heart, of looking alter Indiaua's sick and wounded, stricken 
by disease and the bullets of the enemy in distant tiidds, and removing them to comfortable hospi- 
tals in more genial climates; that you give him such authority to continue thi.s good work as you 
may think he requires; and, further, that >ou will, in our name and on our behalf, tender to him a 
public resolution of thanks for his extraordinary efforts for our comfort; and assure him that 
neither time nor the future corrupting influence of party spirit can ever estrange tho heart of th« 
soldier from the soldier's friend.

RESOLUTIONS OF THE SIXTY-SIXTH AND NINETY-THIRD REGI- 
MENTS INDIANA VOLUNTEERS. 

At a meeting held by the ofTicers and men of the Sixty-Sixth and Ninety-Third Kegiments Indi- 
ana Volunteers at Corinth, Slississippi, .lanuary Jilst, KSiia, fully expressing their views in regard 
to the traitorous conductor some of our Northi-rn politicians; 
WiiKiiEAS, Our Government is engaged in a struggle for tho perpetuation of every right dear to us 

as American citizens, and requires the united etlorts of all good, true and loyal men in its behalf; 
And Whi I!F..\8, We have beh< Id with feelings of sadness and regret the bitter partisan spirit that 

has b ccjm dangerously vindictive and malicious in our State, the tendency of which is to par- 
alyze and frustrate the plans of tho Federal and State authorities in their eiforts to suppress this 

impious rebellion ; therefore, 

Resched, That having pledged our most cherished earthly interests to the service of our common 
country in this hour of national peril, we ask our fri>nd.s and neighbors at home to lay aside all 
petty jealousies and party animosities, anil, as one man, stand by us in upholding the President in 
his war measures in maintaining the authority and dignity of the Government, and in unfurling 
again the glorious emblem of our nationality over every city and hamlet in tho South. 

Itesnli;t<l, That we have watched the traitorous conduct of ihose members of the Legislature of 
Indiana who, misrepresenting their constituency, have be<'n proposing a succession of hostilities, 
ostensibly to arrange terms of peace, but really to give time for the nearly exhausted rebels to 
recover strei gth, and plotting to divest (Jovernor Morton of the rights vest(;d in him by our State 
Coii«titntii>n and laws, and to them we calmly and firmly say, beware of the terrible retribution 
that is falling upon your coadjutors at the South, ami as c rime is tenfold blacker, will swiftly "mite 
Jou with tenfold more horror should you persist in your damnable deeds of treason. 

liemilied. That in tendering our thanks to Governor Morton and assuring him of our cordial sup- 
port iu his efl'orts to crush tliis inhuman rebellion, we are deeply and feelingly in earnest. We 
have left to the protection of the laws he is to enforce all that is dear to man — our wives, our chil- 
dren and <iur homes; and should the loathsome treason of madmen, who are trying to iS'rest from 
him a portion of his just autiiority, render it necessary, in his opinion, for us to return and crush 
out treason at home, we will promptly obey a proper order to do so ; for we despise a sneaking trai- 
tor in the rear more than open rebels in front. 

R.solied, That we hold in detestation and will ever execrate any men, who, iu this struggle for 
national life, oflers factious opposition to the State and Federal authorities it. their efl'oita and meas- 
ure" for the vigorous prosecution of the suppression of this Godless rebellion. 

llenoUcil, That we are opposed to all propositions of p'-ace and compromise, other than those prop- 
ositions which the Government has constantly ofTereil, viz : return to loyalty and obedience to law 
on a common level with the other States of the Union, with the Constitution as our fathers made it.

TO THE DEMOCKACY OF INDIANA, 

Having a deep interest in the future glory and welfare of our country, and beliering tnat we oc- 
cupy a position in which we can see the efiects of the political struggles at home upon the hopes and 
fears of the rebels, we deem it to be onr duty to speak to you openly and plainly in regard to the 
same. 

The rebels of the South are leaning on the Northern Beroocracy for support, and it is unfjuestion- 
ably true that unjustifiable opposition to the Administration is "giving aid and comfort to the en- 
emy." While it is the duty of patriots to oppose the usurpation of power, it is alike their duty to 
avoid captious criticisms, that might create the very evils which they attempt to avoid. 

Tlie name of Democrat, associated with all that is bright and glorious in the history of the past, i/> 
being sullied and disgraced by demagogues, who are appealing to the lowest prejudices and passion* 
of our people. We have nothing to expect from the South, and nothing to hope, witbotvt tlieir con- 
quest. They are now using tlieir money freely, to subsidize the press and politicians of the North, 
and with what effect, the tone of some of our journals, and the speeches of some of their leaders, 
to plainly and painfully testify. 

We see, with deep solicitude and regret, that there is an undercurrent in Indiana tending toward 
a coalition of the-Northwest with the South against the Eastern States. Be not deceived. Pause, 
for the love you bear to your country, and reflect. This movement is only a rebel scheme in disguise, 
that would involve you, alike with themselves, in the crime of rebellion, and bring to your own- 
hearthstones the desolation of a French Revolution. Separation on either side, with peace in the 
future, is impossible, and we are compelled by self-interest, by every principle- of honor, and every 
impulse of manhood, to bring this unholy contest to a successful termination. 

What 1 admit that we are whipped? That twenty-three millions of Northern men are uneqal to 
nine millions of the South ? Shame on the State that would entertain so disgraceful a proposition ' 
Shame upon the Democrat who would submit to it, and raise his cowardly voice and claim that he 
«as an Indianian ! lie, and such ^dastards, with their offspring, are fit " mud sills" upon which 
should be built the lordly structure of their Southern aristocracy ! And with whom would thiri 
unholy alliance be formed ? With men who have forgotten their fixthers, their oaths, their coun- 
try and their God ; with guerrillas, cotton-burners ; with those who force every male inhabitant of 
the South capable of bearing arms into the field, though starving wives and babes are left behind ! 
Men who persecute and hang, or drive from their lines, every man, woman and child who will no? 
fall down and worship the Southern god. And yet free-born men of our State will sympathize with 
such tryants, and dare even to dream of coalition ! Indiana's proud and loyal legions number at 
least seventy thousand effective men in the field, and, as with one great heart, we know they would 
repudiate all unholy combinations tending to the dismemberment of our Government. 

In this dark hour of our country's trial, there is but one road to success and peace, and that is li> 
he as firmly nnileiT for onr Gorcrnmenl as the rebels are against it. Small differences of opinion amount 
to n-jthing in this grand struggle for a nation's existence. Do not place even one straw in the way, 
and remember that cverj- word you speak to encouage the South, nerves the arm and strikes th(^ 
bhiw which is aimt'd at the heart's blood of our brothers and kindred.

EEPORT OF THE MILITARY COiMMITTEE ON ADJUTANT GEN- 
ERAL'S OFFICE. 

MADE TO THE IWUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, FEBRUARY •«, 1S05. 

Tiie Committee on Military Affairs, at the request of Adjutant General Terrell, have made au e.\- 
^luiination of his office, and beg leave to submit the following report: 

The Adjutant GeBeral's office is one of the most important iu the State government, especially to 
ehe soldiers in the field and to their representatives, relatives, and friends. 

The business of tliis ofSce, and property belonging to it, has been, and will coBtinue to be, im- 
snense, and the records, for years to come, will be of the greatest value. Independent of the State 
Militia, Indiana has furnished (not including volunteers raised under the present call of the Presi- 
dent) over Hi5,UU0 soldiers for the defense of the Union. All the records appertaining to this largo 
force, pr<sperly belonging to the Adjutant GeneraPs Oflice, as well as of recruits, drafted men, and 
substitutes, sent to old regiments and batteries — discharges, rausters-out, etc. 

Every vacancy, whether occurring by resignation, dismissal, death, discharge, or expiration of 
term of service, must be filled and new commissions issued. A complete record must, or at least 
•!<houM, be made of every muster-roll of each company mustered into the United States service, so 
that a record, authentic and complete, would alwaj's be found, from which the friends of the sol- 
diers of Indiana would always, for all time to come, be able to trace the history of their friends 
who have contributed to put down the rcbellioQ. 

\Ve find that a vast amount of unfinished and deferred work has accumulated, much of it run- 
oiing back to the beginning of the war — the records and rolls being incomplete, and the papers and 
files of the office beiug in a state of derangement and confusion. This condition of things is mainly 
«,ttributable to the great amount of business transacted through the office, and emergencies which 
liave existed, rendering it impracticable to systematize, arrange and complete the records promptly 
a.t the time. When the fact is considered that, independent of the "Legion," ladiana has furnish- 
ed so large a numberef volunteers for this war, and tuatall the records appertaining thereto belong to 
this office, it will not be regarded as strange that so large &n amount of important work should 
have been laid over for future arratsgement and record. 

Your Committee would, therefore, recommend to the Legislature that proper provision be made 
to enable the Adjutant General, not only to keep u.p the current work of the office, but to bring up 
-ind complete the defferred work; and also, to make out and cause to be pub.lished, as other public 
documents are published, a full and complete report of his office, which shall embrace a history of 
•every officer and soldier from the State who has enlisted in the army of the United States during 
Ibis war, and to this end, for the proper discharge of the labors of the ofBce, and for the proper 
security of the papers in charge of the Adjutant General, your Committee would respectfully sug- 
gest that more suitable rooias be provided for this important Ijranch of the Executive Department, 
and that sttch additional force bo furnished as may be necessary to discharge the duties of tUe office 
.as herein indicated. 

Under the present law, the rank and pay of the Adjatant General are not defined. This, wo 
think, should lie provided for. All appropiiatioiis from which money caa -te drawn for salaries and 
expenses of fhe oflice have been exhausted. It is abt'olntejj necessary, therefore, that the Legisla- 
aure make immediate provisios for these denaande. 

Your Committee ask that this report be referred to the Committee ou Ways and Means, with in- 
structions to investigate tlie matt<'r8 herein c-eferred to, aad report by bill or otherwise. — flonse

Mr. Parrish, Chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs, presented the following rejdirt : 

E.VAMINATIONSOF THE ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE. 
The Committees on Military Affairs of the two Houses, to which were referred the communication 
of the Adjutant General to the General Assembly, dated January 20, 18ii7, having carefully consid- 
ered the suggestiojw and recommendations presented iu the said communication, and having made 



358 



ADJUTANT GENERAL S REPORT. 



;iii r'xiiminatiiin of the Acljul;int Generiil's office on the '21st instant, with tlie view of obtaining 
ii\nre full am) complete information touching tlio inatti^rs referred to in the said communication, 
and the lahor performed, and wliich the interests of the State and her people rerjuiro should yet be 
liirformed in tliat branch of the Executive Department, beg leave to submit the following joint 
report : 

ADJUTANT GKNERAL'S PKINTED KEPOKT. 

The report which the last General Assembly directed the Adjutant General to prepare and pub- 
lish, has been very nearly completed, only one volume yet remaining to bo issued. This report, show- 
ing the military record of each nuvn sent by Indiana to assist in crushing the great rebellion, is one 
of the most valuable and interesting of all the publicatious ever undertaken by the State. It is not 
an ephemeial production, but will increase in interest and value until long after all those of whose 
services it tells shall have passed away, and the thanks of this and the coming generatioTis will 
always he due to the last General Assembly for having this g''f'iit work complete!? before it has 
liecome too late. 

The Adjutaut,General recommends the publication of a supplementary volume, to contain such 
additions aud corrections as later information will enable him to make. From the incomplete con- 
dition of tlie records of the office, tliera are over twenty-two thousand men unaccounted fjr. Gen- • 
eral Terrell is using vigorous exertions to have these deficiencies supplied, and it is believed that, 
liy making copies of the Indiana rolls and records at the War Department, aud the continued use of 
iiieans already employed, that the history of every Indiana soldier can be rendered full and com- 
plete. The volume should also contain a register of all the men who lost their lives during the con- 
flict, with more extended histories of sucii men, giving place, date and cause of death, and jilace of 
liurial. A list of deserters and draft sneaks could also be inserted, and the record of all cowards 
:ind lecreants who disgraced the State be thus perpetuated. This recommendation strikes us very 
favorably, and we respectfully recommend that the contract with the State Printer be 
cxteiuled to embrace an additional volume, and the Adjutant General be directed to prepare it as 
suggested in his communication. So great and valuable a work should bo rendered as complete as 
possible. The Adjutant General also suggests the publication of the rolls of the Indiana Legion. 
While bis statement of the propriety of tliis publication is exceedingly forcible, we are not able to 
concur in the recommendation. Besides, the records of the Legion are complete, and the volume in 
question could be prepared at some future time, when the necessary expenditures of the State Gov- 
ernment are not so heavy. We are also compelled to report unfavorably upon the suggestion for 
l)ublishing the first volume in the German language, and for a similar reason to that stated in the 
preceding case. We cannot leave this subject without mentioning the ability and industry with 
which this War Record of Indiana has been prepared. Few men have any adequate conception of 
the labor involved in such a work. The thanks of the State are due General Terrell for the masterly 
nuinner in which the work has been issued. The State will always feel proud of this history, and 
her gratitude be ever due the Legislature which ordered it, and the Adjutant General who 
prepared it. 

BUSINESS OF THE ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE. 

The business transacted through this office is varied and extensive. No other department of thc> 
State Government has such a multiplicity Of duties to perform, nor duties of greater value and 
importance to the people of the State at this time. The nature and extent of the dnties has been 
so succintly and compactly stated in the communication of the Adjutant General that we deem it 
unnecessary to speak of them liere, further than to refer to the communication (pages 8, 9 and 10,) 
and endorse the correctness of the statements, and approve all the propositions there presented. 
Wo desire to state, however, our great satisfaction at the simplicity and neatness with which the 
valuable records of the office have been arranged. The rolls and records are so distributed that any 
document wanted for reference can be found in a moment's time. The records are also well pro- 
tected in stout boxes, so that tliey can suffer no damage except by handling when required for ref- 
erence. We desire also to commend the clearness aud completeness witli which all the transactions 
of the office are recorded. Tlie letter books, telegram books, registers of certificates and transcripts, 
registers of commissions, daily journal of everything done in the office, and other books, are models 
of their kind, and being fully indexed, both by names and subjects, can be referred to with great 
facility. A record of every transaction is kept, so that one need not be an expert in the affiiirs of 
the office to tell what has been done, as nothing is trusted to memory, but made a matter of record, 
and all the doings of this office can be referred to with certainty at any time. 

We desire also to express our appreciation aud approbation of the efforts made by General Terrell 
towards obtaining missing rolls and other data in which the records of the office are deficient. His 
use of all n^MUS at his command appears to have been thorough and exhaustive, aud he has been 
rewarded with very considerable success. 

A very great deal of labor in the office in the way of making up the records, as wi 11 as in keeping 
up the current correspondence, issuing certificates, transcripts, and furnishing other informatioia 
of importance to soldiers and their representatives, yet remains to be done, and with the extr» 
dnties relating to the adjustment of our war claims with the United States (referred to hereafter,) 
will require the office to be kept open, with about the same force as at present employed, for the 
next two years. 

In leaving this branch of the subject, we have only to mention Jhat the work required of tb» 
Adjutant General's office has been promptly, faithfully and efficiently performed, aud its affairs 
administered with economy, ability, and eittiri' success. 

INDIANA WAR CLAIMS. 
In addition to his proper duties, the settlement of the claims of the State against the general 
Government for expenses incurred on account of the war, has also been entrusted to the Adjutant 
General. In regard to the peculiar fitness of General Terrell to prosecute this important work, it is 
only necessary to say that he has been connected with the Executive Department of the State from 
the beginning of the war, and has an intimate personal knowledge o-f ali its transactions and mode 
of doing business. He administered the Finance Department through nearly the entire period of 
its existence, and he has a knowledge concerning these claims possessed by no other man. The 
importance of this business to the State is very little uuiierstood. The amount of the claims unad 
justed i.s S2, 475, 801 :j5. Of these, however, accounts amounting to 81,7(111,765 12 have beenexamined 
'by the Treasury Department, and suspensions made to the amount of 51,381,209 U. These suspen- 
sions grow out of the informality or insufficiency of the vouchers; and it will at once be seen 
the imi)ortance to the State of having a man to supply the deficiencies of the voucliers and superin- 
tend the adjustment of the accounts who is familiar with the Cusiuess, and has coinpleSe .>vQd inci- 



STATISTICS AND DOCUMENTS. 359 

mate knowlodjie of the whole subject. General Terrell states that he will need two experienced 
clerks to complete this settlement, ;uid it is probable that it will be necessary to incur considerable 
additional expense in procuring the evidence, and signatures to complete the deficient vouchers. In 
our reeonimendatiou for appropriation for the Adjutant General's office, this expense is included. 

INDIANA LEGION ACCOUNT. 
In addition to the claims above mentioned, there are others on account of expenditures by the 
State in equipping and subsisting the ludiana Legion, amounting to over half a million of dollars, 
which it is believed the Government can be induced to pay. General Terrell proposes to take this 
matter in charge also, and we feel confident that it will be vigorously and efficiently prosecuted. 

ORDNANCE MATTERS. 

By direction of the last General Assembly the duties of the Ordnance Department of the Slate 
were committed to the charge of the Adjutant General. How efficiently and skillfully those 
dnties have been discharged his communication bears ample testimony. A complete settlement has 
been eft'ected with the general Government, by which the State has been released from all accounta- 
bility on account of ordnance. The settlement made upon such favorable terms, was a saving to 
the State of S'J3,2()3 35, which amount would otherwise have had to be assessed upon the counties 
in arrearage, some of them being deficient to the amount of ten to fifteen thousand dollars. In 
iiildition to this a claim of the State amounting to §23,91(5 OS, for taking care of United States arms, 
has been made up and filed with the proper department, and will no doubt be allowed without much 
delay. The Adjutant General has also taken steps to procure from the Government the quota of 
.•irms due the State for the pa->t seven years under the law of 18(i8. Throughout all this busi- 
ness General Terrell has shown great foresight and wisdom, and we take pleasure in bearing this 
testimony to the value and importance of his labors. 

EXPENSES AND APPROPKIATIONS. 

The affairs of the Adjutant General's office have been economically administered, and all the 
expenditures have been judicious and reasonable. For the proper prosecution of the work of the 
office proper, the settlement of claims already referred to, and the necessary expenditures for sta- 
tionery and other incidentals, we recommend an appropriation of five thousand dollars for the year 
1S07, and the same amount for 1SC8.

KXKCUTIVIC DiCP.VUTMENT OF INDIANA, > 

Indianapolis, September I'J, 18G.3. j 
Sir. ; Quite a numbei- of the first regiments raised in this State are now so much reduced as to 
have each less than one hundred and fifty effective men. I rcspectfullj' request, if not inconsistent 
with the interests of the public service, that I may be allowed to select, subject to the approval of 
ilie War Department, eleven regiments, (one from each Congressional District,) luid tbiit they may 
lie ordered to rendezvous at such places as may be convenient in the Districts in which they were 
formerly recruited, for re-organi'/ation. 

I am convinced that the army can be strengthened more speedily in this manner than any other, 
;!s the regiments thus selected will have the advantage of all the officers and men as recruiting otfi- 
( ers, and I am assured that the friends of the regiments will take a special interest in the matter. 
They number so few men at this time, that their loss could not be seriously felt by Department 
i 'ommaiiders.

day as practiciible

the Governors to designate places of rendezvous. At the expiration of the terms of furlough, the 
regiments to be returned to the field, and a like number of old regiments, upon the same principle, 
l>e brought home and recruited, and so on. The men who re-enlist, to be mustered out as if their 
first terms of enlistment had expired for past service, and be paid the four hundred and two dollars

organized in l!Sid, as regards bounty, on the same footing as those organized in 18(;2, and it is be-

A AVESTERN CONSPIRACY IN AID OF THE SOUTHERN BEBELLION.

Hon. E. M. St.^nton, Secretary of trar : 

Sir : Having been instructed by you to prepare a detailed report upon the mass of testimony 
furnished me from different sources in regard to the Secret Associations and Conspiracies ayaiust the 
Government formed, principally in the Western States, by traitors and disloyal persons, I have no* 
the honor to submit as follows : 



STATISTICS AND DOCUMENTS. 361 

Duriii!:: inoru than a year past it lias been sreriPrally known to our military autlioritios that a 
.1 secret treasonable organization, affiliated with the Southern Itiibellion and chiefly military in its 
oliaracter, has been rapiiUy extending itself throughout the West. A variety of agencies, which will 
be specified herein, have been employed, and successfully, to ascertain its nature and extent, as W(!ll 
as its aims and its results ; and, as this investigation has led to the arrest in several States of a 
number of its prominent members as dangerous enemies to their country, it has been deemed proper 
to set forth in full the acts and purposes of this organization, and thus to make known to tho 
country at large its intensely treasonable and revolutionary spirit. 

The subject will be presented under the following heads : 

I. Its origin, history, names, &c. 

II. Its organization and officers. 

III. Its exteut and numbers. 

IV. Its armed force. 

V. Its ritual, oaths, and interior forms. 

VI. Its written principles. 

VTI. Its specific purposes and operations. 
VIII. 'I'lie witnesses and their testimony. 

I.— ITS ORIGIN, HISTOKY, NAMKS, Ac. 

This secret association first developed itself in the West in the year 1862, about tho period of the 
lirst conscription ol troops, which it aimed to obstruct and resist. Originally known in certain lo- 
calities as the "Mutual Protection Society," the "t'ircle of Honor," or the "Circle" or 
"Knights of the Jliglity Host," but more widely as the "Knights of the Golden Circle," it 
it was simjjly an inspiration of the rebellion, being little other than an extension among the dis- 
loyal and disaffected at the North of the association of the latter name, which had existed for some 
years at the Soutli, and from which it derived all the chief features of its organization. 

During the summer and fall of ISlili, the Order, both at the North and South, underwent some 
modifications as well as a change of name. In consequence of a partial exposure wliich had been 
made of the signs and secret forms of the " Knights of the Golden Circle," Sterling Price had in- 
stituted as its successor in Missouri a secret political association, which he called the " Corps de 
Belgi(|ue," or " Southern League ;" his principal coadjutor being Charles L. Hunt, of St. Louis, 
then Belgian Consul at that city, but whose exequatur was subsequently revoked by the President 
<rn account of his disloyal practices. The special object of the Corps de Belgique appears to have 
been to unite the rebel sympathizers of Missouri, with a view to their taking up arms and joining 
Price upon his proposed grand invasion of that State, and to theii- recruiting for his army in the 
interim. 

-Aleanwhile, also, there had been instituted at the North, in the autumn of 1863, by sundry dis- 
loyal persons, prominent among whom were Vallandigham and P. C. Wright, of New York, a secret 
order, intended to be general throughout the country, and aiming at an extended influence and 
power, and at more positivo results than its predecessor and which was termed, and lias since been 
widely known as the 0. A. IC, or ^'- Order of American Knir/hts." 

The opinion is expressed by Colonel Sanderson, Provost Marshal General of the Department of 
.Missouri, in his official report upon the progress of the order, that it was founded by Vallandigham 
during his banishment, and upon consultation at Richmond with Davis and other prominent trai- 
tors. It is, indeed, the boast of the order in Indiana and elsewhere, that its " ritual " came direct 
from Davis himself; and Mary Ann Pitman, formerly attached to the command of the rebel For- 
rest, and a most intelligent witness, whose testimony will hereafter be referred to, states positively 
that Davis is a member of the order. 

Upon the institution of the principal organization, it is represented that tho " Corps deBelgiqne " 
was modified by Price, and became a Southern section of the 0. A. K., and that the new name was 
generally adopted for the order, both at the North and South. 

The secret signs and character of the order having become known to onr military authorities, 
further modifications in the ritual and forms were introduced, and its name was finally changed to 
that of the 0. S. L., or "Order of the Sons of Liberty," or the " Knights of the Order of the Sons 
of Liberty." These later changes are represented to have been first instituted, and the new ritual 
compiled, in the State of Indiana, in May last, but the new name was at once generally adopted 
throughout the West, though in some localities the association is still better known as the "Order 
of the American Knights." 

Meanwhile, also, the order has received certain local designations. In parts of Illinois it has 
been called at times the "Peace Organization," in Kentucky the "Star Organization," and in 
Missouri as the " American Organization ;" these however, being apparently names used outside 
of the lodges of the order. Its members have also been familiarly designated as " Butternuts " 
by the country people of Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio, and its separate lodges have also frequently 
received titles intended for the public ear ; that in Cliicago, for instance, being termed by its mem- 
bers the " Democratic Invincible Club," that in Louisville, the " Democratic Reading Room," &c. 

It is to be added that iu the State of New York, and other parts of the North, the secret political 
association known as the " McCleUan Minute Guard" would seem to be a branch of the 0. A. K., 
having substantially tho same objects, to be accomplished, however, by means expressly suited to 
the localities in which it is established. For, as the Chief Secretary of this association, Dr. R. F. 
Stevens, stated in June last to a reliable witness whose testimony has been furnished, "those who 
represent the McClellan interest are compelled to preach a vigorous prosecution of the war, in or- 
der to secure the popular sentiment and allure voters." 

II.— ITS ORGANIZATION AND OFFICERS. 

From printed copies, heretofore seized by the Government, of tho constitutions of tho Supremo 
(^'ouncil, Grand Council, and County Parent Temples, respectively, of the Order of Sons of Liberty, 
in connection with other aud abundant testimony, the organization of the order, iu its latest form, 
is ascertained to be as follows : 

1. The government of the order throughout tho United States is vested in a supremo council, of 
which the officers are a supreme commander, secretary of state, and treasurer. These officers are 
elected for one year, at the annual meeting of the supreme council, which is made up of the grand 
commanders of the several States, ex officio, and two delegates elected from each State in which the 
order is establiohed. 

2. The government of the order in a State is vested iu a Grand Council, tho oflScers of which are

ADJUTANT GENERAL S REPORT. 



a Grand Commandpr, Deputy Grand Commander, Grand Secretary, Grand Treasurer, and a certain 
number of Mnjor Generals, or one for each Slilitary District. These officers also are elected annu- 
ally by "representatives" from the County Teniides, each Temple being entithMj to two represen- 
tatives, and one additional for each thousand members. This body of representatives is also in- 
vested with certain h-gislative functions. 

.'5. The I'arcnt Temple is the organization of the order for a county, each temple being formally 
instituted by authority of the Supreme Council, or of the Grand Council or Grand ('ommander of 
llie State. By the same authority, or by that of the officers of the Parent Temple, branch or sub- 
ordinate temples may be established for townships in the county. 

But the strength and significance of this organization lie in its mililary character. The secret 
constitution of the Supreme Council provides that the Supreme Commander "shall he commavder- 
in-chii'f of all military forces belonging to the order in the various States tvhen called into actual ser- 
rire:'' and further, that the Grand Commanders " shall be commanders-in-chief of the nulitarij forces 
of their respective States. Subordinate to the Grand ('ommander in the State are the " Mnjur Gene- 
rals,"- each of whom commands his separate district and army. In Indiana the Major Generals are 
four in number. In Illinois, where the organization of the Order is considered most perfect, the 
members in each Congressional District composes a " ferif/arfe," which is commanded by a "Briga- 
dier General." The members of each county constitute a "regiment," with a "colonel" in com- 
mand, and those of each township form a "company." A somewhat similar system prevails in In- 
diana, where also each company is divided into "squads," each with its chief — an arrangement in- 
tended to facilitate the guerrilla mode of warfare in case of a general outbreak or local disorder. 

The " McClellan Minute Guard," as appears from a circular issued by the Chief Secretary in 
Xew York in March last, is organized upon a military basis similar to that of the order proi)er. 
It is composed of companies, one for each election district, ten of which constitute a "brigade," 
with a " brigadier general " at its head. The whole is placed under the authority of a "comman- 
der-in-chief." A strict obedience on the part of members to the orders of their superiors is en- 
joined. 

The first " Supreme Commander " of the order was P. C. Wright, of New York, editor of the 
New York A^eivs, who was in May last placed in arrest and confined in Fort Lafayette. Ilis succes- 
sor in office was Vallandigham, who was elected at the annual meeting of the Supremo Council in 
February last. Robert HoUoway, of Illinois, is represented to have acted as Lieutenant (Jeneral, 
or Deputy Supreme Commander, during the absence of Vallandigham from the country. The Se- 
cretary of State chosen at the last election was Dr. Massey, of Ohio. 

In Missouri, the principal officers were Chas. L. Hunt, grand commander, Charles E. Dunn, de- 
puty grand commander, and Green B. Smith, grand secretary. Since the arrest of tlu'se three per- 
sons (all of whom made confessions, which will be presently alluded to), James A. Barrett has, as 
it is understood, officiated as grand commander. He is stated to occupy also the position of chief 
of staff to the Supreme Commander. 

The Grand Commander in Indiana, H. H. Dodd, has just been tried at Indianapolis by a. military 
commission for "conspiracy against the Government," " violation of the laws of war," and other 
charges. The Deputy Grand Commander in that State is Horace Heffren, and the Grand Secretary, 
W. M. Harrison. Tlie Major Generals are W. A. Bowles, John C. Walker, L. P. Milligan, and An- 
drew Humphreys. Among the other leading members of the order in that State are Dr. Athon. 
State secretary, and Joseph Ristine State auditor. 

The Grand Commander in Illinois is Judd, of Lewistown ; and B. B. Piper, of Springfield, 

who is entitled " Grand Missionary " of the State, and designated also as a member of Vallandig- 
ham's staff, is one of the most active members, having been busily engaged throughout the summer 
in establishing temples and initiating members. 

In Kentucky, Judge Bullitt, of the Court of Appeals, is grand commander, and, with Dr. U. F. 
Kalfus and W". U. Thomas, jailor in Louisville, two other of the most prominent members, have 
been arrested and confined by the military authorities. In New York, Dr. R. F. Stevens, the chief 
secretary of the McClellan Minute Guard, is the most active ostensible representative of the secret 
order. 

The greater part of the chief and subordinate officers of the order, and its branches, as well as 
the principal members thereof, are known to the Government, and where not already arrested, may 
regard.themselves as under a constant military surveillance. So complete has been the exposure of 
this secret league, that however frequently the conspirators may change its name, forms, passwords 
and .signals, its true puri>oses and operations cannot longer bo concealed from the military author- 
ities. 

It is to be remarked that the Supreme Council of the order, which annually meets on February 
22, convened this year at New York City, and a special meeting was then appointed to be held at 
Chicago on July 1, or just prior to the day then fixed for the convention of the Democratic party. 
This convention having been postponed to August 20, the special meeting of the Supreme Council 
was also postponed to August 27, at the same place, and was duly convened accordingly. It will be 
remembered that a leading member of the convention, in the course of a speech made before that 
body, alluded approvingly to the session of the Sons of Liberty at Chicago at the same time, as that 
of an organization in harmony with the sentiment and projects of the convention. 

It may be observed, in conclusion, that one not fully acquainted with the true character and 
intention of the order might well suppose that, in designating its officers by high military titles, 
and in imitating in its organization that established in our armies, it was designed merely to render 
itself more popular and attractive with the masses, and to invest its chiefs with a certain sham 
dignity ; but when it is understood that the order comprises within itself a large army of well 
armed men, constantly drilled and exercised as soldiers, and that this army is held ready at any 
time for such forcible resistance to our military authorities, and such active co-operation with the 
public enemy as it may bo called upon to engage in by its commanders, it will be perceived that the 
titles of the latter are not assumed for a mere purpose of display, but that they are the chiefs of an 
actual and formidable force of conspirators against the life of the Government, and that their mili- 
lary system is, as it has been remarked by Colonel Sanderson, "the grand lever used by the i-ebel 
Government for its army operations." 

III.— ITS EXTENT AND NUMBERS. 

The "Temples" or "Lodges" of the order are numerously scattered through the States of Indiana. 
Illinois, Ohio, Missouri and Kentucky. They are also oflicially reported as established, to a less 
extent, in Michigan and the other Western States, as well as in New York, and also in Pennsylva- 
nin, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware and Tennessee. 



STATISTICS AND DOCUMENTS. 363 

Dodd, tho Grand Coiiimandor of Indi:in;i, in an mldrrss to tlm rapmbers in tliiit State of Fcbrnary 
last, claims fliat at llic next annual nic-i:tiiis of the Supreme Council (in February, IKtio,) every 
Statp in ihe Unii>n will be represented, and adiis : "This is tho first and only true national organi- 
zation tho Democratic and (lonservative men of tho country have ever attempted." A provision 
made in the constitution of the Council for a representation from the Territorita shows, indeed, that 
the widest extension of the order is contemplated. 

In the States first mentioned the order is most strongly centered at the foUowinR places, where 
are situated its principal "Temples." In Indiana, at Indianapolis and Vinci'nnes ; in Illinois, at 
Chicago, Springfield and Quincy, (a large proportion of the lodges in and about tho latter place 
having been founded by the notorious guerrilla chief, Jackman) ; in Ohio, at Cincinnati, Dayton, 
and in Hamilton county, (which is proudly termed by members "The South Carolina of the North"); 
in Missouri, at St. Louis; in Kentucky, at Louisville; and in Michigan, at Detroit, (whence com- 
munication was freely had, by the leaders of the order, with Vallandigham during his banishment, 
either by letters addressed to him through two prominent citizens and members of the order, or by 
personal interviews at Windsor, C. W.) It is to be added that the regular places of meeting, as 
well as the principal rendezvous and haunts of the members in these and less important places, are 
generally well known to the Government. 

The actual numbers of tho order have, it i.". believed, never been officially reported, and cannot, 
therefore, be accurately ascertained. Various estimates have been made by leading members, some 
of which are no doubt considerably exaggerated. It has been asserted by delegates to tho Su- 
preme Council of February last, that the number was there represented to be from 800,000 to 
1.01)0,000; but Vallandigham, in his speech last summer at Dayton, Ohio, placed it at .500,000, which 
is probably much nearer the true total. The number of its members in the several States has been 
differeutly estimated in the reports and statements of its officers. Thus, the force of the order in 
Ii'diana is stated to be from 7-"i,Ol>0 to 12.'i,000; in Illinois, from 100,000 to 140,000; in Ohio, from 
SO, 000 to 108,000; in Kentucky, from 40,000 to 70,000; in Missouri, from 20,000 to 40,000 ; and in 
Michigan and New York about 20,000 each. Its representation in the other States above mentioned 
does not specifically appear from the testimony ; but, allowing for every exaggeration in the figures 
reported, they may be deemed to present a tolerably faithful view of what, at least, is regarded by 
the order as its true force in the States designated. 

It is to be noted that the order, or its counterpart, is probably much more widely extended at the 
South even than at the North, and that a large proportion of the officers of the rebel army are rep- 
resented by niost reliable witnesses to be members. In Kentucky and Missouri the order has not 
hesitated to admit as members, not only officers of that army, but also a considerable number of 
guerrillas, a class who might be supposed to appreciate most readily its aims and purposes. It is 
fully shown that as lately as in July last several of these ruffians were initiated into the first degree 
bv Dr. Kalfus, in Kentucky. 

IV.— ITS ARMED FORCE. 

\ review of the testimony in regard to the armed force of the order will materially aid in deter- 
mining its real strength and numbers. 

Although the order has from tho outset partaken cf tho military character, it was not till the 
summer or fall of 18G3 that it began to be generally organized as an armed body. Since that date 
its officers and leaders have been busily engaged in placing it upon a military basis, and in prepar- 
ing it for a revolutionary movement. A general system of drilling has been instituted and sixretly 
carried out. Members have been instructed to be constantly provided with weapons, and in some 
localities it has been absol'itely required that each member should keep at his residence, at all times, 
certain arms and a specified quantity of ammunition. 

In March last, tho entire armed force of the order, capable of being mobilized for effective service, 
was represented to be :iiO,000 men. The details, however, upon which this statement was based are 
imperfei'tly set forth in tho testimony, and it is not known how far this number may be exagge- 
rated. It is abundantly shown, however, that the order, by means of a tax levied upon its mem- 
bers, has accumulated considerable funds for tho purchase of arms and ammunition, and that these 
have been procured in large quantities for its use. Tho witness Clayton, on the trial of Dodd, esti- 
mated that two-thirds of tho order are furnished with arms. 

G. B. Smith, Grand Secretary of tho order in Missouri, states in his confession of .July last: "I 
know that arms, mostly revolvers, and ammunition have been purchased by members in St. Louis 
to send to members in the country where they could not be had ;" and he subsequently adds that he 
himself alone clandestinely purchased and forwarded, between April 15th and llith last, about two 
hundred revolvers, with five thousand percussion caps and other ammnnitiou. A muster roll of one 
of the country lodges of that State is exhibited, in which, opposite the name of each member, are 
noted certain numbers, under the heads of "Missouri Republican," "St. Louis Union," ".Vuzeigor," 
".Miscellaneous Periodicals," "Books," "Speeches" and "Reports," titles which, when interpreted, 
severally signify single-barrelled guns, douhle-bnrrelled guns, revolvers, private ammunilion, private lead, 
company powder, company lead; the roll thus actually setting forth tho amount of arms and ammu- 
nition in the possession of the lodge and its members. 

In the States of Ohio and Illinois tho order is claimed by its members to be unusua'ly well armed 
with revolvers, carbines, &c.; but it is in regard to the arming of tho order in Indiana that the 
]>rincipal statistics have been presented, and these may servo to illustrate the system which has 
probably been pursued in most of the States. One intelligent witness, who has been a member of 
the order, estimates that in March last there were in possession of tho order in that State 0,000 
muskets and 00,000 revolvers, besides private arms. Another member testifies that at a single lodge 
meeting of two hundred and fifty-two persons, which ho attended early in the present year, the 
sum of S4,000 was subscribed for arms. Other members present statements in regard to the num- 
ber of arms in their respective counties, and all agree in representing that these have been con- 
stantly forwarded from Indianapolis into the interior. Beck A Brothers is designated as tho firm in 
that city to which most of the arms were consigned. These were shipped principally from the 
East ; some packages, however, were sent from Cincinnati, and some from K(Uitiicky, and the boxes 
were generally marked "pick-axes," "hardware," "nails," "household goods," &c. 

General Carrington estimates that in February and March last nearly .10,000 guns and revolvers 
entered the State, and this estimate is based upon an actual inspection of invoices. The true num- 
ber introduced was therefore probably considerably greater. That officer adds that on the day in 
■which the sale of arms was stopped by his order, in Indianapolis, nearly 1,000 additional revolvers 
had been contracted for, and that tho trade could not supply the demand. He further reports that 
after the introduction of arms into tho Department of the North had been prohibited in (Jeneral 
Orders of March last, a seizure was made by the Govornmcnt of a large quantity of revolv&rs aitd 



S64 ADJUTANT general's REPORT. 

535,000 rounds of ammunition, wliicli had beon shippod to the tiini in ludianapolis, of T/hich 11. H. 
Dodd, Gra«d Ccnimander, was a member; that otlicr arms about to be shipjiod to the same destina- 
tion were seized in New York City ; and that all tliese were claimed as the private property of Johu 
<). Walker, one of the Major Generals of the order in Indiana, and were represented to have been 
"ptirckasoil for a few friends." It is to be added that at the office of Hon. D. W. Voorhees, M. C, at 
Terre Haute, were discovered letters which disclosed a correspondence between bins and ex-Senator 
Wall, of New Jersey, in regard to the purchase of 20,000 Garribaldi rifles, to be forwarded to tlie 
West. 

It appears in the course of the testimony that a considerable quantity of arms and animunitioB 
were brought into the State of Illioois from Burlington, Iowa, and that ammunition was shipped 
from New Albany, Intiiana, into Kentucky. It is also rejjresented that, had Vailandigbam been 
arrested on his return to Ohio, it was contemplated furnishing the order with arms from a point in 
C'anada, near Windsor, where they were stored and ready for use. 

There remains further to be noticed, in this connection, the testimony of Clayton upon the trial 
of Dodd, to the effect that arms were to be furnished the order from Nassau, N. P., by way of Can- 
ada; that, to defray the expenses of these arms or their transportation, a formal assessment was 
levied upon the lodges, but that the transportation into Canada was actually to be furnished by the 
Confederate authorities. 

A statement was made by Huat, Grand Commander of Missouri, before his arrest, to a fellow 
member, that shells and all kinds of munitions of war, as well as infernal machines, were manufac- 
tured for the order at Indianapolis; and the late discovery in Cincinnati of samples of hand-gren- 
ades, conical shells, and rockets, of which one thousand were about to be manufactured, under a 
Bpecial contract, for tlie 0. S. L., goes directly to verify such a statement. 

These details will convey some idea of the attempts which have been made to place the order upon 
a war footing and prepare it for aggressive movements. But notwithstanding all the efforts that 
have been put forth, and witli coasiderable success, to arm and equip its members as fighting men, 
the leaders of the order have felt themselves still very deficient in their armament, and numerous 
•schemes for increasing their armed strength have been devised. Thus, at the time of the issuing of 
the general order in Missouri requiring the enrollment of all citizens, it was proposed in the lodges 
•of the 0. A. K., at St. Louis, that certain members should raise companies in the militia, in their 
respective wards, and thus get command of as many Government arms and equipments as possible, 
for the fiiture use of the order. Again it was proposed that all the members should enroll them- 
«elves in the militia, instead of paying commutation, in this way obtaining possession of United 
States arms, and having the advantage of the drill and military instruction. In the councils of the 
order in Kentucky in June last, a scheme was devised for disarming all the negro troops, which it 
was thought could be done without much difficulty, and appropriating their arms for the purposes 
of the Order. 

The despicable treachery of these proposed plans, as evincing the aniintis of the conspiracy, need 
not be commented upon. 

It is to b* observed that the order in the State of Missouri has couated greatly upon support 
from the enrolled militia, in case of an invasion by Price, as containing many members and friends 
•of the O. A. K.; and that the " Paw-Paw militia," a military organization of Buchanan county, as 
well as the militia of Platte and Clay counties, known as "Flat Foots," have been relied ujwa 
.ilmoht to a man, to join the revolutionary movement. 

v.— ITS RITUAL, OATHS, AND INTERIOR FORMS. 

The ritual, of the order, as well as its secret signs, passwords, <fec., lias been fully made known to 
the military authorities. In August hist, one hundred and twelve copies of the ritual of the O. A. 
K. were seized in the office of Hon. D. W. Voorhees, M. C, at Terre Haute, and a large number of 
the 0. S. L., together with copies of the constitutions of the councils, &c., already referred to, were 
found in the building at Indianapolie, occupied by Dodd, the Grand Commander of Indiana, as had 
been indicated by the Government witness and detective, Stidger. Copies were also discovered at 
Sjouisville, at the residence of Dr. Kall'us, concealed within the mattress of his bod, where, also, 
Stidger had ascertained that they were kept. 

The ritual of the 0. A. K., has also been furnished by the authorities at St. Louis. From this 
ritual, that of the 0. S. L., does not materially differ. Both are termed " progessive," in that they 
I)rovide ior five separate deyreee of membership, and contemplate the admission of a member of a 
lower degree into a higher one only upon certain vouchers and proofs of fitness, which, with each 
ascending degree, are required to be stronger and more imposing. 

Each degree has its commander or head ; the Fourth or " Grand " is the highest in a State ; the 
Fifth or " Supreme," the highest in the United States ; but to the first or lower degree only do the 
great majority of members attain. A large proportion of these enter the order, supposing it to be 
.1 " Democratic " and political association merely ; and the history of the order furnishes a most 
•striking illustration of the gross and criminal deception which may be practised upon the ignorant 
tnasses by unscrupulous and unprincipal leaders. The members of the lower degree are often for a 
considerable period kept quite unaware of the true purposes of their chief's. But to the latter they 
are bound by their obligation "to yield prompt and implicit obedience to the utmost of their abil- 
iity, without remonstrance, hesitation, or delay," and meanwhile their minds, under the discipline 
and teachings to which they are subjected, become educated and accustomed to contemplate with 
comparative unconcern the treason for which they are preparing. 

The oaths, "invocations," "charges," &c., of the ritual, expressed as they are in bombastic and 
extravagant phraseology, would excite in the mind of an educated person only ridicule or contempt, 
hat upon the illiterate they are calculated to make a deep impression, the effect aud importance of 
which were doubtless fully studied by the framers of the iustriiment. 

The oath which is administered upon the introduction of a member into any degree is especially 
smposing in its language ; it prescribes as a penalty for the violation of the obligation assumed, " a 
shameful death," and further that the body of the person guilty of such violation shall bo divided 
in four parts and cast out at the four " gates " of the temple. Not only, as has been said, does it 
enjoin a blind obedience to the orders of the superiors of the order, but it is required to be held of 
j)ar«moi(Hi ob/ji/a^ion to any oath which may be administered to a member in a court of justice or 
elsewhere. Thus, in cases where members have been sworn, by officers empowered to administer 
oaths, to speak the whole truth in answer to questions that may be put to them, aud have then 
been examined in reference to the order and their connection therewith, they have not only refused 
to give any information in regard to its character, but have denied that they were members, or evea 
4luit they knew of its oxiateaco. 



STATISTICS AND COCliMENTS, ?65 

A conspicnoHS insfancL- of this is prrs iitod in tlic (■;i3i\s of Hunt, Dunn and Smitii, tier rfiii'f officer* 
of the Older in ftlissouri, who, iipiii) tlieir first cxaniiDt.iion under oath, after their iinet.t, denied mi 
eonnection witli the order, but confessed, iilso under oatli, at a subseijuent period, tliat this denial 
-was >yliolly false, altliougli in accordance with tlieir obligations as nuimbers of the order. Indeed, 
a deliberate system of deception in regard to the details of the conspiracy is inculcated upon the 
members, and studiously pnrsueil ; and it may In- mentioned in this connection, as a siiiiiiarly desjd- 
cable feature of the organization, that it is hi Id bound to injure the Administration ai»d oliicer.-; o)' 
the Government, in every possible manner, by misrepresentation aiuJ falsihood. 

Members are also instructed that their oath of membership is to be lield paramount to an oath of 
allegiance, or any other oath which may impose obligations inconsisteut with those wliich are as- 
sumed upon entering the order. Thus, if a member, when in danger, or for the purpose of facili- 
tating some traitorous design, has taken the oath of allegiance to the United States, he is held at 
liberty to violate it on the first occasion, his obligation to the order being deemed superior to any 
consideration of duty or loyalty prompted by such oalh. 

It is to be added that where members are threatened with the penalties of peijsry, in case of theit 
answering falsely to questions propounded to them in regard to the order before a court or graml 
jury, they are instructed to refuse to answer such (jnestions, alleging as a ground for their refusal 
tliat their answers may criminatf themselves. The testimony shows that this course has haldtually 
been pursued by members, especially in Indiana, when placed in such a situation. 

Besides the oaths and other forms and ceremonies which have been alluded to, the ritual contain* 
what are termed " Declarations of Principles." These declarations, which are Most important an 
e.xhibiting the creed and character of the order, as inspired by the principles of the rebellion, will 
be fully presented under the next branch of the suVyect. 

The signf, sigtiaU, passirords, &c., of the order are set forth at length in the testimony, bnt neecJ 
only be briefly alluded to. It is a most significant fact, as showing the intimate relations betweeis 
the northern and southern sections of the secret conspiracy, that a member from a Northern State 
is enabled to pass without risk, tlirough the South by the use of the signs of recognition which 
have been established throughout the order, and by means of which members from distant jioints, 
though meeti-ng as strangers, are at once made known to each other as "brothers." Mary .\ni3 
Pitman, expressly states in her testimony that whenever important dispatches are required to b<.> 
sent by rebel generals beyond their lines, members of the order are always selected to convey them. 
Certain passwords are also used in common in both sections, and of these, none appears to hi' more 
familiar than the word " Nu-oh-lac," or the name "Calhoun" spelt backward, and wliich is em- 
ployed upon entering a temple of the first degree of the 0. A. K.— certainly a fitting password to- 
Buch dens of treason. 

Beside the signs of recognition, there are mgnx of tcariiing and danger, for use at night as well aw 
by day ; as for instance, signs to warn members of the ajiproach of United States otticials seekinjr 
to make arrests. The order has also established what are called battle-signals, by means of which, as it 
is asserted, a member serving in the army may communicate with the enemy in the field and thu,-r 
escape personal harm in case of attack or capture. The most recent of these signals represented tc 
have been adopted by the Older, is a five-pointed copper star, worn under the coat, which is to be 
disclosed upon meeting an enemy, who will thus recognize in the wearer a sympathizer and an ally. 
A similar star of German silver, hung in a frame, is said to be numerously displayed by members or 
their families in private houses in Indiana, for the imrpose of insuring protection to their property 
in case of a raid or other attack! and it is stated that in many dwellings in that State, a portrait 
of .lohn Morgan is exhibited for a similar purpose. 

Other signs are used by members, and especially the officers of the order, in their Icnrresyondence . 
Their letters, when of an ofiicial character, are generally conveyed by special messengers, but wlien 
transmitted through the mail, are usually in cypher. When written in the ordinary manner, o 
character at the foot of the letter, consisting of a circle with a line ilrawn across the centre, signi- 
fies to the member who receives it that the statements as written are to be understood in a sense di- 
rectly the opposite to that which would ordinarily be conveyed. 

It is to be added that the meetings of the order, especially in the country, are generally held at 
uight and in secluded places, and that the approach to them is carefully guarded by a line of senti- 
nels, who are passed only by means of special countersign, which is termed the " picket." 

VI.— ITS WRITTEN PRINCIPLES. 

The " Declaration of Principles,'" which is set forth in the ritual of the order, has already beer; 
alluded to. This declaration, wliich is specially framed for the instruction of the great mass of 
members, commences with the following specious proposition : 

"All men are endowed by the Creator with certain rights, equal as far as there is equality in the 
capacity for the appreciation, enjoyment, and exercise of those rights." And subsequentl.v there is 
added: " In the Divine economy no individual of the human race must be permitted to encumber 
the earth, to mar its aspect of transcen<lent beauty, nor to impedi' the progress of the physical or 
intellectual man, neither in himself nor in the race to which he belongs. Hence, a people, upon 
whatever plane they may be found in the ascending scale of hnmaiiity, whom neither the divinity 
within them nor the inspirations of divine and beautiful nature around them can impel to virtuous 
action and progress onward and upward, should be subjected a just and humane servitude and tutel- 
age to the superior race, until they shall Iw able to appi'cciate the benefits and advantages of civil- 
ization." 

Here, expressed in terms of studied hypocracy, is the whole theory of human bondage — the right 
of the strong, because they are strong, to desjioil and enslave the weak, because they are weak ! 
The languages of earth cau add nothing to the cowardly and loathsome baseness of the doctrine, as 
thus announced. It is the robber's creed, sought to be nationalize<l, and would push back the hand 
on the dial plate of our civilization to the darkest periods of liunjan history. It must be admitteil. 
however, that it furnishes a fitting "corner-stone" for the government of a rebellion, every fibre ot' 
whose body and every throb of whose soul is born of the traitorous ambition and slave-pen inspira- 
tions of the South. 

To these detestable tenets is added that otlier pernicious political theory of State sovereignty, 
with its necessary fruit, the monstrous doctrine of Secession — a doctrine which, in asserting that in 
our federative system a part is greater than the whole, would compel the General Government, like a 
Japanese slave, to commit hari-kari whenever a faithless or insolent State should command it to do so. 

Thus, the ritual, after reciting that the States of the Union are "free, independent, and sover- 
eign," proceeds as follows : 

"The Government designated 'The United States of America' has uo sorereignln, because that i.*

an attribute with which tho p?oph?, in their several and distinct political orjraniRations. are pn- 
(Jowi'il, and is inalienable. It was constitut;d by the terms of the compacl, by all the States, through 
the express will of the people thereof, respectively — a common agent, to use and exercise certain 
named, spicified, defined and limited powers which are inherent of tiie sovereignties within those 
States. It is permitted, so far as regards its status and relations, as common agent in the exercise 
<jf the powers carefully acd jealously delegated to it, to call itself 'sujireme,' but not ^ sovercuju.'' 
In accordance with the principles upon which is founded the American Iheonj , Government can exer- 
cis(^ only delegated power ; hence, if those who shall have been chosen to ailminiKter the Govern- 
ment shall assume to exercise powers not delegated, thej- should be regarded and treated as usurpers. 
The reference to ' inherent power,' 'war power,' or 'military necessity," on the part of the func- 
tionary for the sanction of an arbitary exercise of power by him, we will not (iccept in palliation or 
excuse." 

To this is added, aa a corollary, " it is incompatible with the history and nature of our system of 
government that Federal authority should coerce by arms a sovereign State." 

The declaration of principles, however, does not stop here, but proceeds one step further, as 
follows : 

" Whenever the chosen olBccrs or delegates shall fail or refuse to administer the Government in 
strict accordance with the letter of the accepted Constitution, it is the inherent right, and the 
solemn and imperative duty of the people to re^isHhe functionaries, and, if need be, to ejcpcl them by 
force of armfi. Such resistance is not revolution, hut is solely the assertion of right — the exercise of 
uU the noble attributes which impart honor and dignity to manhood." 

To the same eflect, though in a milder tone, is the platform of the order in Indiana, put forth by 
the Grand Council at their meeting in February last, which declares that " the right to alter or 
<iOoUxli their Government whenever it fails to secure the blessings of liberty, is one of the inalien- 
able rights of the people that can never be surrendered." 

Such, thi II, are the principles which the new member swears to observe and abide by in his obliga- 
tion, set forth in the ritual, where he says ; " I do solemnly promise that will I ever cherish in my 
heart of hearts the eublime creed of the E. K. (Excellent Knights), and will, so far as in me lies, 
illustrate the same in luy intercourse with men, and will detVnd the principles thereof if need be, 
with my life, whensoever assailed, in my own country first of all. 1 do further solemnly declare 
that I will never take up arms in behalf of any government which does not acknowledge the solo 
authority or power to be the will of the governed." 

In the same connection may be quoted the following extracts from the ritual, as illustrating tho 
principle of the right of revolution, and resistance to constituted authority, insisted upon by the 
order : 

" Our swords shall bo • nsheatli'ed whenever the great principles which we aim to inculcate and 
have sworn to maintain . ud defer-' are assailed." 

Again : " I do solemnly promft'e, that whenever the principles which our order inculcates shall 
be assailed in my own State or country, I will defend these principles with my sword and my life, 
in whatsover capacity may be assigned me by the competent authority of our order." 

And further : " I do promise that I will, at all times, if needs be, take up arms in the cause of 
the oppressed — in my own country first of all— against any power or government usurped, which 
may be found in arms and waging war against a people or peoples who are endeavoring to establish, 
or tiave inaugurated a government for themselves, of their own free choice " 

Moreover, it is to be noted that all the addresses and speeches of its leaders breathe the same 
principle, of the right of forcible resistance to the Government, as one of the tenets of the order. 

Thus, P. C. Wright, Supreme Commander, in his general address of December, 18i>J, after urging 
that "the spirit of the fathers may animate the fr-e minds, the brave hearts, and the still 
unshackled limbs of the true Dcmocrac;/,'" (meaning the members of the order), adds as follows : "To 
be prepared for the crisis now approaching, we must catch from afar the earliest and faintest 
breathings of the spirit of the storm ; to be successful when tho storm comes, we must be watchful, 
patient, brave, confident, organixed, armed." 

Thus, too, Dodd, Grand Commander of ihe order in Indiana, quoting in his address of February 
last, the views of his chief, Vallandigham, and adopting them as his own, says: 

"Hi- (Vallandigham). judges that the Washington power will not yield up its power, until it is 
taken from them by an indignant people, by force of arms." 

Such, then, are the written principles of the order in which the neophyte is instructed, and which 
he is sworn to cherish and observe as his rule of action, when, with arms placed in his hands, he is 
called upon to engage in the overthrow of his Government. This declaration — first, of the absolute 
right of slavery ; second, of State sovereignty and the right of secession ; third, the right of armed 
resistance to constituted authority on the part of the disaffected and the disloyal, whenever their 
ambition may prompt them to revolution — is but an assertion of that abominable theory which, 
from its first enunciation, served as a pretext for conspiracy after conspiracy against the Govern- 
ment on the pal I of Southern traitors, until their detestable plotting culminated in open rebellion 
and bloody civil war. What more appropriate name, therefore, to be communicated as a password 
to the new nieniber, upon his first admission to tin; secrets of the oider, could have b.en conceived 
than that wliieli was actually adopted — that of " Calhoun ! "■ — a man who. battled in his lust for 
power, witli gnashing teeth, turned upon the Government that had lifted him to its highest honors, 
and upon the country that had borne him, and down to the very close of his fevered life, labored 
incessantly to scatter far and wide the seeds of that poison of death, now upon our lips. The thorns 
which now pierce and tear us are of the tree he planted. 

VII.— ITS SPECIFIC PURPOSES AND OPERATIONS. 

From tb(> principles of the order, as thus Set forth, its general purpose of co-operating with the 
rebellion may readily be inferred, and, in fict, these principles could logically lead to no other 
result. This general purpose, indeed, is distinctly set forth in the personal statements and confes- 
sions of its members, and particularly of its prominent officers, who have been induced to make 
disclosures to the Government. Among the most significant of these confessions are those already 
alluded to, of Hunt, Dunn, and Smith, the heads of the order in Missouri. The latter, whose state- 
ment is full and explicit, says: " At the time I joined the order, I understood that its object was 
to aid anil assist th" Confederate Government, and endeavor to restore the Union as it was prior to 
this rebellion. ' He adds : " The order is hostile, in every respect, to the General Government, and 
friendly to the so-called Confederate Government. It is exclusively madi; up of disloyal persons^ 
of all Democrats who are desirous of securing the independence of the Confederate States, with a 
view of restoring the Union as it was." 



STATISTICS AND DOCUMENTS. 367 

It would bo i(il<' til romniiiit oil such gibberish as the statement that "the independence of tlio 
Confederate 8t;ites " was to be used as a means of restoring "the Union as it was ; " and yet, under 
the nianipnbitioiis of these traitorous jugglers, doubtless the brains of many havo been so far 
muddled iis to ncci'pt this shameless declaration as true. 

But to proceed to the .■'pccific. purposes of the ordiT, wliich its leaders havo had in view from the 
beginning, and which, as will be seen, they have been able, in many cases, to carry out, with very 
considerable success, the following are found to be most pointedly presented by the testimony : 

1. Aiding Soldifrs to De^at, utid Harboring and Protecting Dfserlern. — Karly in its history the order 
essayed to undermine such portions of the army as were exposed to its insidious approaches. Agents 
were sent by the K. G. ('. into the camps to introduce the order among the soldiers, and those who 
became members were instructed to induce as many as possible of their companions to desert, and 
for this puprose the latter was fnniished by the order with money and citizens' clothing. Soldiers 
who hesitated at desertion, but desired to leave the army, were introduced to lawyers, who engaged 
to furnish them some qnafi legal prt text for so doing, and a certain attorney of Indianapolis, named 
AValpole, who was particularly conspicuous in furnishing facilities of this character to soldiers who 
applied to him, has boasted that he has thus aided five hundred enlisted men to escape from their 
contracts. Through the schemes of the order in Indiana, whole com[)anies were broken up ; a 
large detachment of a battery company, for instance, deserting on one occasion to the enemy, with 
two of its guns, and the camps were imbued with a spirit of discontent and dissatisfaction with the 
service. Some estimate of the number of deserters at this time may be derived from a report of the 
Adjutant General of Indiana, of .January, ISiiii, setting forth that tlie number of deserters and 
absentees returned to the army through the post of Indianapolis alone, during the month of D.ecem- 
lier, lSi;2, was nearly two thousand six hundred. 

As soon as arrests of these deserters began to be generally made, writs of hahean corpus were issued 
in their cases by disloyal judges, and a considerable number were discharged thereon. In one 
instance, in Indiana, where an officer in charge of a deserter properly refused to ob;-y the writ, 
after it had been suspended in such cases by the President, his attacliment for contempt was ordered 
by the Chief Justice of the State, who declared the " streets of Indianapolis might run with blood, 
>iut that he would enforce his authority against the President's order." On another occasion certain 
I'nitfd States officers, who had made the arrest of deserters in Illinois, were themselves ari-ested 
for kidnapping, and held to trial by a disloyal judge, who at the same time discharged the deserters, 
though acknowledging them to be such. 

Soldiers, upon deserting, were assured of immunity from punishment, and protection on the part 
of the order, and were instructed to bring away with them their arms, and, if mounted, their 
horses. Details Stnt to arrest thein by the military authorities were in several cases forcibly 
resisted, and, where not unusually strong in numbers, were driven back by large bodies of men, 
subsequently generally ascertained to be members of the order \Vhei„ arrests were eflecled, our 
Troops were openly attacked and fired upon, on their return. Ih.tances of such attacks oc-curring in 
Morgan and Kusli C' unties, Indiana, are especially noticed by General CarringFon. In the case of 
the outbreak in Morgan county, J. J. Bingham, editor of the Indiamipolis .ScH/i'iic?. a member or 
friend of the order sought to forward to the disloyal newspapers of the West false and inllininiatory 
telesjrapbic dispatches in regard to the afi"air, to the effect that cavalry liad been sent to arrest all 
the Democrats in the county, that they had committed gross outrages, and that several citizens had 
been shot ; and ad<iing: " Ten thousand .soldiers can not hold the men arrested this night. Civil 
war and bloodshed are inevitable." The assertions in the dispatch were entirely false, and may 
serve to illustrate the fact heretofore noted, that a studious misrepresentation in regard to the acts 
of the Government and its officers is a part of the prescribed duty of members of the order. It is 
to be added that seven of the party in Morgan county who made the attack upon our troops were 
convicted of thi-ir otTense by a State court. Upon their trial it was proved that the party was com- 
posed of members of the K. G. C. 

One of the most pointed instances of protection furnished to deserters occurred in a case in Indi- 
ana, where seventeen deserters entrenched themselves in a lug cabin with a ditch and palisade, and 
were furnished with provisions and sustained in their defense against our military authorities for a 
considerable period by the order or its friends. 

2. Discoxiru Cling Enlistments and Resisting the Draft. — It is especially inculcated by the order to 
oppose the reinforcement of our armies, either by volunteers or drafted men In lsi;2 the Knights 
of the Gulden Circle organized generally to resist the draft in the Western States, and were strong 
tuough in certain localities to greatly embarrass the; Government. In this year and early in ISi'.'i a 
number of enrolling officers were shot in Indiana and Illinois. In Blackfonl county, Indiana, an 
attack was made upon the court house, and the books connected with the draft were destroyed. In 
several counties of the State a considerable military force was required for the protectiun of the 
United States officials, and a large number of arrests were made, including that of one Iteynolds, 
an ex-Senator of the Legislature, for publicly urging upon the ))npulace to resist the conscription — 
an offense of the same character, in fact, as that upon which Vullandigliam was apprehended in 
Oliio. These outbr aks were, no doubt, in most cases, incited by the order, and engaged in by its 
members. In Indiana nearly two hundred persons wore indicted for conspiracy against the Govern- 
ment, resisting the draft, etc., and about sixty of these were convicted. 

Where members of the order were forced into the army by the draft, they were instructed, in case 
they were prevented from presently escaping, and were obliged to go to the field, to use their arms 
in battle against their fellow-soldiers, rather than the enemy, by whom, through the signs of the 
order, they would be recognized and received as friends. It is to be added that whenever a member 
volunteered in the army, he was at once expelled from the order. 

'.\. Circiilatinn of Dislityat and Trea-onnble I'nblicntions. — The order, especially in Missouri has 
secretly circulated throughout the country a great quantity of treasonable publications, as means 
of extending its own power and influence, as well as of giving encouragement to the ilisloyal and 
inciting them to treason. Of these, some of the principal are the fullowing: " I'ollard's Southern 
History of the War," "Official Reports of the (,'onl'ederate Government," " Life of Stonewall Jack- 
son," pamphlets containing articles from the "Metropolitan liecord," "Abraham Africanus, or 
Mysteries of the White House," "The Lincoln Catechism, or a Guide to the Presidental election of 
18()l." " Indestructible Organics," by Tirga. These publications have generally been procured by 
formal requisitions drawn upon the grand commander by leading members of the inferiur of a 
State. One of these requisition, datfd June Uith last, and drawn by n local secretary of the order 
at Gentery ville. Mo., is exhibited in the testimony It contains a column of the initials of a numb"r 
of subscribers opposite whose names are entered the number of disloyal publications to be furnished, 
the particular book or books, etc., required being indicated by fictitious titles.

ADJUTANT GENERAL S REPORT, 



4. Commiinicatiiiij inilli iiiiij (iiriitg IiiteUiijence lothe Enemy. — Smith, Granil Secri'tary of (iio order in 
Missouri, says, in liis coiilbssiou : " Rebel spies, mail-cariiers, and emissaries, liave been carefully 
protected by this order ever since I have been a member." It is shown in the testimony tobeciistoul- 
ary in the rebel service to employ members of the order as spies, under tlie guise of stddiers furnishe.l 
with furloughs to visit their homes within our lines. On coming within the territory occu[)ied by 
our forces, they are harbored and supplied with information by the order. Anotlier class of spies 
claim to be deserters from the enemy, and at once seek an opportunity to take tlieoath of allegiance. 
which, however, though voluntarily taken, they claim to be administered while they are under a 
species of duress, and therefore, not to be biiiding. Upon swearing allegiance to the Government, 
the pretended deserter engages, with the assistance of the order, in collecting contraband goods, or 
procuring intelligence to be conveyed to the enemy, or in some other treasonable enterprise. In his 
official report of June I'ith last. Colonel Sanderson remarks: "This department is filled with rebel 
spies, all of wliotn belong to the order." 

In Missouri, ri'gular mail communication was for a long period maintained through the agency 
of the order from St. Louis to Price's army, by means of which private letters as well as official 
despatches between him and the Grand Oommander of Missouri were regularly transmitted. The 
mail-carriers started from a point on the Pacific railroad, near Kirkwood Station, about fourteen 
miles from St. Louis, and traveling only by night, proceeded (to quote from Colonel Sanilerson's 
report) to " Blattox Mills, on the Maramee river, thence past Mineral Point to Webster, thence 
to a point fifteen miles below Van Buren, where they crossed the Black river, and thence to the 
rebel lines." It is probably also by this route that the secret correspondence, slated by the witness 
Pitman to have been constantly kept up between Price and V'allandigham, the heads of the order at 
the North and South, respectively, was successfully maintained. 

A similar cemmunicatiou has been continuously held with the enemy from Louisville, Kentucky. 
A considerable number of women in that State, many of them in high position in rebel society, and 
some of them outwardly professing to be loyal, were discovered to have been actively engaged iu 
receiving and forwarding mails, with the assistance of the order and as its instruments. Two of 
the most notorious and successful of these, Mrs. Woods and Miss Cassell, have been apprehended 
and imprisoned. 

By means of this correspondence with the enemy, the members of the order were promptly apprised 
of all raids to be made by the forces of the former, and were able to hold thctnselves prepared to 
render aid and comfort to the raiders. To show liow efficient for this purpose was the system thu* 
established, it is to be added that our military authorities have, in a number of cases, been informed, 
through members of the order, employed in the interest of the Government, of impending raids, and 
important army movements of the rebels, not only days, but sometimes weeks sooner than the same 
intelligence could have reached them through the ordinary channels. 

On the other hand, the system of espionage kept up by the order, for the purpose of obtaining 
information of the movements of our own forces, etc., to be imparted to the enemy, seems to have 
been as perfect as it was secret. The Grand Secretary of the order in Missouri states, in his confes- 
sion : "One of the special objects of this order was to place members iu steamboats, IV'rryboats, 
telegraph ofSces, express offices, department headquarters, provost Marshal's office, and, in fact, in 
every position where they conld do valuable service;'" and he proceeds to specify certain members, 
who, at- the date of his confession (August 2d last,) were employed at the express and telegraph 
offices in St. Louis. 

5. Aiding the Encmij by liecruiling for Them or Anststing Them to Itecruit within our Lines. — This 
iias also been extensively carried on by members of the order, particularly in Kentucky and Mis- 
souri. It is estimated that two thousand men were sent South from Louisville alone, during a few 
weeks in April and May, ISO-l. The order and its friends at that city have a permanent fund, to 
which there are many subscribers, for the purjjose of fitting out with pistols, clothing, money, etc., 
men desiring to join the Southern service ; and in the lodges of the order in St. Louis and Northern 
Missouri, money has often been raised to purchase horses, arms, and equipments for soldiers about 
to be forwarded to the Southern army. In the latter State, i)artie8 empowered by Price, or by 
Grand t'omuiander Hunt as his representative, to recruit for the rebel service, were nominally 
authorized to " /ocn^e Zands," as it was expressed, and in their reports, which w-as formally made, 
the number of acres, etc., located, represented tlie number of men recruited. At Louisville, those 
desiring to join the Southern forces were kept hidden, and supplied with food and lodging until a 
convenient occasion was presented for their transportation South. They were then collected, and 
conducted at night to a safe rendezvous of the order, whence they were forwarded to their destina- 
tion, in some cases stealing horses from the United States correls on their way. While awaiting an 
occasion to be sent South, the men, to avoid the suspicion which might be excited by their being 
seen together in any considerable number, w-ere often employed on farms in the vicinity of Louis- 
ville, and the farm of one Moore, in that neighborhood (at whose house also meetings of the order 
were held) is indicated in the testimony as one of the localities where such recruits were so rende-/- 
voused and employed. 

The same facilities which were afforded to recruits for the Southern army were also furnished by 
the order to persons desiring to proceed beyond our linos for any illegal purpose. By these Louis- 
ville was generally preferred as a point of departure, and, on the Blississippi river, a parti -ular 
steamer — the Graham — was selected as the safest convenience. 

(). Furnishing the Rebels mith Arms, Ammunition, <{■(•. — In this, too, the order, and especially its 
female members and allies, has been sedulously engaged. The rebel women of Louisville and Ken- 
tucky are represented as having rendered the most valuable aid to the Southern army, by transport- 
ing very large quantities of percussion caps, powder, etc., concealed upon their persons, to some 
convenient locality near the lines, whence they could be readily conveyed to those for whom they 
were intended. It is estimated that at Louisville, up to May 1, last, the sum of S17,000 had been 
invested by the order in ammunition and arms to be forwarded principally iu this manner to the 
rebels. In St. Louis, several firms, who are well known to the Government, the principal of which 
is Beauvais & Co., have been engaged in supplying arms and ammunition to members of the order, 
to be Conveyed to their Southern allies. Mary Ann Pitman, a reliable witness, and a member of 
the O. A. k., who will hereafter be specially alluded to, states in her testimony that she visited 
Beauvais & Co. three times, and procured from them on each occasion about eighty dollar's w-orth 
of caps, besides a number of pistols and cartridges, which she carried in person to Forrest's command, 
besides a much larger quantity of similar articKs which she caused to be forwarded by other agents. 
The guerrillas in Missouri also received arms from St. Louis, and one Douglas, one of the most 
active conspirators of the 0. A. K. in Missouri, and a special emissary of Price, was arrested whilf 
in the net Of transporting a box of forty revolvers by railroad to a guerrilla camp in the interior of 
the State. Medic.ll stores in large quantities were also, by the aid of the order, furnished to the

States military authorities, would forward their goods, as if for ordinary purposes of trade, to a 
certain i)oint near the rebel lines, where, by the connivance of the owncr.s, the enemy would be 
enabled to seize them. 

7. Co-operating irith llw Enemji in Uaida and /HfosiOJi.--.— While it is clear that the order has given 
aid, both directly and indirectly, to the forces of the rebels, and to gueriilla bands, when engaged 
in making incur.•■ion^ into the border States, yc-t Incnuse. on the one hand, of the constant restraint 
upon its action exercised by our military authorities, and, on the other hand, of the general success 
of our armies in the field over those of tlie enemy, their allies at the North has never thus far been 
able to carry out their grand plan of a general armed rising of the order, and its co-operation on an 
extended scale with the Southern forces. This plan has been two-fold, an<l consisted — first, of a 
I'ising of the order in Blissouri, aided by a strong detachment from Illinois, and a co-oparation with 
a rebel army- under Price; second, of a similar rising in Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky, and a co- 
operation with a force under Breckinridge, Buckner, Morgan, or some other rebel commander, who 
was to invade the latter State. In this case the order was first to cut the railroad and telegraph 
wires, in order that intelligence of the movement might not be sent abroad and the transportation 
of federal troops might be delayed, and then to seize upon the arsenals at Indianapolis, Columbus, 
Springfield, Louisville, and Frankfort, and, furnishing such of their number as were without arms, 
to kill or make prisoners of department, district, and post commanders, release the rebid prisoners 
at Rock Island, and at Camps Morton, Douglas, and Chase, and thereupon join the Soutliern army 
at Louisville or some other point in Kentucky, which State was to be permanently occupieil by the 
combined force. At the period of the movement it was also proposed that an attack should be made 
upon Chicago by means of steam-tugs mounted with cannon. A similar course was to be taken in 
Missouri, and was to result in the permanent occupation of the State. 

This plan has long occupied the minds of members of the order, and has been continually dis- 
cussed by them in tlieir lodges. A rising scmewhat of the character described was intended to have 
taken place in the spring of this year, simultaneously with an expected advance of the army of Lee 
upon Washington ; but the plans of the enemy having been anticipated by the movements of our 
our generals, the rising otthe conspirators was necessarily postponed. Again, a general movement ol 
the Southern forces was anticipated to take place about July 4, and with this the order was to co- 
operate. A speech to be made by Vallaiidigliam at the Chichigo Convention, was, it is said, to 
be the signal for the rising; but the postpoueiiient of the convention, as well as the failure of the 
rebel armies to engage in the anticipated movement, again operated to disturb the schemes of the 
order. During the summer, however, the grand plan of action above set forth has been more than 
ever discussed throughout the order, and its success most confidently predicted, while at the same 
time an extensive organization and preparation for carrying their conspiracy into effect have been 
actively going on. But, up to this time, notwithstanding the late raids of the enemy in Kentucky, 
and the invasion of Missouri by Price, no such general action on the jiart of the order as was con- 
templated has taken place — a result, in great part, owing to the activity of cur military authorities 
in strengthening the detachments at the prisons, arsenals, Ac, and in causing the arrest of the 
leading conspirators in the several States, and especially in the seizure of largi! (juantities of arms 
which had been shipped for the use of the order in their intended outbreak. It was, doubtless, on 
account of these precautions that the day last ajvpointed for the rising of the order in Indiana and 
Kentucky (August 10,) passed by with but slight disorder. 

It is, however, the inability of the public enemy, in the now declining days of the rebellion, to- 
initiate the desired movements which have preveuted the order from engaging in open w arfare ; and 
it has lately been seriously considered in their councils, whether they should not jiroceed with their 
revolt, relying alone upon the guerilla bands of Syphert, Jesse, and others, for support and assist- 
ance. 

With these guerrillas the Order has always most readily acted along the border. The latter, in 
cases of the capture by the Union forces of Northern members of the Order engaged in co-operating 
with them, have frequently retaliated by seizing prominent Union citizens and holding them as 
hostages for the release of their allies. At other times, our (iovernment has been officially notified 
by the rebel authoritii'S that if the members of the Order captured were not treated by us as ordi- 
nary prisoners of war, retaliation would be resorted to. 

An attrocious plau of concert between members of the Order in Indiana and certain guerrilla 
bands of Kentucky, agreed upon last spring, may be remarked upon in this connection. Some 2,500 
or 3,000 guerrillas were to be thrown into the border counties, and were to assume the character of 
refugees seeking employment. Being armed, they were secretly to destroy Government property 
wherever practicable, to control the elections by force, prevent enlistments, aid deserters, and stir 
up strife between the civil and military authorities. 

A singular feature of the raids of the enemy remains only to be adverted to, viz: that the officers 
conducting these raids arc furnished by the rebel Government with quantities of United States 
Treasury notes for use within our lines, and that these are probably most frequently procured 
through the agency of members of the Order. 

Mary Ann Pitmon, 'elieved to be a true and faithful witness, states that Forrest, of the rebel 
army, at one time exhibited to her a letter to himself from a prominent rebel sympathizer and mem- 
ber of the Order in Washington, D. C, in which it was set forth that the sum of $20,000 in "green- 
backs" had actually been forwarded by him to the rebel Government at Richmond. 

8. Destruction of Government Property. — There is no doubt that large quantities of (iovernment prop- 
erty have been burned or otherwise destroyed by the agency of the order in different localities. At 
Louisville, in the case of the steamer Taylor, iind on the'Mississippi river, steamers belonging to 
the United States have been burned at the wharves, and generally when loaded with Government 
stores. Shortly before the arrest of Bowles, the senior of the major generals of the Order in Indi- 
ana, he had been engaged in the preparation of "Greek Fire," which was to he found serviceable ia 
the destruction of public property. It was generally understood in the councils of the Order, in- 
the State of Kentucky, that they were to be compensated for such destruction by the rebel Govern- 
ment, by receiving a commission often per cent, of the value of the property so destroyed, and that 
this value was to be derived from the estimate of the loss made in each case by Northern newspapers. 

9. Destruction of Private Proper/:/ and Ptrsecntion of Union Men. — It is reported by General Car- 
rington that the full development of the Order in Indiana was followed by "a state of terrorism" 
among the Union residents of "portions of Brown, Morgan, Johnson, Rush, Clay, Sullivan, Bar- 
tholomew, Hendricks, and other counties" in that State; that from some localities they were driven 
away altogether; that in others, their barns, hav and wheat ricks were burned ; and that many

ADJUTANT GENERAL S REPORT. 



persons, under the geuoral iiisocurity of life and property, sold their effects at a sacrifice and removed 
to other places. At one time, in Brown county, the members of the Order openly threatened the 
lives of all "Abolitionists" who refused to sign a peace memorial which they had prepared and ad- 
dressed to Congress. In Slissouri, also, similar outrages committed upon the iJroperty of loyal citi- 
zens are attributable, in a great degree, to the secret Order. 

In this couuec'tion, the outbreak of the miners in the coal districts of eastern Pennsylvania, in 
the autumn of last year, may be appropriately referred to. It was fully shown in the testimony 
adduced upon the trials of these insurgents, who were guilty of the destruction of property and 
numerous acts of violence, as well as murder, that they were generally members of a secret treas- 
onable association, similar in all respects to the K.G.C., at the meetings of which they had been in- 
cited to the commission of the crimes for which they were tried and convicted. 

10. Assas.iinalion mid Murder. — After what has been disclosed in regard to this infamous league of 
traitors and ruffians, it will not be a matter of surprise to learn that the cold-blooded assassination 
<if Union citizens and soldiers has been included in their devlish scheme of operations. Green B. 
Smith states in his confession that "The secret assassination of United States officers, soldiers, and 
tJovernment employes, has been discussed in the councils of the order and recommended." It is 
also shown in the course of the testimony that at a large meeting of the Order, in St. Louis, in May 
or June last, it was proposed to form a secret police of members of the Order, for the purpose of 
patroling the streets of that city at night and killing every detective and soldier that could be 
readily disposed of; that this proposition was coolly considered, and finally rejected — not because 
of its fiendish character, (no voice being raised against its criminality,) — but because only it was 
deemed premature. At Louisville, in June last, a similar scheme was discussed among the Order 
for the waylaying and butchering of negro soldiers in the streets at night ; and in the same month, 
a party of its members, in that city, was actually organized for the purpose of throwing off the 
track of the Nashville Eailroad a train of colored troops and seizing the opportunity to take the 
jives of as many as possible. Again, in July, the assassination of an obnoxious Provost Marshal, 
by betraying him into the hands of guerrillas, was designed by members in the interior of Ken- 
tucky. Further at a meeting of the Grand Council of Indiana, at Indianapolis, on June 14th last, 
the murder of oneCoflin, a Government detective, who, as it was supposed, had betrayeil the Order, 
was deliberately discussed and fully determined upon. This fact is stated by Stidger in his rejjort 
to General Carrington, of June 17th last, and is more fully set forth in his testimony upon the trial 
of Dodd. He deposes that at the meeting in question, Dodd himself volunteered to go to Hamilton, 
Ohio, where Coffin was expected to be found, and tliert; "dispose of the latter." He adds that prior 
t() the meeting, he himself conveyed from Judge Bullitt, at Louisville, to Bowles and Dodd, at In- 
dianapolis, special instructions to have Coffin "put out of the way" — "murdered" — "at all hazards." 

The opinion is expressed by Colonel Sanderson, under date of June 12th last, that "the recent 
numerous cold-blooded assassinations of military officers and unconditional Union men throughout 
the Military District of North Missouri, especially along the western border," is to bo ascribed to 
the agency of the Order. The witness, Pitman, represents that it is "a part of the obligation or 
understanding of the Order" to kill officers and soldiers "whenever it can he done by steaUh, as well as 
loyal citizens, when considered important or influential persons"; and she adds that, while at Mem- 
phis, during the past summer, she knew that men on piquet were secretly killed by members of the 
Order approaching them in disguise. 

In this connection may be re-called the wholesale assas.sination of Union soldiers by members of 
the Order and their confederates, at Charleston, Illinois, in March last, in regard to which — as a 
startling episode of the rebellion — a full I'eport was addressed from this ollice to the President, under 
date of July 26th last. This concerted murderous assault upon a scattered body of men — mostly 
unarmed — apparently designed for the mere purpose of destroying as many lives of Union soldiers 
as possible— is a forcible illustration of the utter malignity and depravity which characterize the 
members of this Order in their zeal to commend themselves as faithful allies to their fellow-con- 
spirators at the South. 

11. EalKl'li^hiiiPiit of a Northwestern Confederacy. — In concluding this review of some of the princi- 
pal specific pin puses of the Order, it remains only to remark upon a further design of many of its 
leading mi'mbers, the accomplishnnuit of which they are represented as having deeply at heart. 
Hating New England, and jealous of her infiuence and resources, and claiming that the interests of 
the West and South— naturally connected as they are through the Mississippi Valley— are identical, 
•and actuated further by an intensely revolutionary spirit, as well as an unbridled and unprincipled 
ambition, these men have made the establishment of a Western or Northwestern Confederacy, in 
alliance with the South, the grand aim and end of all their plotting and conspiring. It is with this 
steadily in prospect that they are constantly seeking to produce discontent, disorganization, and 
civil disorder at the North. With this view, they gloat over every reverse of the armies of the 
Union, and desire that the rebellion shall be protracted until the resources of the Government shall 
bo exhausted, its strength paralyzed, its currency hopelessly depreciated, and confidence every- 
where destroyed. Then, from the anarchy which — under their scheme^is to ensue, the new Con- 
federacy is to arise, which is either to unite itself with that of the South, or to form therewith a 
close and permanent alliance. Futile and extravagent as this scheme may appear, it is yet the set- 
tled purpose of many leading spirits of the secret conspiracy, and is their favorite subject of thou ght 
and discussion. Not only is this scheme deliberated upon in the lodges of the order, but it is openly 
proclaimed. Members of the Indiana Legislature, even, have publicly announced it, and avowed 
that they will take their own State out of the Union, and recognize the independence of the South. 
A citizen, captured by a guerilla band in Kentucky, last summer, records the fact that the estab- 
lishment of a new confederacy as the deliberate purpose of the Western people was boastfully as- 
serted by these outlaws, who also assured their prisoner that in the event of such establishment 
there would be a greater rebellion than ever ! " 

Lastly, it is claimed that the new confederacy is already organized; that it has a " provisional 
government," officers, departments, bureaus, &c., in secret operation. No comment is necessary to 
be made upon this treason, not now contemplated for the first time in our history. Suggested by 
the present rebellion, it is the logical consequence Of the ardent and utter sympathy therewith 
which is the life and inspiration of the secret order. 

VIII.— THE WITNESSES AND THEIR TESTIMONY. 

The facts detailed in the present report have been derived from a great variety of dissimilar 
sources, but all the witnesses, however different their situations, concur so pointedly in their testi- 
mony, that the evidence which has been furnished of the facts must be regarded as of the most re- 
liable character. 

The principal witnesses may be classified as follows : 



STATISTICS AND DOCUMENTS. 371 

1. Shrewd, intelligt'nt mon, employed as detectives, and with a peculiar talent for their calling, 
who have gradually gained the conlidence of leading inonibers of the order, and in some cases have 
been admitted to its temples and been initiated into one or more of the degrees.— The most remark- 
able of these is Stidger, formerly a private soldier in our army, who, by the use of an uncommon 
address, though at great personal risk, succeeded in establishing such intimate relations with 
Bowles, Bullitt, Dodd, and other leaders of the order in Indiana and Kentucky, as to be appointed 
Grand Secretary for the latter State, a position the most favorable for obtaining information of the 
plans of these traitors, and warning the (iovernmentHjf their intentions. It is to the rare fidelity 
of this man, who has also Iieen the principal witness upon the trial of Dodd, that the Government 
has been uhiefly indebted for the exp0B\ire of the ilesigns of the conspirators in the two States named. 

•1. Kebel officers and soldiers voluntarily or involuntarily making disclosures to our military 
authorities.— The most valuable witnesses oi' this class are prisoners of war, who, actuated by laud- 
able motives, have of their own accord furnished a large amount of information in regard to tlie 
order, especially as it exists in the Soutli, and of the relations of its members with those of the 
Korthern section. Among these, also, are soldiers at our prison camps, who, without designing it, 
have made known to our officials, by the use of the signs, &c., of the order, that they were members. 

3. Scouts employed to travel tlirough the interior of the border States, and also within or in the 
neighborhood of the enemy's lines, the fact that some of tliese were left entirely ignorant of the 
existence of the order, upon being so employed, attaches an increased value to their discoveries in 
regard to its operations. 

4. Citizen prisoners to whom, while in confinement, disclosures were made relative to the exist- 
ence, extent, and character of the order by fellow-prisoners who were leading members, and who, 
in some instances, upon becoming intimate with the witness, initiated him into one of the degrees.' 

5. Members of the order, who, upon a full acquaintance with its principles, have been appalled 
by its infamous designs, and have voluntarily abandoned it, freely making known their experience 
to our military authorities.— In this class may I'e placed the female witness, Mary Ann IMtman, 
•who, though in arrest at the period of her disclosures, was yet induced to make thi-m for the reason 
that, as she says, "at the last meeting which I attended, they passed an order which I consider as 
utterly atrocious and barbarous; so 1 told them I would have nothing more to do with them.*' 
This woman was attached to the command of the rebel Forrest, as an oflBcer under th(^ name of 
"Lieutenant Rawley;"' but, because lier sex afforded her unusual facilities for cros.<!ing our lines, 
slie was often employed in the execution of important commissions within our territory, and, as a 
member of tlie order, was made extensively acquainted with other members, both of the Northern 
and Southern sections. Her testimony is tlius peculiarly valuable, and, being a person of unusual 
intelligence and force of character, her statements are succinct, pointed, and emphatic. They are 
also especially useful as fully corroborating those of other witnesses regarded as most trustworthy. 

0. Officersof the order of high rank, who liave been prompted to present confessions, more or 
less detailed, in regard to the order and their connection with it.— The principals of these are Hunt, 
Dunn, and Smith, Grand Commander, Deputy Grand Commander, and Grand Secretary of the order 
in Missouri, to whose statements frequent reference has been made. These confessions, though in 
some degree guarded and disingenuous, have furnislied to the Government much valuable informa- 
tion in regard to the secret operations of the Order, especially in Missouri — the affiliation of its 
leaders with Price, &.C. It is to be noted that Dunn makes the statement in common with other 
witnesses that, in entering the Order, he was (juite ignprant of its true purposes. He says : I did 
not become a member understandiugly : the initiatory step was taken in the dark, without reflec- 
tion and without knowledge.'' 

7. Deserters from our army, who, upon being apprehended, confessed that they had been induced 
and assisted to desert by members of the Order. It was, indeed, principally from these confessions 
that the existence of tlie secret treasonable organization of the K.G.C. was first discovered in Indi- 
ana, in the year 18li2. 

8. Writers of anonymous communications, addressed to heads of deiiartmeuts or I'rovost Mar- 
shals, disclosing facts corroborative of other more important statements. 

9. The witnesses before the Grand .lury at Indianapolis, in IS(i:;, when the Order was formally 
presented as a trea.3onable organization, and those whose testimony lias been introduced upon the 
recent trial of Dodd. 

It need only be added that a most satisfactory test of the credibility and weight of much of the 
evidence which has been furnished is afforded by the printed testimony in regard to the character 
and intention of tiie Order, wliich is found in its national and State constitutions and its ritual. 
Indeed tlie statements of the various witnesses are but presentations of the logical and inevitable 
consequences and results of the princii)les therein set forth. 

In concluding this review, it remains only to state tliat a constant reference has been made to the 
elaborate official reports, in regard to the ('»rder, of Brigadier General Carriiigton, commanding 
District of Indiana, and of Colonel Sanderson, Provost Marshal General of the Department of Mis- 
souri. The great mass of tlie testimony upon the subject of the secret conspiracy has been fur- 
nished by tliese officers: the latter acting under tlie orders of Major General Kosecrans, and the 
former co-operating, under the instructions of the Secretary of War, with JIajor (Jeneral Burbridge, 
commanding District of Kentucky, as well as with Governor Morton, of Indiana, who though at 
one time greatly embarrassed, by a Legislature strongl.v tainted witli disloyalty, in his elTorts to 
l-epress the domestic enemy, has at last seen his State relieved from the danger of a civil war. 

But although the treason of the Order has been thoroughly exposed, and although its capacity 
for fatal mischief has, by means of the arrest of its leaders, the seizure of its arms, and the other vigor- 
ous means which have been pursued, been seriously impaired, it is still Inisied with its secret plot- 
tings against the Government and with its perfidious designs in aid of the Southern rebellion. It 
is reported to have recently issued ^lew signs and passwords, and its members assert that foul means 
will be used to prevent the success of the Administration at the coming election, and threaten an 
extended revolt in the event of the re-election of President Lincoln. 

In the presence of the rebellion and of this secret order — which is but its echo and faithful ally — 
we cannot but be amazed at the utter and wide-spread profligacy, personal and ))oIitical, which 
these movements against the Government disclose. The guilty men engaged in them, after casting 
-aside their allegiance, seem to have trodden under foot every sentiment of honor and every restraint 
of law, human and divine. .ludea produced but one Judas Iscariot, and Rome, from th" sinks of 
her demoralization, produced Vmt one Cataline, and yet. as events prove, there has arisen together 
in our land an entire brood of sucli traitors, all animated by the same parricidal spirit, and all 
struggling with the same relentless malignity for the dismemberment of our Union. Of this extra- 
ordinary phenomenon — not parallided, it is believed, in tlie world's history — thei-e can be but one 
explanation, and all tliese blackened and fetid streams of crime may well be traced to the same 



372 ADJUTANT GENEBAL's REPORT. 






(•oiiinicpii luiiutaiii. So fiercely intolerant and imperious was tlie temper eugondered by slavery, that 
when the Southern people, after having controlled the National councils for half a century, were 
beaten at an election, their leaders turned upon the Government with the insolent fury with which 
they would have drawn their revolvers on a rebellious slave in one of their negro quarters ; and 
they have continued since to prosecute their warfare amid all tlie barbarisms and atrocities natur- 
ally and necessarily inspired by the infernal institution in w^hose interestK they are sacrificing alike 
themselves and their country. Many of tliese conspirators, as is well known, were fed, clothed, 
and educated at the expense' of the IS^ation, and were loaded with its honors at the very moment 
they struck at it8 life with the horrible criminality of a son stabbing the bosom of his own mother 
while impressing kisses on his cheeks. Thi' leaders of the traitors in the loyal States, who so com- 
pletely fraternize with these conspirators, and whose machinations are now unmasked, it is as clearly 
the duty of the Administration to iirosecute and punish, as it is its duty to subjugate the rebels 
wlio are openly in arms against the Government. In the performance of this duty, it is entitled tO' 
f xpect, and will doubtless receive, the zealous co-operation of true men everywhere, who, in crush- 
ing the truculent foe ambushed in the haunts of this secret Order, should rival in courage and faith- 
fulness the armies which are so nobly sustaining our flag on the battle fields of the South. 
Respectfully submitted,
